Inbound Parse


Twilio SendGrid's Inbound Parse Webhook lets you receive emails that Twilio SendGrid automatically breaks apart and sends to a URL of your choosing. Twilio SendGrid grabs the content, attachments, and headers from any email it receives for your specified hostname. For more information about how to handle the parsed data Twilio SendGrid sends you, see Setting up the Inbound Parse Webhook.

You can see all of your hostname and URL pairs that you have set up in the table on the main Inbound Parse page(link takes you to an external page). From there, you can use the gear icon on the right side of each pair to remove and edit the Inbound Parse Webhook settings.


The Inbound Parse Webhook requires a hostname, where the emails will be sent, and the URL where SendGrid will POST the data it builds from every incoming email.

Host Name - The domain where you have pointed an MX Record so addresses at this hostname can receive email. For example: parse.example.com.

When entering your host name (also referred to as the receiving domain), the subdomain-domain combination must be globally unique, and the domain must be one of your authenticated domains.

URL - The URL for the Inbound Parse Webhook to POST all parsed email information.

Spam Check - Inbound Parse will check incoming emails for spam, then assign them a spam score and report. This will be reflected under spam_score and spam_report in your Parse Webhook post. The user can then determine how this score is interpreted and the severity.

Send Raw - Select this option if you would prefer to receive the full MIME message.


To manage Inbound Parse Webhook settings programmatically, see the Inbound Parse Webhook API reference.
