Get drafts for your five oldest unanswered Gmail and Outlook emails
About this workflow
Updated Aug 21, 2026
What this workflow does
This workflow drafts replies to your five oldest unanswered emails in your tone. It works through the backlog in Gmail and Outlook instead of making you find each message, reread the thread, and write every response by hand.
People managing a busy inbox would normally handle this task one email at a time. Incredible prepares five replies and leaves them as drafts for you to review, edit, or send yourself. Nothing sends without you.
How it works, step by step
Run the workflow on demand and Incredible follows the same taught inbox routine in your signed-in Gmail and Outlook accounts. You can watch these steps happen on screen:
- 1Find the oldest unanswered emails. Gmail and Outlook are checked to identify the five oldest messages that still need your reply.
- 2Open the selected threads. Each selected email thread is opened so the existing conversation can be read.
- 3Draft replies in your tone. A reply is written for each selected email using the tone taught to the workflow.
- 4Leave the replies as drafts. The five replies remain as drafts for your review and are not sent.
Every run follows these steps in order. If a step cannot be completed, the run stops and tells you what happened instead of guessing.
