Giving your Grok bot an email and a credit card: webhook routines that buy things on Amazon
jeff_weinstein · x · 2026-09-03
Riley Brown demos what he calls Grok's most underappreciated feature: webhook triggers for bot routines. By giving the bot its own email address (AgentMail) and a credit card (Stripe Link), the bot auto-runs whenever an email arrives — you can forward it mail, CC it on threads, and it can even purchase items on Amazon autonomously.
The video is a full tutorial with timestamps: creating the GrokBot, setting up the AgentMail plugin and email webhooks, wiring up Stripe Link, and a live test of buying from Amazon via email. Total setup time: about 5 minutes.
