Deploy and Host Email Agent on Railway

Email Agent is an AI-powered email processing system that automatically receives, stores, and analyzes incoming emails through webhooks.

You will need an email sending service that supports inbound email webhooks.

It features secure authentication, rate limiting, and a clean dashboard interface for viewing processed emails.

About Hosting Email Agent

Hosting Email Agent involves deploying a full-stack application with webhook capabilities for real-time email processing. The system requires a web server to handle API endpoints, a SQLite database for message storage, and proper security configurations for authentication and rate limiting. Railway simplifies this deployment by providing managed infrastructure that automatically handles scaling, SSL certificates, and environment configuration.
