Gmail Runner Workflows

Triage priority threads, draft the next reply, and keep founder follow-through moving from one workflow.

Runner wires Gmail through the backend `gmail` toolkit and adds workflow-specific tools for inbox triage, no-reply follow-up, commitment tracking, and relationship check-ins.

What Runner actually does with Gmail

This page is tied to the real connector definition inside Runner. The highlights below describe the kinds of actions, safeguards, and workflow patterns the app page represents, not a generic integration directory blurb.

Prioritize the inbox before you start writing.

Draft, revise, and send replies with thread context already loaded.

Turn relationship-heavy email into follow-up drafts, check-ins, and tracked commitments.

Backend surface

Composio toolkit powers this connector inside Runner. Backed by the `gmail` toolkit in Runner's backend catalog with a custom tool-config module that adds 38 named Gmail actions.

Operational notes

  • The backend ships dedicated tools for sender analysis, weekly updates, vendor renewal monitoring, and relationship check-ins.
  • Draft-first flows are explicit: Runner can create the draft, update it, and send only after review.

Triggers and actions

What Runner can do with Gmail. These are grounded in the real backend connector definitions, not generic marketing filler.

Rank the inbox before you respond

gmail_top_emails_today

Get the most important inbox emails from the last 7 days, scored by priority.

“Show me the top inbox threads that need founder follow-through today.”

Runner surfaces the threads worth acting on first instead of making you triage manually.

Create a reviewable reply draft

gmail_draft_reply

Create a draft reply in an existing email thread so the user can review and send from Gmail.

“Draft a concise reply that confirms timing, answers the pricing question, and keeps the thread warm.”

The next reply is prepared with the real thread context already attached.

Catch sent emails that never got a reply

gmail_follow_up_no_reply

Find sent emails with no reply after N days and create follow-up drafts for review.

“Find investor emails older than 7 days with no reply and draft the nudge for me.”

Runner turns forgotten sent mail into ready-to-review follow-up instead of letting it die in the outbox.

Track promises and loose ends

gmail_commitments_tracker

Workflow preset that identifies likely commitments, promises, and unresolved follow-through in email.

“Scan the last 10 days of founder email and list the commitments I made that still need action.”

You get a focused commitments list instead of rereading every thread.

Spot relationships that need a check-in

gmail_relationship_checkins

Workflow preset that identifies contacts who may need outreach based on message history.

“Who in my network looks overdue for a check-in based on the last month of email?”

Runner highlights the relationships that are cooling off before they go silent.

Use Gmail inside a real workflow

Download Runner to connect Gmail to the rest of your workflow instead of treating it like another isolated tab.
