Receive email into Slack via MailKite

A minimal, copy-paste starter. Swap in your own domain and API key.

webhook.ts
import { verifyWebhook } from "@mailkite/client";

// MailKite POSTs every inbound email at your domain as JSON.
// Point a route at this handler in the MailKite dashboard.
export default async function handler(req: Request) {
const raw = await req.text();
const sig = req.headers.get("x-mailkite-signature") ?? "";

// Reject anything not signed by your webhook secret
const ok = await verifyWebhook(sig, raw, process.env.MK_WEBHOOK_SECRET!);
if (!ok) return new Response("bad signature", { status: 401 });

const email = JSON.parse(raw);
// Route into Slack: open a ticket, create a task, store a record
await routeIntoName(email); // email.from · email.subject · email.text
