Attraction Mailbox - Why I love Action Mailbox
summary
Action Mailbox routes inbound mail to controller‑like mailboxes, creates an inbound-email record and enqueues processing with Active Job, and saves the raw data as an Active Storage attachment. Examples include parsing PDF attachments into models, an email‑to‑SMS webhook, an OpenAI wrapper, and a live demo that started my truck via an undocumented API — it works. Setup is two generators for ~80% of the work. Watch out for Active Storage URL options in jobs, choose S3 over disk, use a subdomain, and enable auto‑incineration.
