Customer setup guide

Wire your website contact form to ReplyAI. After setup, every submission triggers an AI reply to the visitor and an instant alert to your inbox.

1. API endpoint

POST JSON to:

/inbound-email

2. Request body

{
  "from_email": "[email protected]",
  "subject": "Website inquiry",
  "body": "Name: Jane\nEmail: [email protected]\n\nHi, I need a quote for..."
}

3. JavaScript (recommended)

Map your form fields to from_email, subject, and body (same as the homepage demo).

5. Response

HTTP 201 with JSON including id, analysis, and auto_reply (when the message is a real inquiry and mail is configured).

6. Hosted SaaS (Starter / Pro)

We run the server — you only point your form to your assigned API base URL.
Ensure the visitor email field maps to from_email.

7. Self-hosted (Source License)

Deploy the full Node.js repo on Render, VPS, etc.
Copy .env.example → .env and set OPENAI_API_KEY, RESEND_API_KEY, RESEND_FROM, OWNER_NOTIFY_EMAIL.
Health check: GET /health → {"ok":true}

8. Quick test

Use the live demo on the homepage or send a POST with curl:
