POST/v1/inbound

Secret key — sk_… or sk_test_… · Base URL https://api.volanea.com

Store an inbound message, upsert the sender as a contact, and emit email.received (which fans out to webhooks and workflow triggers). Normally called by the SMTP relay's unauthenticated listener, but you can post parsed mail yourself.
