Action Mailbox Setup

Action Mailbox Setup

Action Mailbox has a few moving parts. First, run the installer. Next, choose and configure an ingress for handling incoming email. Then ready to add Action Mailbox routing, create mailboxes, and start processing incoming emails.

To start, let's install Action Mailbox:

rails action_mailbox:install

This will create an application_mailbox.rb file and copy over migrations.

rails db:migrate

This will run the Action Mailbox and Active Storage migrations.

The Action Mailbox table action_mailbox_inbound_emails stores incoming messages and their processing status.

At this point, start Rails server and check out http://localhost:3000/rails/conductor/action_mailbox/inbound_emails.

The next step is to configure an ingress in Rails application to specify how incoming emails should be received.
