Inbox rules turn your disposable email addresses into automated workflows. Instead of manually checking every temporary inbox, you define conditions and actions once, and DESTROY.NETWORK handles the rest as emails arrive in real time on the edge.

Rules are built around flexible pattern matching. Match on sender addresses, subject lines, body content, or any combination using exact strings, wildcards, or regular expressions. When a message matches, one or more actions fire automatically: forward the email, trigger a webhook, mark it as read, or discard it entirely.

For complex workflows you can chain multiple rules with priority ordering. Higher-priority rules are evaluated first, and you can choose whether processing stops after the first match or continues through the full rule set. This lets you build layered logic. For example, forward all verification codes, send order confirmations to a webhook, and silently discard marketing spam.

Every rule execution is logged so you can review what matched, what actions were taken, and troubleshoot any misfires. Combined with webhooks, inbox rules let you integrate disposable email into CI/CD pipelines, monitoring systems, and business automation platforms without writing a single line of polling code.

Zero-Touch Automation

Rules execute instantly as emails arrive. No polling and no manual intervention. Your workflow runs on autopilot.

Powerful Pattern Matching

Match emails by sender, subject, or body using exact strings, wildcards, or full regular expressions.

Flexible Actions

Forward, discard, mark as read, or label messages automatically. Chain multiple actions per rule for complex workflows.

Webhook Triggers

Fire HTTP webhooks when rules match to integrate disposable email into any external system or automation pipeline.

Rule Engine

  • Pattern matching with exact strings, wildcards, and regular expressions
  • Multiple actions per rule: forward, discard, label, mark read, and webhook
  • Webhook triggers with configurable payloads, retry logic, and timeout handling
  • Priority-based ordering with optional stop-on-match for layered rule sets

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of rules can I create?
You can create rules that match on sender address, subject line, or body content. Each rule can trigger one or more actions: forward the email to another address, fire a webhook, mark the message as read, apply a label, or discard it. Rules are evaluated in priority order as each email arrives.
How many rules can I have per inbox?
Pro plan inboxes support up to 25 rules each. Business plan inboxes support up to 100 rules. Rules are evaluated in priority order and execute in milliseconds, so even large rule sets do not add noticeable latency.
Can rules trigger webhooks?
Yes. Any rule can include a webhook action that sends an HTTP POST to a URL of your choice when the rule matches. The payload includes the full parsed email data (sender, subject, body, and attachments) so your external system receives everything it needs to act.
What pattern matching syntax is supported?
Rules support three matching modes: exact string match for simple comparisons, wildcard patterns using * and ? for flexible matching, and full regular expressions for advanced use cases. You can combine multiple conditions with AND/OR logic within a single rule.
