Scope

Create the webhook endpoint for receiving Resend inbound emails and the client for fetching email content.

Webhook Endpoint

  • POST /api/webhooks/resend/inbound (public, no JWT auth)
  • rawBody: true config for signature verification
  • Verify signature via resend.webhooks.verify()
  • Idempotency check: reject if email_id already exists in queue
  • Insert email_ingestion_queue row with status=pending
  • Return 200 immediately
  • Trigger async processing via setImmediate()

Resend Inbound Client

  • ResendInboundClient class in external/resend-inbound.client.ts
  • getEmail(emailId): Call resend.emails.receiving.get() to get raw.download_url
  • downloadRawEmail(downloadUrl): Download raw RFC 5322 email
  • parseEmail(rawEmail): Parse with mailparser to extract body text/html + attachments

Route Registration

  • Register in app.ts alongside existing webhook routes
  • Follow Stripe webhook pattern (no preHandler auth)

Environment

  • RESEND_WEBHOOK_SECRET env var for signature verification

Files

  • backend/src/features/email-ingestion/api/email-ingestion.routes.ts
  • backend/src/features/email-ingestion/api/email-ingestion.controller.ts
  • backend/src/features/email-ingestion/external/resend-inbound.client.ts
  • backend/src/features/email-ingestion/index.ts

Dependencies

  • mailparser + @types/mailparser

Acceptance Criteria

  • Webhook endpoint receives and verifies Resend signatures
  • Invalid signatures return 400
  • Duplicate email_ids are rejected (idempotent)
  • Raw email is fetched and parsed into body + attachments
  • 200 returned before processing begins

Milestone: Resend Inbound Webhook Endpoint and Client

Phase: Execution | Agent: Developer | Status: PASS

Completed

Webhook Endpoint (POST /api/webhooks/resend/inbound):

  • Public endpoint (no JWT auth), rawBody enabled for signature verification
  • Svix-based signature verification using svix-id, svix-timestamp, svix-signature headers
  • Idempotency check: rejects duplicate email_id entries
  • Inserts email_ingestion_queue row with status=pending
  • Returns 200 immediately, triggers async processing via setImmediate()
  • Follows Stripe webhook route pattern

ResendInboundClient (external/resend-inbound.client.ts):

  • verifyWebhookSignature(): Svix webhook verification
  • getEmail(emailId): Fetches email metadata from Resend API
  • downloadRawEmail(downloadUrl): Downloads raw RFC 5322 email content
  • parseEmail(rawEmail): Parses with mailparser into text/html + attachments

Config (config-loader.ts):

  • Added resend_webhook_secret (optional) to secrets schema
  • Added getResendConfig() convenience accessor
  • Environment variable RESEND_WEBHOOK_SECRET set from secret file

Route Registration (app.ts):

  • Registered emailIngestionWebhookRoutes alongside Stripe webhooks
  • Added email-ingestion to health check feature list

Dependencies:

  • mailparser + @types/mailparser for RFC 5322 parsing
  • svix for Resend webhook signature verification

Validation

  • TypeScript type-check: PASS
  • ESLint: PASS (0 errors, 3 warnings - standard any type warnings matching existing patterns)
  • Tests: All 142 tests pass (pre-existing integration test failures unrelated to changes)

Files Changed

  • backend/src/features/email-ingestion/api/email-ingestion.routes.ts (new)
  • backend/src/features/email-ingestion/api/email-ingestion.controller.ts (new)
  • backend/src/features/email-ingestion/external/resend-inbound.client.ts (new)
  • backend/src/features/email-ingestion/index.ts (new)
  • backend/src/app.ts (modified - route registration)
  • backend/src/core/config/config-loader.ts (modified - resend webhook secret)
  • backend/package.json (modified - new dependencies)

Verdict: PASS | Next: Async processing pipeline (sender validation, OCR, record creation)
