Example Workflows

Morning Email Triage
Time saved: ~35 minutes every morningThe agent scans your inbox, uses context to determine priority, generates draft replies for standard messages, and delivers a concise brief to your Slack. You review drafts with coffee, approve or edit, done.
Prompt“Every morning at 8am, read my inbox. Categorize everything into urgent/needs-reply/FYI/spam. Draft responses for routine messages. Send me a 5-line summary in Slack with just the urgent items.”

Invoice Data Extraction
Time saved: ~15 minutes per invoicePokee monitors incoming mail, identifies invoice emails, reads the attachment (PDF or image), extracts structured data, and populates your spreadsheet with zero manual entry.
Prompt“When I receive an email with an invoice attached, extract the vendor name, amount, due date, and invoice number into my Invoices Google Sheet. Flag anything over $5,000 in red.”

Client Follow-Up Automation
Time saved: ~45 minutes per weekThe agent scans your sent/received history, identifies gaps, generates contextual follow-ups (not templates), and queues them for your review.
Prompt“Every Monday, check if any client emails have gone unanswered for 48+ hours. Draft a follow-up for each using context from the thread. Professional but friendly tone. Show me before sending.”

Lead Routing
Time saved: 30 min/dayIntelligent routing based on email content, not just keywords. The agent understands intent and routes accordingly.

FAQ
- Does Pokee read all my emails?
- No. Pokee only accesses emails when you instruct it to, and only within the scope you define. You control exactly which emails or conditions trigger the agent. Nothing runs without your explicit permission.
- Can it handle attachments?
- Yes. Pokee reads PDFs, images, and documents attached to emails. It can extract data, summarize content, or route attachments to other tools like Google Drive or Sheets.
- Is it secure?
- SOC 2 Type I certified. OAuth-based authentication (Pokee never sees your password). End-to-end encryption. On-premise deployment available for enterprise. Your email data never leaves your authorized environment.
- How is this different from Zapier + Gmail?
- Zapier uses rigid triggers ("when email from X arrives, do Y"). Every variation needs a separate Zap. Pokee uses natural language and adapts to context. You can change criteria, tone, timing, or recipients just by rephrasing. No workflow rebuilds, no broken automations when email formats change.
- Can it send emails on my behalf?
- Yes, but with human-in-the-loop by default. Pokee drafts emails and shows them to you for approval before sending. You can enable auto-send for specific low-risk workflows if you choose.
