What it does

  • Finds collaboration emails from the last day by keyword
  • Filters out newsletters and bulk marketing mail
  • Labels each as paid ad, brand sponsorship or other
  • Saves a draft for rate questions, unpaid asks or pure gifts
  • Leaves mixed or unclear emails for you to read

Your approval boundaries

Approval required

These actions always wait for your yes:

  • Sending any reply
  • Quoting a rate the draft did not take from your settings

You decide what happens next.

More about this workflow

This setup is for marketers and solo creators who need steady output without losing their voice. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.

First, it finds collaboration emails from the last day by keyword. Next, it filters out newsletters and bulk marketing mail. Then it labels each as paid ad, brand sponsorship or other. After that, it saves a draft for rate questions, unpaid asks or pure gifts. Finally, it leaves mixed or unclear emails for you to read. It works with your email, each on its own login with limited access.

You get the prep work done and waiting for you. The agent stops and asks for your yes before sending any reply and quoting a rate the draft did not take from your settings, and says plainly if a step cannot be undone.

Run your workflow

Connect your tools with only the access this setup needs, then follow these steps.

Steps

Do these in order. Test on old data before it touches live work.

  1. 1Connect Gmail with its own login, not yours. Grant read-only plus compose (drafts) scopes.
  2. 2Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
  3. 3Do a dry run on old or test data first. Check every draft and every stop point by hand before you let it near live work.
  4. 4Read its log after the first real run. Only widen access once a week of runs looks clean.

Safeguards and trust score

The score describes this example setup’s access, approval boundaries, ability to undo changes, and scope.

Access18 / 30

Can draft things that send or spend, so it sits close to risky actions.

Human approval30 / 30

Waits for a yes on: sending any reply, quoting a rate the draft did not take from your settings.

Undo and logs14 / 20

Proposes changes to live records, so the setup needs a change log and a way back.

Scope20 / 20

Runs on its own login across 1 tool. Fewer connections means a smaller blast radius.

How to raise it

  • Access: Take away its ability to send, post or spend. Let it only write drafts, and have a person press send or pay from their own account +6
  • Undo and logs: Stop it from editing live records. Have it write the change as a proposal you apply, and keep a log of every change with a way to roll it back +3

Do all of these to reach 91, up from 82.
