How do I connect Inbox?

Add the Inbox piece to a flow, then authenticate with Basic auth. Once connected, its 6 triggers and 7 actions are available anywhere in the builder.

What can I automate with Inbox?

"New Contact" can start a flow that runs "Add Contact to List", and you can chain Inbox together with any of 760+ other apps and AI steps in between.

Can I self-host the Inbox integration?

Yes. Activepieces is fully self-hostable, so you can run the Inbox piece on your own infrastructure with your connections and your data staying in your environment.

Can my AI agent use Inbox as a tool?

Yes. Every piece you connect can be exposed over one Activepieces MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client can call Inbox actions as tools.
