When you open the Email Auto-Responder page, you will see a quick summary of your inbox performance:

Top Metrics

  • Email Accounts: Number of connected email inboxes

2. How Email Auto-Responder Works

The system manages your business emails in six simple steps:

  1. Connect Email
    Add your business email through IMAP/SMTP.

  2. AI Monitors
    The system checks for new messages every 5 minutes.

  3. Smart Analysis
    AI understands, categorizes, and prioritizes each email.

  4. Generate Response
    AI creates contextual, personalized replies.

  5. Review (Optional)
    You can approve replies before sending or enable auto-send.

  6. Send & Track
    Responses are sent automatically, and conversations are logged for analytics.

If no emails are connected yet, you will see:
“No emails yet — Your incoming emails will show here.”
