# AgentMail Usage Examples Common patterns and use cases for AgentMail in AI agent workflows. ## Basic Agent Email Setup ### 1. Create Agent Identity ```python from agentmail import AgentMail import os client = AgentMail(api_key=os.getenv("AGENTMAIL_API_KEY")) # Create inbox for your agent agent_inbox = client.inboxes.create( username="spike-assistant", display_name="Spike - AI Assistant", client_id="spike-main-inbox" # Prevents duplicates ) print(f"Agent email: {agent_inbox.inbox_id}") # Output: spike-assistant@agentmail.to ``` ### 2. Send Status Updates ```python def send_task_completion(task_name, details, recipient): client.inboxes.messages.send( inbox_id="spike-assistant@agentmail.to", to=recipient, subject=f"Task Completed: {task_name}", text=f"Hello! I've completed the task: {task_name}\n\nDetails:\n{details}\n\nBest regards,\nSpike đŸĻ", html=f"""

Hello!

I've completed the task: {task_name}

Details:

{details.replace(chr(10), '
')}

Best regards,
