# EmailConnect.eu

> Email-in → signed-webhook-out trigger layer for agents and automations. 100% EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant inbound email-to-webhook processing: forward email to an alias, get structured JSON at your endpoint. Fire-and-forget — no mailbox access, no outbound sending.

EmailConnect converts incoming emails into structured JSON webhooks. It is purpose-built for inbound email processing — no outbound sending, no AI interpretation, no US infrastructure. Forward specific emails to an alias, and EmailConnect parses them into a rich payload (text, HTML, markdown, attachments, authentication results, spam scores, classification) and delivers it to your webhook. For agents and automations, the integration path is a scoped API key plus three REST calls — see [For agents & automation](https://emailconnect.eu/integrations/agents/).

The service runs entirely on EU infrastructure (Hetzner in Germany, Scaleway in the Netherlands) with the company headquartered in Leiden, Netherlands (incorporated in Amsterdam). It follows a Unix philosophy: do one thing well — deliver clean, structured email data so you can build your own automation on top.
