What it does

Watches a shared Front inbox and prepares a knowledge-grounded draft reply for each new email conversation, sourced from your Notion knowledge base. The draft sits in Front waiting for a human to send.

When to use it

Use this when support runs out of a shared email inbox in Front and your canonical answers live in Notion. It removes the blank-page problem for agents while keeping a mandatory send-time review.

How it works

  1. 1A new conversation lands in the watched Front inbox.
  2. 2The email body is searched against your Notion knowledge base pages.
  3. 3A logic step skips automation for conversations already assigned or tagged as VIP.
  4. 4OpenAI drafts a reply grounded in the retrieved Notion content, matching your inbox tone and citing the source page.
  5. 5The reply is saved as a Front draft on the conversation for the owner to review and send.
