Mailhook and Resend: Auto-Acknowledge Inbound Email Template
A Spojit workflow that catches a forwarded customer email and instantly replies with a branded acknowledgement sent from your own domain through Resend.
What It Builds
A Mailhook trigger gives you a unique Spojit address you forward customer mail to. The moment a message arrives, the workflow reads the sender, subject, and reply-to, then a Connector node on the Resend connector uses send-email to fire back a same-minute acknowledgement from your verified domain. The reply goes to {{ input.replyTo }} so the original sender always gets a confirmation that you received their message, even before a human looks at the inbox.
The Prompt
Paste this into Miraxa and it builds the workflow, connecting the tools for you:
Build a workflow that triggers on a Mailhook address. When a customer email arrives, send an acknowledgement email back to the sender from my verified domain using the Resend connector. The reply subject should be "Re: {{ input.subject }}" and the body should thank them by referencing their message, confirm we received it, and tell them we will respond within one business day. Send it to {{ input.replyTo }}.
Connectors Used
- Mailhook trigger - generates a unique
@mailhook.spojit.comaddress you point customer mail at; fires a run within seconds of each message. - Resend connector - sends the branded acknowledgement from your own verified domain with the
send-emailtool.
Customize It
Change the body wording in the prompt to match your brand voice and response-time promise (for example "within 2 hours" instead of "one business day"). You can also adjust the subject line, add a signature, or tell Miraxa to set the from-name to your support team. To skip auto-replies on out-of-office bounces or no-reply senders, add a line asking for a Condition node that only sends when {{ input.replyTo }} looks like a real customer address.
Tips
- Verify your sending domain in Resend before going live, otherwise
send-emailwill reject the message. The Resend connection holds the API key for the verified domain. - Keep the Resend node in Direct mode. The reply is a single predictable call, so you avoid AI credit cost and get the same result every time.
- Add a From allowlist or Subject regex on the Mailhook trigger so only genuine forwarded customer mail starts a run and you do not acknowledge spam.
