Give your AI agent its own inbox so it can sign itself up

Short summary

A detailed tutorial on using Nylas Agent Accounts to give AI agents their own disposable email inboxes for autonomous signups and OTP verification. Agent Accounts are grant-backed mailboxes created via API without OAuth, supporting standard Nylas endpoints for sending, receiving, and parsing emails. The post includes both curl and CLI examples for provisioning, using, and tearing down per-run mailboxes.

  • Agent Accounts provide disposable, API-provisioned mailboxes without OAuth
  • Supports standard Nylas data-plane endpoints (Messages, Drafts, Threads, etc.)
