How it runs

This is the brief Whenever builds from. Change any of it in plain words before you publish.

When

Every 15 minutes, fetch the new Gmail messages that do not carry the Gmail label you choose in setup.

Then

  1. Write a two-line summary of what each sender wants.
  2. Save a suggested reply as a Gmail draft on the same thread.
  3. Add that label to the thread so a thread never gets a second draft.
  4. Post the summary and a link to the draft in the Slack channel id you choose in setup.
