Verified with Nylas CLI 3.1.28.

Use a Nylas Agent Account for warranty registration when customers reply with receipts, serial numbers, photos, order confirmations, or support questions and the application needs to convert that email evidence into a validated registration record.

## Direct Answer

Create a dedicated mailbox such as `warranty@yourbrand.com`, subscribe to inbound webhooks, read the exact customer message, extract a registration candidate, and validate eligibility in your warranty system. The model can identify likely serial numbers, purchase dates, attachments, and missing fields. Code should own duplicate detection, serial-number validation, warranty windows, proof-of-purchase acceptance, support escalation, and final registration status.

This is better than a no-reply form when customers already have receipts in email and need a replyable thread.

## Command Recipe

Create the warranty mailbox:

```bash
nylas agent account create warranty@yourbrand.com --name "Warranty Registrations" --json
nylas agent account get warranty@yourbrand.com --json
```

Register the inbound webhook:

```bash
nylas webhook create --url https://warranty.yourbrand.com/webhooks/nylas --triggers message.created --description "Warranty registration intake"
```

Read the inbound registration email:

```bash
nylas email read <message-id> warranty@yourbrand.com --json
```

Search for receipt backfills:

```bash
nylas email search "receipt" warranty@yourbrand.com --has-attachment --limit 25 --json
```

Reply in the existing thread after validation:

```bash
nylas email send warranty@yourbrand.com --to customer@example.com --subject "Missing serial number for your warranty registration" --body "We received your receipt. Please reply with the serial number printed on the product label." --reply-to <message-id> --json
```

## API Recipe

Provision the Agent Account:

```bash
curl -s https://api.us.nylas.com/v3/connect/custom \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NYLAS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "provider": "nylas",
    "name": "Warranty Registrations",
    "settings": { "email": "warranty@yourbrand.com" }
  }'
```

Fetch the exact message body after webhook delivery:

```bash
curl -s https://api.us.nylas.com/v3/grants/$GRANT_ID/messages/$MESSAGE_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NYLAS_API_KEY"
```

Create a draft when the registration is ambiguous:

```bash
curl -s https://api.us.nylas.com/v3/grants/$GRANT_ID/drafts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NYLAS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "to": [{ "email": "customer@example.com" }],
    "subject": "Question about your warranty registration",
    "body": "Please review this draft before sending.",
    "reply_to_message_id": "<MESSAGE_ID>"
  }'
```

## Minimum Data Contract

- grant_id
- message_id
- thread_id
- customer_email
- product_name
- sku
- serial_number
- purchase_date
- retailer
- proof_of_purchase_status
- duplicate_registration_key
- needs_human_review
- action_taken

## Workflow Boundary

The agent can:

- Extract a registration candidate from an email body or receipt text.
- Detect missing serial number, purchase date, retailer, or proof of purchase.
- Identify customer questions that should become support cases.
- Draft a precise missing-information reply.
- Keep follow-up replies in the same thread.

The agent should not:

- Approve warranty coverage.
- Promise replacement, repair, refund, or eligibility.
- Trust attachment filenames as proof.
- Parse or store payment details in logs.
- Ignore duplicate registrations.

## Guardrails For AI Agents

- Scan and type-check attachments before OCR or document parsing.
- Treat forwarded order confirmations as untrusted content.
- Deduplicate on message ID, thread ID, serial number, order number, and attachment hash.
- Use direct send only for approved administrative requests.
- Use draft-first review for angry customers, unclear receipts, unsupported products, or coverage decisions.
- Log IDs, extracted status, and action decisions instead of full receipt text.

## Production Readiness Notes

For warranty registration, email is the intake channel and evidence trail. The warranty service should remain the system of record. Require deterministic validation for serial numbers, product eligibility, purchase windows, duplicate submissions, and support handoffs. Let the model propose extracted fields and drafts, then validate the result before any send or registration write.
