Built · ~10 hours saved per week
Businesses that receive many emails and want to automate responses while keeping human oversight.
This workflow automatically summarizes incoming emails, drafts a response using AI and a knowledge base, and then sends the draft to a human for approval. After approval, the workflow sends the email response. This makes sure important emails get fast, smart replies, but a person still checks them.
You must connect your IMAP email, an OpenAI account for AI services, Qdrant for a knowledge base, and a Gmail account for sending approval drafts. You also need to create a Qdrant vector database with your company information.
