In this guide, you'll learn how to set up Email as an Inbox Channel.

Step 1: Set up your free Inbox email 

Go to inbox.messagebird.com, tap Settings on the side navigation and select Channels from the sub-navigation. Click Email and hit + Channel. This will take you to the following modal in a new tab.

Step 2: Give your channel a name

Name your channel, make sure it's easily recognizable for yourself and your team. Don't worry, this will only be used internally. For our example, the channel name is Email Amsterdam.

Step 3: Add your domain name

Time to add your domain. Please make sure that you own the domain and have access to its Domain Name System (DNS) record.

Step 4: Add your webhook URL

You have the option to add the URL from which you want to receive webhooks. Keep in mind that this webhook will only be used to receive inbound emails. When you’re finished click Install now.

Step 5: Visit your Inbox channels

And that’s it! 🎉Email is now installed as a channel and set up with Inbox. Head back to your Inbox Channels—you’ll see your new Email channel has been automatically added.
