<p>In this example, we want to parse all emails at <em>address</em>@email.sendgrid.biz and post the parsed email to http://sendgrid.biz/parse . We will be using Node and the Express framework.</p>

<p>Given this scenario, the following are the parameters you would set at the <a href="http://sendgrid.com/developer/reply">Parse API settings page</a>:</p>

{% codeblock %}

Hostname: email.sendgrid.biz

{% endcodeblock %}

{% codeblock %}

URL: http://sendgrid.biz/parse

{% endcodeblock %}

To test this scenario, we sent an email to [email protected] and created the following code:

{% codeblock lang:javascript %}

var express = require('express');

var app = express();

var server = require('http').createServer(app)

/****** CONFIGURE EXPRESS ******/

app.configure(function(){

        app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000);

        app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');

        app.use(express.logger('dev'));

        app.use(express.bodyParser());

        app.use(express.methodOverride());

        app.use(app.router);

        app.use( express.static(__dirname + '/public') );

});

app.post('/parse', function (req, res) {

        var from = req.body.from;

var text = req.body.text;

var subject = req.body.subject

var num_attachments = req.body.attachments

}

server.listen(app.get('port'), function(){

  console.log("Express server listening on port %d in %s mode", app.get('port'), app.settings.env);

});

{% endcodeblock %}
