# Integrations

> Connect Manapool and set up TCGPlayer email ingestion

Go to **Settings > Integrations** to connect external services to CardOps.

## Manapool

CardOps integrates directly with Manapool via their API. Orders sync automatically, and new orders trigger a webhook that adds them to CardOps in real time.

### Setup

1. Go to your [Manapool API settings](https://manapool.com/seller/integrations/manapool-api) to find your API key
2. In CardOps, go to **Settings > Integrations > Manapool**
3. Enter your Manapool email and API key
4. Click **Connect**

<Note>
  Your Manapool API key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM in the CardOps database. It is never stored in plain text.
</Note>

### What syncs

Once connected, CardOps pulls all of your existing Manapool order data automatically. Going forward, new orders trigger a webhook that creates the order in CardOps immediately.

<Note>
  Manapool payouts are not available through the API. To get payout data automatically, set up email forwarding for Manapool payout notifications as described below.
</Note>

## CardOps Inbound Email

TCGPlayer does not offer a public API, so CardOps uses a novel approach: **email ingestion**. By forwarding your TCGPlayer notification emails (and Manapool payout emails) to a CardOps-managed address, the system extracts order and payout data automatically.

This is also how you get Manapool payout data into CardOps — since payouts don't come through the API, forwarding the payout notification emails lets CardOps reconcile payouts for you.

### Setup

1. Go to **Settings > Integrations > Inbound Email**
2. Copy your unique inbound email address (it looks like `your-shop-name@mail.cardops.io`)
3. Set up forwarding rules in your email provider — see [Email Forwarding Setup](/email-forwarding-setup) for step-by-step instructions for Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and more

<Note>
  Your inbound email address is based on your shop name, but changing your shop name in **Settings > Account** will **not** change your email address. If you'd like a new address that matches your updated shop name, reach out to the admin team on Discord.
</Note>

### What we extract

The data available from email ingestion is limited compared to a direct API integration:

* **What we get:** individual line items (product name and quantity), order total, order number
* **What we don't get:** shipping costs, individual line item prices, fee breakdowns

This creates a good placeholder order that you can go back and populate with full details later. Orders created from email ingestion are marked accordingly so you know which ones need additional data.

### What gets forwarded

You should forward three types of notifications:

| Platform      | Notification           | Why                                             |
| ------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **TCGPlayer** | New order              | Creates placeholder orders in CardOps           |
| **TCGPlayer** | Payout / Bank Transfer | Tracks TCGPlayer payouts                        |
| **Manapool**  | Payout                 | Tracks Manapool payouts (not available via API) |

<Warning>
  You have **one inbound email address** and a limited number of emails that can be processed. Configure your forwarding rules carefully to make sure only the right notifications are forwarded. See [Email Forwarding Setup](/email-forwarding-setup) for the exact sender and subject criteria to use.
