This project has a pattern just like that to handle the inbound USPS information:

I think it would be pretty easy to extend to support other types of inbound email.
Also I work for Val Town, happy to answer any questions.
yeah i actually do handle inbound email! just forgot to include that code in the shared version. the telegram inbound handler shows the rough pattern.
is there a reason you went with telegram and not slack or discord? i was thinking that it could open up a broader channel for communicating with your assistant. i understand you're also just building more of a poc, but curious if you'd thought about that. great work btw :)
