Steps
- Create three labels: Needs you, Waiting, FYI.
- The bot reads new email every hour and applies one label each.
- Anything with money, contracts or a direct question goes to Needs you.
- The bot can draft replies but never sends them.
- Once a day, it sends a short list of what is in Needs you.
What worked / what failed
WorkedThree labels were easy to trust. More labels made us second-guess the bot.
WorkedDraft-only meant no accidental sends.
Failed, then fixedThe bot first marked newsletters as Needs you when they asked a question. It now checks if the sender is a real person.
