# Auth Inbox 📬
[English](https://github.com/TooonyChen/AuthInbox/blob/main/README.md) | [简体中文](https://github.com/TooonyChen/AuthInbox/blob/main/README_CN.md)
**Auth Inbox** is an open-source project that securely receive and views authentication emails using [Cloudflare](https://cloudflare.com/)'s free serverless services. It automatically processes incoming emails, extracts verification codes or links, and stores them in a database. A user-friendly web interface is provided for administrators to easily review the extracted information. AuthInbox also supports real-time notifications via Bark, making it a comprehensive and hassle-free solution for email authentication management.
Don't wanna receive ads and spams on your main email? Want a bunch of alternative email for register services and websites? Try this **secure**, **serverless**, **light** service!

## AI Prompt Optimization 🧠
To ensure accurate extraction of information from incoming emails, we've implemented AI prompt optimization using the Google AI Studio API. By crafting precise and context-aware prompts, the AI can reliably identify and extract key elements such as:
- **Organization Name (Title)**: Identifies the sender's organization or company.
- **Verification Code/Link**: Extracts codes, links, or passwords necessary for account verification.
- **Email Topic**: Summarizes the main purpose of the email, such as 'account verification' or 'password reset'.
**Prompt:**
```plaintext
Email content: [Insert raw email content here].
Please read the email and extract the following information:
1. Code/Link/Password from the email (if available).
2. Organization name (title) from which the email is sent.
3. A brief summary of the email's topic (e.g., 'account verification').
Format the output as JSON with this structure:
{
"title": "The organization or company that sent the verification code (e.g., 'Netflix')",
"code": "The extracted verification code, link, or password (e.g., '123456' or 'https://example.com/verify?code=123456')",
"topic": "A brief summary of the email's topic (e.g., 'account verification')",
"codeExist": 1
}
If both a code and a link are present, include both in the 'code' field like this:
"code": "code, link"
If there is no code, clickable link, or this is an advertisement email, return:
{
"codeExist": 0
}
```

## Installation ⚙️
0. **Prerequisites**
1. Install [Wrangler](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/get-started/)
```bash
npm install wrangler -g
```
2. Create a [Google AI Studio API](https://aistudio.google.com/)
3. Bind a domain to your [Cloudflare](https://dash.cloudflare.com/) account
4. (Optional) Download the [Bark App](https://bark.day.app/) and get a Bark Token from the App
2. **Initialization**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/TooonyChen/AuthInbox.git
cd AuthInbox
npm install
```
3. **create d1 database**
When you execute the [Wrangler](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/get-started/) login command for the first time, you will be prompted to log in. Just follow the prompts.
```bash
npx wrangler d1 execute inbox-d1 --local --file=./schema.sql # creating a d1 database called 'inbox-d1'
```
you will get the result like this:
```bash
✅ Successfully created DB 'inbox-d1'
[[d1_databases]]
binding = "DB" # available in your Worker on env.DB
database_name = "inbox-d1"
database_id = "<unique-ID-for-your-database>"
```
please copy the result from your terminal, you will use them in the next step
4. **Configure Environment Variables**
Use `wrangler.toml` file in the project root with the necessary environment variables:
```toml
name = "auth-inbox"
type = "typescript"
[vars]
UseBark = "true" # set 'true' to use or 'false' to not use
barkUrl = "https://api.day.app"
barkTokens = "[token1, token2]" # set to your bark tokens on your iOS device, download it from https://bark.day.app/, you can use multiple tokens, if you only use one, then set it to '[token1]'
FrontEndAdminID = "admin" # your login
FrontEndAdminPassword = "password" # your password
GoogleAPIKey = "xxxxxxxxxxx" # your google api, go to https://aistudio.google.com/ to generate one if u dont have
[[d1_databases]] # Copy the lines obtained from step 2 from your terminal.
binding = "DB"
database_name = "inbox-d1" # Copy from step 2
database_id = "<unique-ID-for-your-database>" # Copy from step 2
```
4. **Deploy your own worker** 🌐
Deploy your Worker to make your project accessible on the Internet. Run:
```bash
npx wrangler deploy
```
You will get output like this:
```
Outputs: https://auth-inbox.<YOUR_SUBDOMAIN>.workers.dev
```
You can now visit the URL for your newly depolyed Auth Inbox for checking the email results.
5. **Set Email Forwarding** ✉️
Go to [Cloudflare Dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/) -> `Websites` -> `<your-domain>` -> `Email` -> `Email-Routing` -> `Routing Rules`
if you want to use `catch-all address`:
