EmailConnect
Inbound email to webhooks from the Netherlands
NetherlandsEUEU hostedFree plan♻ Ownership reviewed, controller unresolvedScope verdict
Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved
The legal notice identifies XADI, KvK 91939267, and representative Xander Groesbeek; the terms identify XADI as the service owner. A current legal-form or ownership record is still needed to establish ultimate control.
EmailConnect receives email for your domains and turns it into structured JSON for webhook workflows. It parses message content and attachments, with storage and routing options that vary by plan. It is an inbound processing service, rather than a general outbound SMTP relay.
The Dutch operator is XADI, represented by founder Xander Groesbeek. Its privacy policy places primary servers and databases at Hetzner in Germany and lists Scaleway for attachment storage. The reviewed sources identify the business and founder but do not establish XADI's ultimate ownership.
Pricing
Free includes 100 inbound emails per month, one custom domain and three aliases. Maker costs 12.95 EUR/month for 1,500 emails; Business costs 49 EUR/month for 10,000. These displayed prices include 21% VAT, with different treatment for eligible businesses. Platform has custom pricing; paid overages and advanced features depend on plan.
