Email to Flow

You can run any viaSocket flow simply by sending an email.

How It Works

  • Every flow has a unique email address.

  • Whenever an email is sent to that address, the flow runs automatically.


Find Your Flow’s Email Address

You can get your Flow ID in two ways:

If you already have a flow

  1. Open your flow in viaSocket.

  2. Check the browser URL.

If you are creating a new flow

  1. Go to viaSocket → Create New Flow → Start from Scratch.

  2. In Select Trigger, choose Webhook — this allows the flow to receive emails.

  3. Check the browser URL.

Example URL:
/workflow/sdrin1mq6soE/
Your Flow ID is the part after /workflow/sdrin1mq6soE.

Add @sokt.io to it: [email protected]

This is your unique flow email address.

Send any email to your flow’s email address and it will be visible in your flow history.



Mail Forwarding Confirmation (only when using auto-forwarding)

If you add your flow’s email address as a forwarding address in your email provider, you must approve the confirmation.

  1. Open your Flow History in viaSocket.

  2. In the first webhook entry, you’ll see the confirmation link.

  3. Click the link (or paste it into your browser) to approve.

After approval, forwarded emails will start reaching your flow normally.


Now parse data from your email content

  • Add the AI step in your flow.

  • AI can read emails, understand the content, extract information, summarize, classify, or take actions.

  • You can train the AI to handle specific types of emails automatically.
