Endless Possibilities with Mailtri — Email as Your Automation Surface

Tag: use-cases

TL;DR

Email task@mailtri.com and it becomes an API call. Tasks flow into Linear, docs land in Notion in the right language, summaries turn into publishable blog posts and get pushed to GitHub — and that's just the beginning. Below are dozens of patterns you can use with Mailtri's cloud service.

The pattern: Email to intent

Compose as you normally would, then send to an address like task.linear@mailtri.com or translate.notion@mailtri.com, or simply include structured cues in subject/body (Subject: Create task — Onboarding revamp, #summary, #publish, #fr).

Mailtri's cloud service parses recipient, subject, and body, normalizes the message to a JSON event, and routes it to your configured integrations.

  • Linear inbox zero: Email task.linear@mailtri.com to capture action items into the right team/project with labels from #priority:p1 and #sprint:this.
  • Jira from customer threads: Emails to bug.jira@mailtri.com with #bug become Jira issues including reproduction steps, logs, and attachments.
  • Asana personal triage: Send anything to task.asana@mailtri.com with #due:fri and #area:personal.
  • GitHub Projects: Email task.github@mailtri.com with #task to create follow-up issues linked to PRs.

Composing intents: three idioms

  2. Subject: Subject: Approve — Q4 release, Subject: Create task — Alerts cleanup
  3. Body: #summary, #lang:fr, #due:2025-10-15, #labels:infra,urgent

A few guardrails

  • Determinism first: Prefer explicit intents and idempotent handlers.
  • Security: Verify senders, enforce allowlists, and store artifacts encrypted.
  • Observability: Emit structured logs and metrics so you can trust automations.
