Mailhook, MongoDB and Slack: Vendor Alert Capture Template

When a vendor outage email hits a mailhook address, this Spojit template stores the parsed alert in MongoDB and posts a summary to your on-call Slack channel.

What It Builds

A Mailhook trigger gives you a unique Spojit email address you point vendor status notifications at. Each inbound message starts a run that captures the alert with an Agent-mode Connector node, writes a structured record to your MongoDB collection with a Connector node, and posts a short summary to your on-call Slack channel with another Connector node. The result is a searchable history of every vendor incident plus an instant heads-up for the people who need it.

The Prompt

Paste this into Miraxa, the intelligent layer across your automation, and it builds the workflow, connecting the tools for you:

Build a workflow that triggers on a Mailhook when a vendor outage email arrives. Use an Agent-mode Connector node to pull the vendor name, severity, affected service, and a one-line summary from the email subject and body. Insert that as a document into the "vendor_alerts" collection in MongoDB along with the received time and the original subject. Then post a message to the #on-call Slack channel with the vendor name, severity, affected service, and summary.

Connectors Used

Mailhook (trigger) - generates a unique @mailhook.spojit.com address; any mail to it starts a run within seconds. No mailbox or OAuth needed.
MongoDB - stores the parsed alert as a document via insert-documents.
Slack - posts the summary to your on-call channel via send-message.

Customize It

Swap #on-call for your real channel, and rename the vendor_alerts collection to match your database. Tighten the trigger by adding a From allowlist or Subject regex on the Mailhook so only genuine vendor status mail fires a run. You can also ask the agent to grade severity into your own labels (for example P1, P2, P3) so Slack messages and stored records stay consistent.

Tips

The alert extraction needs judgment, so keep that node in Agent mode with a Response Schema for clean JSON; keep the MongoDB write and the Slack post in Direct mode so they stay deterministic and cost no AI credits.
Use lookup-user-by-email on the Slack connector first if you want to direct-message the on-call person instead of, or alongside, the channel.
Vendor emails fire whether the address is in To, Cc, or Bcc, so a single forwarding rule on your shared inbox can feed the mailhook reliably.
