Today, I am writing the Build in Public Log #3. Time flies.
This week I worked on two small components of the frontend. And I spend time on the backend to make emails land on the ListenUser's inbox.
Two components I designed this week
Forwarding emails to ListenUser inbox
Our customers will be requested to set up a forwarding rule on their support@company.com
inbox.
They will set the rule to forward their support@company.com
emails to their alloted ListenUser
inbox company@mailer.ListenUser.com
.
I have setup a Postmark webhook that catches the
forwarded email and sends a POST
request to the ListenUser server. I am loving Postmark's
documentation and their API features. Highly recommended if you need to send or receive emails
programmatically.
The next week, I will focus on perfecting the email rendering and reply messages rendering. I want to make sure I handle emails properly as its a critical piece of ListenUser.
If you have been with me since Log #1, you know I encourage you to be a part of my journey by subscribing below. I will send the weekly logs and my learnings to your email inbox.
