Introducing Global Streams: Simplified Email Management Across All Providers

We’re thrilled to announce a powerful new feature that makes managing emails across multiple providers easier than ever: Global Streams.

What are Global Streams?

Global Streams are a new type of stream that automatically receives emails from all active providers in your account. Instead of manually configuring which providers send to which streams, you can now have a single stream that captures everything.

Key Benefits:

Automatic Provider Management

Consistent Behavior

Seamless Integration

How It Works

When you create a new account, Sunnybox automatically creates a global stream for you. This stream:

  1. Monitors all providers - Any active email provider in your account automatically sends emails to this stream
  2. Updates dynamically - When you activate a new provider, it’s instantly added to the global stream
  3. Maintains consistency - The stream’s name and description are fixed to prevent confusion

UI Enhancements

We’ve also improved the Streams interface to make global streams easy to identify and manage:

API Updates

The Sunnybox API has been updated to version 1.4.2 with full support for global streams:

{
  "stream_type": "global",
  "name": "All Emails",
  "description": "Automatically receives emails from all active providers"
}

Global streams cannot be deleted via API, returning a 422 error with a clear message if attempted.

Migration for Existing Accounts

Don’t worry if you have existing accounts - we’ve got you covered! Our migration process will automatically create global streams for all existing accounts and connect their active providers.

What’s Next?

Global Streams are part of our ongoing effort to make email management more intelligent and automated. By reducing manual configuration, we’re freeing you up to focus on what matters: building great applications with email data.

This feature sets the stage for more intelligent email routing and processing features coming soon. Stay tuned!

Get Started

Global Streams are available now for all accounts. New accounts will automatically have them, and existing accounts will receive them through our migration process.

Questions or feedback? We’d love to hear from you!
