Uploading Data via Email Attachments

Initial Setup

To set up an inbox:

1. Open any project and navigate to Project Settings > General Settings > Email Inbox.
2. Click Create Inbox.

This will generate a unique email address for your application. You can send emails with attachments to this address, and they will appear as jobs in the work queue.

Inbox Verification

To verify the inbox:

1. Click the Send Verification Request button.
2. Wait a few seconds, as the setup may take some time. If the inbox doesn’t appear verified immediately, wait and try again.

Once verified, you can start sending emails to the generated email address. Any valid attachments will be processed automatically.
