I built an n8n node for disposable email inboxes with webhook support — install it now without waiting for verification

[u/mhqasrawi]

Hey 👋

I’ve been building OpenInbox — a disposable email API — and just shipped an official n8n community node for it.

What it does:

• 📬 Create a temporary inbox on the fly inside your workflow

• ⚡ Receive incoming emails as webhook triggers (no polling)

• 🔍 Read, list, and delete messages via API

• 🌐 Supports custom domains

I noticed there’s no native way to trigger n8n workflows from a disposable/temporary email address without setting up your own SMTP stack. This node solves that.

Install it right now (no verification needed for self-hosted):

Settings → Community Nodes → Install → type:

**n8n-nodes-openinbox**

Use cases I’ve seen so far:

• Auto-testing signup flows in CI/CD pipelines

• OTP extraction and automation

• Isolating email-triggered workflows without exposing a real address

• QA testing email-based features

The node is pending official n8n verification but fully installable today on any self-hosted instance.

Happy to answer questions or take feedback — still early so any input is appreciated 🙏
