What it does

This agent-driven workflow takes the pile of external emails that have already breached their response SLA and does the hard part: it reads each thread, writes a short why-it-matters summary, and drafts a tailored catch-up reply that acknowledges the delay and moves the conversation forward. The drafts and summaries land in a Slack digest for the owner to approve and send.

When to use it

Use it when overdue threads have piled up and owners need help clearing the backlog quickly with quality, on-brand replies rather than copy-paste apologies.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule triggers the agent to gather Gmail threads flagged as SLA-breached.
  2. 2The agent reads each thread's full context and intent.
  3. 3A logic step prioritizes threads by sender importance and how overdue they are.
  4. 4The agent drafts a context-aware catch-up reply and a one-line summary per thread.
  5. 5It posts a Slack digest of prioritized threads with summaries and approve-to-send drafts to the owner.
