    FAQ

    Questions about Anthropic + Gmail.

    How do I have Claude draft replies to incoming Gmail?
    Gmail Email Received → Claude with prompt "draft a reply matching the user's style based on these past replies (RAG)" → Gmail Create Draft. The draft sits in your drafts folder; you review and hit send.
    Can Claude auto-label and route incoming Gmail?
    Yes. Classify into "Customer", "Internal", "Newsletter", "Notification", "Sales pitch" with Claude → Gmail Modify Labels to apply the matching label. Combine with filters to auto-archive low-value labels.
    How does Claude summarize a long Gmail thread?
    Gmail Get Thread to fetch all messages → concatenate the bodies → ask Claude for a chronological 5-bullet summary + open questions. Post the summary as a Slack message or save to Notion for future reference.
    Can Claude extract action items from emails?
    Yes. Prompt: "Extract action items as JSON [{ owner, action, due_date }]". For each item, create a Todoist or Asana task with the owner set as assignee. Inbox → task list in one workflow.
    How do I avoid Claude responding to its own auto-drafted emails?
    Filter the Gmail trigger to skip your own sent address. Also skip messages where Claude or the workflow has added a specific label (e.g., "ai-drafted") to prevent re-triage loops.
    Can I prevent Claude from auto-sending — keep it in draft only?
    Yes — use Create Draft instead of Send Email. The reply sits in Drafts until you open Gmail, review, and hit send. Recommended for any AI-drafted external communication.
