Use Cases
- Inbox Zero Initiatives: Rapidly triage large volumes of email by applying labels, archiving read threads, and trashing junk in bulk.
- Daily Communication Triage: Use predefined search queries to isolate urgent messages from specific clients or priority threads.
- Automated Workflow Optimization: Set up recurring tasks to flag attachments or follow up on older threads that haven't received a reply.
- Batch Management: Instead of handling emails one by one, use the batch modification tools to move, label, or mark entire subsets of your inbox as read in a single cycle.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, please fetch all my unread emails from '[email protected]' that arrived in the last 7 days and apply the 'High Priority' label to them."
- "I need to get to Inbox Zero. Can you list the 20 oldest messages in my inbox so I can decide what to archive or delete?"
- "Draft a reply to the latest email from the team thread regarding the product launch, thanking them for the update and confirming that I will review the documents by end of day."
Tips & Limitations
- Start with Overview: Always call
GMAIL_FETCH_EMAILSfirst to establish context before performing batch operations. This prevents accidental modifications to unintended threads. - Safety First: The skill implements a 'human-in-the-loop' philosophy. When performing destructive actions like moving to trash, the assistant will prompt you for a final confirmation to ensure no data loss occurs.
- Search Queries: Leverage Gmail’s native search syntax (e.g.,
has:attachment,newer_than:7d) to narrow down your requests. Combining filters significantly improves performance. - Reply Best Practices: Always review the content of the thread using
GMAIL_GET_THREADbefore usingGMAIL_REPLY_TO_EMAILto ensure you have the full context of the conversation.
