Email Gateway

The email gateway allows posting new notes via email. It's intended for mobile devices without any other clients. Once you verify your email address, you'll also be able to receive your notes using it.

Sending notes

First, you need to configure your API password if you haven't done so. When sending an email note, make sure the From address matches your registered email, so we can know who you are. Finally, sent your email to post+you_api_password@bynotes.com or p+your_api_password@bynotes.com (see the example at the end of this page).

Replying to notes

Notes delivered to your email address come from p+your_api_password@bynotes.com, so the only thing you need to do is reply to the email and you'll post a reply to the note. You can keep the quoted text and we'll ignore it, but don't alter the subject line!.

Message

Every line in the message body, except for those lines specially interpreted (like your location), until the signature delimiter (---) is reached will be interpreted as your message.

Setting your location

You can optionally set your location by starting a line with the @ symbol followed by the full address. For example, "@ oxford st 18 london uk" or "@sunset blvd beverly hills ca" (omit the quotes).

Attaching a file

If you want to send a file, just attach it to the email. Note that if you attach multiple files, only the first one will be accepted.

Example

Let my email address be and my API password be wacamole:

        From: Alberto García Hierro <>
        To: p+wacamole@bynotes.com

        Hi, I'm here!!!

        @uria 50 oviedo es

        ---
        Regards,
            Alberto

        This email would generate a public note containing the message
        "Hi, I'm here!!!!", geolocated at "uria 50 oviedo es" and with the file
        "Photo1.jpg" attached.
