The LeadTruffle Email Gateway lets you forward lead notification emails into the platform so we can extract names, phone numbers, and emails—and follow up automatically. Here’s how to configure it.
📩 Step 1: Add a New Email Gateway Address
Go to Email Gateway in your LeadTruffle dashboard.
Click New Email Address.
You’ll see a few configuration options:
✅ Whitelist (optional but recommended)
Only allow emails from specific addresses.
Example: Whitelist [email protected] to block out spam or internal emails.
🚫 Blacklist (optional)
Block emails from specific senders (e.g., internal alerts or your own address).
🧠 Custom Parser (optional)
Add context to help the AI understand the lead source.
Example: “These are junk removal leads; extract all contact and job details.”
📤 Forwarding Address (optional)
Choose where LeadTruffle should forward the email after processing.
🔑 Step 2: Copy Your Custom LeadTruffle Email Address
Once saved, you’ll get a long custom email (e.g., [email protected]).
This is your inbox within LeadTruffle—forward emails here.
📬 Step 3: Forward a Lead Email
Open a lead email in your regular inbox.
Forward it to your LeadTruffle gateway email.
LeadTruffle will automatically parse it and extract:
Name
Email
Phone
Job Details
Think of it as a virtual assistant reading and logging your lead emails for you.
🔄 Step 4: Automate Email Forwarding
To avoid manually forwarding every email:
In Gmail:
Go to Settings > See all settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
Click Add a forwarding address and paste your LeadTruffle email.
(Optional) Create a filter:
Filter by sender (e.g., [email protected])
Choose “Forward it” to your LeadTruffle inbox.
Every ESP (Email Service Provider) has similar options. Here are guides for popular ones:
Now every new lead email will go directly into LeadTruffle and trigger automated follow-ups—no manual work needed.
