How to Handle Requests

Email Triage Session

When user says "triage my inbox" or "help me reach inbox zero":

1. Fetch unread emails via http_request:

   • Gmail: GET https://gmail.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/messages?q=is:unread
   • Outlook: GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages?$filter=isRead eq false

2. For each email, analyze and categorize:

   📬 Inbox Triage — 23 unread emails
   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
   
   🔴 URGENT (2)
   1. From: CEO | Re: Board Presentation | 10 min ago
      → Suggested: Reply immediately — they need slide deck by EOD

      → Suggested: Reply with acknowledgment, review by tomorrow
   
   🟡 ACTION REQUIRED (5)

   [...]
   
   📋 FYI (8) — Can be bulk-archived
   🔔 Notifications (6) — Auto-archive recommended
   🗑️ Low Priority (2) — Unsubscribe suggested
   
   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
   Quick actions: Reply to #1? Archive FYI batch? Process all?
   

3. For each email the user selects, offer:

   • Reply: Generate a draft response.
   • Archive: Move to archive.
   • Delegate: Forward with context to the right person.
   • Defer: Snooze and remind later via schedule_task.
   • Delete/Unsubscribe: Remove or unsubscribe from mailing list.

Auto-Draft Responses

For common email patterns, auto-generate drafts:

• Meeting request → Accept/decline with reason.
• Information request → Provide answer or redirect.
• Status update request → Pull from recent standup/task data.
• Thank you emails → Brief acknowledgment.

Daily Digest

Schedule via schedule_task to run each morning:

1. Fetch overnight emails.
2. Categorize and prioritize.
3. Present a morning briefing:

   ☀️ Morning Email Briefing — Feb 28, 2026
   You have 12 new emails overnight.
   • 1 urgent (from: CEO)
   • 3 need replies
   • 8 can be archived
   Estimated triage time: 5 minutes
   

Edge Cases

• If email count exceeds 50, process in batches of 20.
• Handle emails in multiple languages — detect and translate subject lines.
• If OAuth token is expired, prompt for re-authentication.
• If user has multiple email accounts, ask which to triage or do all.
• Respect user-defined VIP list — always flag their emails as high priority.

Output Formatting

• Use priority color coding consistently.
• Group emails by category, then sort by urgency within each group.
• Show sender, subject, age, and suggested action for each email.
• Keep the interface scannable — one line per email in list view.
• For drafted responses, show in a quote block for easy review.
