AI agents for n8n
The identity and email layer for AI agents inside n8n. Each agent gets its own inbox, triggers on real inbound events, and keeps thread IDs for reply matching.
The problem
n8n Gmail Trigger starts on Message Received at a configured Poll Time, so inbound lag follows the poll interval instead of a push event.
A shared human Gmail or Outlook credential means the AI Agent node borrows a person mailbox and OAuth tokens that expire.
Resend official n8n node covers send, contacts, templates, and webhooks, and is built to send when an event fires.
Postmark inbound pipes parse mail into JSON for a Webhook Trigger, but leave agent identity and reply ownership elsewhere.
Mailtrap focuses on deliverability for outbound agent mail, not a dedicated agent inbox with its own address and thread IDs.
The solution
AgentMail is the identity and email layer for AI agents running in n8n.
Native n8n node for inbox ops
The partner-verified AgentMail node covers Inbox, Message, Thread, and Webhook create, list, get, send, and reply actions from the canvas.
Programmatic inboxes on demand
Create an inbox per workflow or per client with an API key. No SMTP and no domain setup required to start.
Realtime received, sent, delivered, bounced
Trigger n8n on those events instead of polling a human mailbox. Webhooks and websockets carry the same event stream outside the canvas too.
Thread IDs for reply matching
Get and list threads so an AI Agent node can match a reply to the conversation it started and keep workflow state clean.
What your n8n agents can do
Triage
Inbound triage without Gmail poll lag
A received webhook starts the workflow as soon as mail lands. The agent classifies intent and routes or replies from its own address.
Outreach
Outreach with reply ownership
Send from an agent inbox, store the thread ID, and continue the conversation when the prospect replies to that same address.
HITL
Human-in-the-loop draft review
Draft in the AI Agent node, pause for a human approval step, then send or reply through AgentMail so the inbox stays the agent identity.
Multi-tenant
Multi-tenant inbox pods per client
Spin up an inbox per client workflow and keep threads isolated. Pods separate tenant data when one n8n instance serves many customers.
AgentMail is built to scale.
Redundant infrastructure spanning multiple regions, so a message to your agent lands even when a region does not.
Provision an inbox in milliseconds. Nothing to verify, nothing to wait on.
Typed SDKs, REST endpoints, and webhooks. Your first send goes out the same afternoon.
Wire it up in ten lines
n8n builders use the verified AgentMail node for the same inbox, message, thread, and webhook ops. SDK quickstart at docs.agentmail.to.
