Created by Adam Goodyer • Version 95 • 56 steps
What you get
- Install an AI Gmail support agent that checks unread support emails, uses your docs or help center for context, drafts replies, and escalates messages that need a human.
Integrations
- googleapis
- google-gmail
- openai
How it works
- 56 workflow steps run in Breyta to produce the app result.
What this flow does
AI Gmail Support Agent monitors a Gmail inbox for unread support emails, checks each new message, and drafts a concise reply using your docs or help center as context.
Add your product name, support sender name, and a docs or help center URL during setup. The flow fetches that page, uses it to answer product questions, sends replies through Gmail, and escalates messages that need a human.
Who it is for
- SaaS teams that receive support questions in Gmail.
- Founders or support teams that want faster first replies.
- Teams with public docs, a help center, or a support knowledge base.
What you need before installing it
- A Gmail account for sending and reading support email. You connect Gmail during setup.
- A product or company name.
- A docs or help center URL, for example
https://help.example.com. - Optional: a human escalation link, such as a
mailto:link or support page.
OpenAI is provided by the flow author, so installers do not need to bring their own OpenAI API key.
How it works
- Checks Gmail for unread support emails.
- Skips threads that already have replies.
- Classifies each message as product support, spam, or human escalation.
- Fetches the docs or help center URL provided during setup.
- Drafts a short reply grounded in that content.
- Sends the reply through Gmail.
- Marks handled emails as read.
- Stars escalated messages for human review.
Output
- A sent Gmail reply for support questions the agent can answer.
- A skipped or escalated status for messages that should not receive an automated reply.
- A run record showing what happened.
Notes
This flow currently uses the single docs or help center URL provided during setup. It does not crawl an entire help center. If the scraped page does not contain the answer, the agent should say that and point the customer to the next support step.
FAQ
What does the AI Gmail Support Agent do?
This app functions as an autonomous assistant for your support inbox. It reads unread emails, uses your documentation for context, drafts replies, and notifies you when a human needs to step in.
How does the agent use my help centre documentation?
The workflow connects your Gmail account with OpenAI and your existing help centre. It retrieves information from your docs to ensure every drafted response is accurate and relevant to your product.
Does the AI agent handle all customer emails automatically?
The AI identifies complex queries or sensitive issues that it cannot resolve alone. In these cases, it flags the message for your team to handle, ensuring you maintain a personal touch where it matters most.
Which services do I need to connect to get started?
You will need to connect your Google Gmail and OpenAI accounts through the Breyta platform. Once you have linked these services, you can point the agent toward your specific help centre URLs to begin the training process.
Can I control how the AI drafts its responses?
You can customise the tone of the drafts and decide which types of enquiries the agent should prioritise. This allows you to maintain your brand voice while the AI handles the repetitive task of answering common questions.
