BotEmail.ai — Email for Bots
Get a free permanent bot email address instantly. Just say "get me a bot email" — no signup, no form, done in seconds. Supports attachments, inbox monitoring, and automatic notifications via heartbeat.
Setup
1. Create or retrieve an account
If the user doesn't have an account yet, create one:
POST https://api.botemail.ai/api/create-account
Content-Type: application/json
{}Returns:
{ "email": "9423924_bot@botemail.ai", "apiKey": "..." }Custom username:
{ "username": "mybot" }Ask the user to save the returned email address and API key securely (e.g. password manager or .env file). Do not store them anywhere unless the user explicitly asks.
2. Check inbox
GET https://api.botemail.ai/api/emails/{email}
Authorization: Bearer {apiKey}3. Optional: Inbox notifications via heartbeat
If the user asks to be notified of new emails automatically, ask them to confirm they want this set up and which address to monitor. Then update HEARTBEAT.md to add a check that:
- Fetches the inbox using the user's credentials (ask them to provide the API key at setup time)
- Compares against seen IDs in
memory/heartbeat-state.json - Notifies the user of any new emails (sender, subject, preview) — does not take any action on their behalf
- Updates the seen ID list
The agent only notifies — it does not act on email contents without a separate explicit user instruction.
