Mailhook to MongoDB: Emailed JSON Export Loader Template

A Mailhook trigger catches an emailed JSON export, parses it with the json connector, and loads the records into a MongoDB collection.

What It Builds

This template starts with a Mailhook trigger, so any system that can email a JSON export to a Spojit address kicks off a run. An Attachment node fetches the attached file, the json connector parses it into records, and a Connector node on the mongodb connector inserts those records into your collection. The result is a hands-off loader that turns scheduled data emails into rows in MongoDB.

The Prompt

Paste this into Miraxa and it builds the workflow, connecting the tools for you:

Build a workflow that triggers on a Mailhook when an email arrives with a JSON file attached. Fetch the attachment, parse the JSON into a list of records, then insert those records into my "exports" collection in MongoDB.

Connectors Used

  • Mailhook trigger - receives the inbound email and exposes its attachments.
  • Attachment node - fetches the bytes of the attached JSON file.
  • json - parses the file contents into structured records.
  • mongodb - inserts the records into your target collection.

Customize It

Change the collection name in the prompt to match your database, and add a *.json filename pattern or a From allowlist if more than one kind of email hits the address. If each export holds many records, ask Miraxa to upsert on a key field so re-sends update rows instead of duplicating them.

Tips

  • The Attachment node only saves on a Mailhook workflow, so keep the trigger as Mailhook.
  • Use the json connector's validate action before insert if upstream files are sometimes malformed.
  • A Direct-mode Connector node on mongodb keeps the insert deterministic and free of AI cost.
