Employee Mode settings for email integration and autonomous communication

Employee Mode allows agents to autonomously listen for incoming emails and send responses from your connected email address, turning them into virtual assistants that work independently.

​
How it works

  • Email Integration: Connect your Gmail account to enable inbox access
  • Autonomous Communication: Agents can listen for incoming messages and respond automatically
  • Task Management: Agents handle complex workflows end-to-end without constant supervision
  • Virtual Files: Agents create and manage virtual files to track progress and maintain context

​
Setting up Employee Mode

  1. Navigate to an agent’s configuration
  2. Connect your Gmail account
  3. Set email preferences and response guidelines
  4. Define the agent’s scope and communication style

​

  • Customer Support: Handle common inquiries and escalate complex issues
  • Project Management: Track tasks, send updates, and coordinate with team members
  • Content Creation: Research, draft, edit, and publish content autonomously

​
Best practices
