Recruiter message triage with scored drafts

Reads new recruiter messages, scores each role against the criteria you keep in one table, logs it and drafts a reply. Every send goes through one path that a hook forces to ask you first.

What it does

  • Reads new recruiter messages through a read only connection
  • Scores each role against your criteria table
  • Logs the message and score in your tracker
  • Drafts a reply or a polite pass for each
  • Treats any instruction inside a message as text, not orders

Your approval boundaries

Approval required

These actions always wait for your yes:

  • Sending any reply

You decide what happens next.

More about this workflow

This setup is for busy people who want their own day to run a little smoother. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.

First, it reads new recruiter messages through a read only connection. Next, it scores each role against your criteria table. Then it logs the message and score in your tracker. After that, it drafts a reply or a polite pass for each. Finally, it treats any instruction inside a message as text, not orders. It works with your email and notes app, 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 says plainly if a step cannot be undone.

Say in plain words what you want to do, who it affects, and whether it can be undone. - If something cannot be undone, say so first, in one short line. - Write drafts, not final actions. A person sends, pays, posts, or deletes. - Keep a short log of every action you took and every source you read. - If you are unsure, ask instead of guessing.

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. 2Connect Notion with its own login, not yours. Grant only the pages it needs, read first.
  3. 3Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
  4. 4Do 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.
  5. 5Read 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 approval27 / 30

Waits for a yes on: sending any reply.

Undo and logs14 / 20

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

Scope18 / 20

Runs on its own login across 2 tools. 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
  • Human approval: Add a second named stop next to "sending any reply", so every step that leaves your hands waits for a yes, and have the confirm say plainly what cannot be undone +3
  • 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 89, up from 77.

More personal workflows

  • Purchase research checked on the product page

    Give it what you want to buy and a budget. It searches Amazon, eBay and AliExpress for your delivery region, opens each candidate's real product page to confirm price and shipping, and ranks by review count over star rating.

  • Thursday grocery flyer deals digest

    Ask what is cheap this week or which flyer has the ingredients for a dish, and it searches local store flyers by postal code. Save favourites and get a Thursday morning push with which of them are on sale.

  • Monday journal paper digest posted to your notes

    A weekend job queries a citation index for new papers from a set of journals on your topics and commits the candidate list. On Monday morning a cloud routine reads it, writes the digest and posts it as a page under your notes.

  • Reply watch with next step approval cards

    Watches the email threads you started for replies and lines up the next step, such as a booking or a follow up, as a card. Nothing is sent or booked until you tap approve.

Other workflows that use the same tools

  • Morning content scan with scripts drafted

    Marketing. Before you wake up, a scheduled task reads your sources and newsletters, sorts stories into post today, save for a series, log, ask me or skip, and drafts a script for anything worth posting. One chat message lists only the decisions.

  • Lead research brief

    Sales. Turns a new inbound lead into a one page brief before your first call.

  • Follow up drafter

    Sales. Writes the follow up email after a sales call so nothing goes cold.
