For Human Inboxes, the preferred receive model is smart routing subscriptions.

## Create subscription

```bash
POST /human/v0/webhooks/subscriptions
{
  "human_account_id": "ha_123",
  "target_url": "https://example.com/human-events",
  "event_types": ["message.received"]
}
```

## Process events

Your handler receives human mailbox events with account + message identifiers so you can fetch additional context as needed.

## Fetch relationship context

```bash
GET /human/v0/contacts/{email_address}/relationship
```
