About this automation

E2a is an open-source email gateway designed for AI agent systems. It provides email threading aligned with agent conversation state, human-in-the-loop review for outbound emails, quick agent email onboarding/offboarding, and dual delivery modes (websocket for local agents, webhook for cloud agents). This automation covers integrating E2a into an existing agent system to handle email-triggered workflows.

How to implement

1

Deploy E2a (self-hosted or use e2a.dev hosted service)

2

Configure SPF/DKIM email authentication for your domain

3

Set up webhook endpoints or websocket connections in your agent system

4

Map incoming emails to agent triggers and conversation threads

5

Enable human review queue for outbound agent emails before delivery

6

Test email onboarding/offboarding for agent addresses

7

Monitor webhook delivery and thread consistency
