Fastmail Masked Email Automation

• Privacy-Conscious Users: Individuals looking for temporary or disposable email addresses to protect their personal information online.
• Developers and Testers: Those who need to generate multiple email addresses for testing purposes without cluttering their main inbox.
• Businesses: Companies wanting to provide customers with a way to interact without exposing their actual email addresses, enhancing user privacy.
• Marketing Professionals: Marketers who need to create unique email addresses for campaigns or user segmentation without revealing their main email addresses.

This workflow automates the creation of masked email addresses using the Fastmail API, addressing the need for privacy and security in online communications. By generating temporary email addresses, it helps users avoid spam and maintain anonymity while interacting with various online services.

1. Webhook Trigger: The workflow starts when a POST request is sent to the defined webhook URL. Users can include state and description in the request body to customize the masked email.
2. Session Retrieval: An HTTP request is made to the Fastmail API to obtain session information, which is necessary for authenticating subsequent API requests.
3. Field Preparation: The workflow extracts the state and description from the webhook request, defaulting to pending for state and Test via N8n for description if not provided.
4. Masked Email Creation: Using the session data, a POST request is sent to Fastmail's JMAP API to create a new masked email. The request includes the user-defined state and description.
5. Output Preparation: After the masked email is created, the workflow prepares the output by extracting the newly created email address and attaching the description.
6. Response to Webhook: Finally, the workflow responds to the initial POST request with the newly created masked email and its description, ensuring the user receives immediate feedback.
