AgentMail Changelog

Summary

Inboxes now support custom metadata: your own key-value data attached to any inbox. Link an inbox to records in your own system, such as a tenant ID, user ID, or feature flags, and read it back on every inbox response. Build agents that carry your application’s context wherever an inbox goes.

What’s new?

New features:

• Inbox metadata: Attach custom key-value pairs to an inbox. Values may be a string, number, or boolean, with up to 256 keys per inbox.

Changes:

• The Inbox object now includes an optional metadata field, returned on get, list, and create responses.
• POST /v0/inboxes accepts a metadata field to set metadata at creation time.
• PATCH /v0/inboxes/:inbox_id accepts a metadata field. Updates merge into existing metadata: keys you include are added or overwritten, and keys you omit are preserved. Send a key with a null value to remove it, or set metadata to null to clear everything. Each update must include at least one of display_name or metadata.

Use cases

Build agents that:

• Tag each inbox with a tenant or customer ID so you can map inboxes back to your own data model
• Store per-inbox feature flags or routing hints that your agent reads at runtime
• Track lifecycle state, such as an onboarding step or campaign name, directly on the inbox
• Filter and organize a large fleet of inboxes by the attributes that matter to your application
