Email for your agents
Your agent has an inbox.
Give any Cotera agent an address of its own. Forward it a lead, a bug report, or an intro thread. It reads the message, does the work, and answers where the work belongs.
Included with every Cotera workspace. No inbox to build, no polling.
What the agent reaches for once the mail lands
Why email
Everybody already has your address.
No seat to provision, no app to install, no integration to build. Email is the one protocol every person and every system you deal with already speaks.
Nobody needs a login
Customers, vendors, candidates, and partners will never have a seat in your tools. Every one of them can send mail.
Nothing needs an integration
If a system can email you, it can start a run. That covers the long tail nothing ships a webhook for.
Forwarding is already the habit
Your team forwards these threads to a colleague today. Now the colleague reads it and does the work.
Capabilities
An address in front of the whole platform.
Not a mailbox to poll. A real address, wired to 100+ tool integrations and the durable execution engine everything else on Cotera runs on.
An address of its own
Add an email trigger and Cotera mints the address, with a random suffix that keeps it unguessable.
The message is the input
Sender, subject, both bodies, attachment names, and the SPF and DKIM results, normalized into one payload. Bind any field downstream.
Forward, CC, or BCC it
Recipients come from the SMTP envelope, not the visible To: header, so a BCC still starts the run.
One message, one run
A redelivery of the same message is skipped, so a flaky hop upstream never means two deals or two tickets.
Answer wherever the work belongs
The agent that read the email need not reply by it. Write the CRM record, post to Slack, answer the thread.
Test before you hand it out
Fire a sample payload from the editor and watch the run end to end, before the address reaches a customer.
Send it something
One forward. A whole run.
Five things teams forward to an agent every day, and the nodes each one sets off.

Runs
Ready-made agents
Put an address on an agent that already works.
Every agent in the library takes an email trigger. These three are what teams reach for first, because forwarding is already what they were doing by hand.
How it works
Three steps to an agent you can email.
Start with an agent
Describe one in plain English, or take a ready-made agent from the library. Nothing about it needs to change.
Add an email trigger
Click Add trigger, choose Email. Cotera mints the address and shows it on the card, ready to copy.
Send it something
Mail it, forward a thread, or set an inbox rule so anything matching a filter reaches it automatically.
Full setup, the payload it receives, and what every field is for are in the docs.
Agents are powered by large language models and may occasionally produce inaccurate responses. Always verify important information before acting on it. Cotera does not use the email you send to a trigger to train AI models. Messages are processed within your Cotera organization and are subject to Cotera's privacy policy.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
Ready to build?
Stop duct-taping tools.
Stop writing playbooks no one follows.
Start building agents that actually do the work—and do it well.
