Message a stream by email
You can send emails to Zulip streams. This can be useful
-
If you have an email that you want to discuss on Zulip
-
For mirroring mailing list traffic
-
For integrating a third-party app that can send emails, but which does not
easily lend itself to a more direct integration
If you're planning on doing this in an automated way, and have some
programming experience, another option is to use our send message
API.
Message a stream by email
-
Go to Your streams.
-
Select a stream.
-
Copy the stream email address under Email address.
-
Send an email to that address.
If you don't see the Email address section, most likely your server
administrator has not configured an
email gateway.
The email subject will become the Zulip topic, and the email body will
become the Zulip message.
Note that it may take up to one minute for the message to show
up in Zulip.
Configuration options
The options below control which parts of the email are included in the
Zulip message. To add a configuration option, add it right before the @
in the email address.
For example, if the stream email address is
general.abcd1234@example.zulipchat.com, you can add the first two options
below by sending email to
general.abcd1234.show-sender.include-footer@example.zulipchat.com instead.
-
.show-sender: Adds From: <Sender email address> to
the top of the Zulip message.
-
.include-footer: By default, Zulip tries to automatically remove some footer
text (like signatures). With this option, Zulip will include all footers.
-
.include-quotes: In many email clients, when you reply to a message
(e.g. a missed message email), a copy of the original message is
automatically added to the bottom of your reply. By default, Zulip tries
to remove that copied message. With this option, Zulip will include it.
