Grok Bot 101: The Free Course · Business track · Lesson B2
Clean up a busy business inbox so the bot files mail by job and flags what needs you
How do you get Grok Bot to manage a busy business inbox without missing a customer?
Give the bot one job: sort your business email into labels (in Gmail) or folders (in Outlook) by customer or job, list the junk for you to approve, and send you a short daily list of the emails that need your reply, with a suggested answer for each. It never sends, deletes or replies until you say yes, so nothing important disappears.
What you'll build
A Business Inbox bot that files email into folders by customer or job, lists junk for your OK, and sends you a weekday “needs you today” list with draft replies.
About 30 minutes to set up, then a few minutes each morning.

Why this is worth your time
The problem
Customer emails, supplier invoices, quotes and spam all land in one inbox. The one email that needed a reply today gets buried, and the filing never gets done.
What a Grok Bot can do now
An interiors company's 13 bots filed 2,773 emails and processed 71 invoices in 11 days. A kidney doctor comes home to replies already drafted for his side projects, and he approves everything before it goes out. Another user's weekday 8 a.m. inbox check only gives advice and never sends anything.
Why this works now
You don't need inbox rules or filters. The bot reads like a person would, sorts by who the email is about, and you only have to read one short list a day.

Questions people ask
Will the bot reply to my customers?
Not on its own. It writes a suggested reply for each email that needs you. You read it and change it, then send it yourself, or have the bot send it: Grok Bot shows you the email as a draft, and it only goes out when you press Send.
Which email services does this work with?
Gmail and Outlook can both be connected to Grok Bot, and the bot can file mail into labels or folders. For other email services, ask your bot whether it can connect to yours.
Will it delete anything?
Only after you approve the list. It moves approved junk to Trash, not deleted forever, so you can get anything back.
Can it handle invoices?
It can find them and list them with the amount and due date. It doesn't pay anything. You or your bookkeeper do that.
What if my team shares the inbox?
Agree on the folder names first, and tell the bot who handles which kind of email, so its daily list says who should reply.
