Why Email Flow Exists

Your inbox shouldn’t be a creativity crusher. I was stuck in a daily whack‑a‑mole of “Thanks for reaching out…” and “Please attach your résumé…”. Email Flow turns that slog into a two‑minute review.

How Email Flow Works (5‑Step Loop)

1. New email ➜ trigger – A fresh message lands in Gmail and fires the scenario.
2. GPT categorizes – The body text is sent to GPT‑4o, which labels it as an Inquiry/Request, Complaint/Issue, or Job Application.
3. Google Sheet lookup – Email Flow pulls the matching FAQ or policy snippet from your reference sheet.
4. GPT drafts reply – Using the snippet + original email, GPT‑4o writes a helpful, on‑brand response.
5. Draft saved – The reply lands in your “Drafts” folder, ready for your quick eyeball and send.

Why It’s Your Secret Weapon

• Win back 30–60 min/day you used to spend typing repeat answers.
• Always on‑brand – Replies inherit your voice, tone, and policies.
• Built‑in quality control – You approve before anything leaves.
• Scales with you – Add new categories or sheet rows in seconds—no code rewiring.

Quick Start (2‑Minute Setup)

1. Duplicate the Google Sheet template and fill in common questions, policies, and canned responses.
2. Import EmailFlow.json into your Make workspace.
3. Connect your Gmail and OpenAI keys.
4. Paste the Sheet ID when prompted.
5. Hit Run once to watch the first draft appear, tweak if needed, then switch on the scheduler.
