Email to save: capture from any app via save@capturedit.app

Not everything happens in a browser or a capture app. Newsletters arrive by email. Colleagues forward PDFs. You find a link in Slack and want it in your library. Email-to-save gives you a single address — save@capturedit.app — that accepts captures from anywhere email works.

How it works

1. Send an email to save@capturedit.app from your registered CapturedIt account email
2. CapturedIt processes the email and creates library items
3. AI generates summaries and categories for each capture
4. Items appear in your timeline alongside everything else

Only emails from addresses linked to your CapturedIt account are accepted. This prevents spam and unauthorized captures.

What you can send

• URLs in the body: Each link becomes a separate capture with AI processing
• Plain text: The email body becomes a note capture
• Attachments: PDFs, images, and other files are saved as file captures
• Forwarded emails: Forward a newsletter or thread; links and text are extracted
• Bulk imports: Attach a Pocket HTML export or converted Evernote files for batch import

Common workflows

Newsletter triage

Forward interesting newsletters to save@capturedit.app instead of letting them pile up in your inbox. AI summarizes each so you can scan your library instead of re-reading full emails.

Mobile capture from any app

On iOS or Android, use the system share sheet → Mail → save@capturedit.app when an app does not support direct sharing to CapturedIt. Less elegant than the native share target, but works everywhere email does.

Automation hooks

Services like Zapier, IFTTT, or Shortcuts can send email on triggers — new RSS items, starred Slack messages, form submissions. Email-to-save acts as a simple integration endpoint without writing API code. For programmatic access, the Context Hub API is more flexible (Vault plan).

Migration imports

Email your Pocket HTML export or converted notebook files as attachments. Each link or note in the file is imported with AI processing. See Pocket import guide for details.

Tips

• Use a descriptive subject line — it becomes the capture title
• One topic per email keeps your library organized
• Large attachments count toward your storage limits
• Each AI-processed item uses one AI credit on Starter (10/month)
