My agent checks my inbox every 2 hours and files client work for me

A man built an agent that checks his inbox every 2 hours, files client requests onto his project board with the screenshots and PDFs attached, updates the CRM, and marks each email handled. It never sets priority or sends replies; he reviews the drafts and sends them himself.

How it works

Agent checks the inbox every 2 hours
It files each client request onto the project board
It carries the screenshots and PDFs with it
It updates the CRM
It marks the email handled
He reviews the drafts and sends the replies himself

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent does the filing, the board updates and the CRM on a 2 hour loop, but it is not allowed to send a single reply.
