 "title": "Triage new Gmail or Outlook messages with an agent",
 "page_title": "How to triage new Gmail or Outlook messages with an agent with Apowerb",
 "summary": "A new email starts an agent that classifies it, checks the CRM and drafts a reply.",
 "who": "A customer support or sales lead whose inbox fills faster than the team can sort it, and who wants drafts ready before a person reads each message.",
 "problem": "Each incoming message needs reading, sorting, a customer lookup and a first reply, all done by hand.",
 "outcome": "Each new message gets a classification, a CRM lookup and a draft reply, with a session trace for review.",
 "steps": [
  "Start the stack from the quick start: `docker compose -f docker-compose/docker-compose.yml --env-file .env up -d`",
  "In the web interface, define an agent with instructions, a model and the tools it needs.",
  "Connect the Gmail or Outlook account that will trigger the agent, following the Webhooks section of the docs. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Add a CRM tool such as HubSpot or Pipedrive so the agent can look up the sender.",
  "Send a test message and open its session trace to check the classification and the draft."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the apowerb repo at https://github.com/apowerb/apowerb, build an inbox triage agent that is triggered by new messages in <target mailbox>. Expected output: for each message, a category, a CRM lookup result and a draft reply. Verify the session trace records each run before trusting the drafts.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Gmail and Outlook triggers depend on webhook callbacks reaching PUBLIC_BASE_URL, which must be a public address for a real mailbox to reach the server.",

 ],
 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Docker and Docker Compose",
  "An API key from a supported model provider such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, Gemini, Azure AI Foundry or OVHcloud, or any other LiteLLM provider",
  "Accounts for the business systems you want to connect, such as Gmail, Outlook, HubSpot, Pipedrive or Odoo"
