Connecting your mailbox to an AI agent takes 5 minutes and saves you 2 hours every day. No more sorting emails one by one or wondering what to reply. The agent reads your messages, finds the important ones, and writes responses for you.
This business email automation turns your mailbox into a smart assistant that works 24/7. While you sleep, it sorts your emails and prepares tomorrow's responses.
Why automate your email management with an AI agent?
Your mailbox overflows every day. Between spam, client emails, and team messages, you waste tons of time sorting everything.
An AI agent connected to your mailbox does this work for you:
- It reads all your emails as soon as they arrive
- It finds urgent messages that need quick responses
- It writes replies using your words and style
- It automatically sorts your emails into folders
- It gives you a summary of important points every morning
This business email automation works even when you're not there. Your clients get fast responses and you keep control over everything.
How to connect your mailbox in 4 simple steps
Step 1: Create your email agent on Swiftask
Go to the "Agents" section and click "New agent". Give it a name like "My email assistant". Write what you want it to do: "Read my emails, find urgent ones, write polite responses".


The more specific you are, the better it works. Tell it your style: "Reply in a friendly but professional way" or "Use a serious tone for clients".

Step 2: Add the Email IMAP skill
In "Skills", search for "Email IMAP toolbox" and add it to your agent. This skill lets your agent connect to any mailbox: Gmail, Outlook, or business email systems.

IMAP is a technology that's been around for 20 years. It works everywhere and stays very secure to protect your data.

Step 3: Connect your mailbox
Type your complete email address and password. Swiftask uses a secure connection that protects your personal information.
Your agent can now read your emails and write new ones. It never deletes anything without your permission.
Step 4: Test the connection
Ask your agent: "How many unread emails do I have?" If it answers right away, it's working. You can now ask it to do more complex tasks.
Advanced email automation: create smart processes
Swiftask's real strength is making several AIs work together. Your email agent can trigger other automatic actions:
Complete automatic process:
- The agent reads a new client email
