Inbox-Zero Triage: Auto-Label and Draft Routine Replies
Classifies every new Gmail message into action categories, applies the matching label.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
Watches your Gmail inbox and turns each incoming message into a triaged, labeled item. An LLM reads the email, decides whether it needs a reply, an FYI label, or no action, and for the routine stuff (scheduling, intro requests, status pings) it writes a draft reply in your voice. Drafts land in Gmail so nothing sends without your final click.
When to use it
Use it when your inbox fills with predictable, low-stakes messages that each cost a few minutes of context-switching. It is built for an operator who wants to open the inbox once a day and find everything sorted and pre-drafted instead of starting every reply from a blank screen.
How it works
- 1A new email arrives in the connected Gmail inbox and fires the trigger.
- 2OpenAI classifies the message into one of: reply-needed, FYI, or ignore, and extracts the gist.
- 3A branch routes on that category.
- 4For reply-needed routine mail, OpenAI drafts a reply matching prior tone.
- 5The Gmail label for the category is applied to the thread.
- 6The draft is saved to the Gmail thread, left unsent for human review.
