Cofounder Docs
Inbox
Set up Agentmail inbox domains, provision inboxes for agents, and let agents work over email.
Inbox
Use Settings > Inbox to give custom agents their own email addresses.
This setup uses Agentmail.
Start With A Domain
Before you can provision an agent inbox, you need a domain first.
Start in Settings > Domains to buy a domain from Cofounder, import one, or transfer one in.
After that, go to Settings > Inbox and choose which domain should be used for agent inboxes.
Inbox Domain Setup Takes Time
Inbox domain setup is not instant.
After domain or nameserver changes, Agentmail still needs time to provision and verify the inbox domain. During that window, the inbox domain can show as pending or still checking setup.
Provision An Inbox For An Agent
Once an inbox domain is ready, you can provision an inbox for a custom agent.
In Settings > Inbox, pick the agent, choose the inbox-ready domain, set the inbox handle, and provision the inbox.
That gives the agent its own email address on your domain.
What Happens After Provisioning
When an inbox is provisioned for an agent:
- Cofounder creates the inbox for that agent
- the agent automatically gets an Agentmail email trigger for new incoming mail
- the agent can send and receive email through that inbox
You can still change the agent's trigger behavior later from that agent's schedules and triggers setup.
What Inbox Settings Control
Inbox settings let you manage:
- which domains are available for agent inboxes
- which agent gets which inbox address
- the inbox handle and display name
- whether that inbox is enabled
Disabled inboxes still exist, but they stop processing incoming email.
