Triage your inbox without automatically replying
Separate messages needing a decision from reference material and low-priority mail.
What you’ll produce
A source-linked inbox review with action items, deadlines, and unsent reply drafts.
Inputs & connections
- A limited date range or mailbox label
- Your priority rules and examples of messages that matter
Begin with approved exports or pasted source material. Live access requires separately configured integrations and permissions; this guide does not install them.
Your starting prompt
Replace the bracketed fields. This is our suggested prompt, not a quote from the source.
Review [mailbox scope] using [priority rules]. Return messages requiring my decision, deadlines explicitly stated in the email, unanswered questions, and optional unsent reply drafts. Link to the original message and distinguish an explicit commitment from an inference. Do not send, archive, delete, unsubscribe, or change labels. Ask for clarification when the sender's intent is unclear.
How to run it
- 01
Connect only the mailbox access you intend Muse to use, or provide approved exports.
- 02
Define the time range and examples of high-priority messages.
- 03
Compare the first brief to the original messages, including excluded items.
- 04
Adjust rules and use an approval step for any later actions.
Review before you act
Check deadlines, recipients, commitments, and any message the assistant may have missed.
Limitations & success checks
- Mail access and available actions depend on your configured account.
- A large inbox demonstration does not prove reliable triage for every mailbox.
Measure: Missed important messages, false priorities, and corrections to draft replies.
