Node by email

Security covered Under active development 18 sites

This module allows you to create content on your Drupal site by sending an email. Configure a unique email address, and any emails sent to it will automatically create a new node, using the subject for the title and the body for the content. You can also manually create nodes from unseen emails or use a Drush command.

How can I publish if I have limited internet capabilities?

Let’s say you’re on the road, or in a place with limited wifi that won’t allow you to load your full drupal dashboard easily. Or perhaps you’re covering some live news events and want a faster way of posting updates.

node by email is your answer.
Simply type an email on your standard mobile email app or any other email client like Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail, send it to your unique address and done! the node by email will publish it for you.
Node by email provides functionality to create the node by only the sending the
mail to an email id from a defined email id.

For Example:
Receiving email id: [email protected] From Email ID: [email protected]. So the whatever mail is sent by [email protected] to Email ID [email protected] will create a node in Drupal installation. Email must be unseen ie Unread email.

  • Once the node has been created by this module the mail is marked as unseen flagged so that the next time module can skip the mail.
