Grok Bot Manages My Inbox (and has its own)

0:00 So here you can see that I've got this Grockbot set up to wake up about every 30 minutes and place trades for me in the stock market or sell them or something like that. Except for this

0:07 routine isn't firing every 30 minutes. It's actually firing when a web hook fires. Which means that this Grockbot wakes up whenever it receives an email and it's got its own email account. So

0:16 what I'm actually doing here is I have GBD6 Astra doing the research and then sending over an email to this Grockbot called trader and actually saying hey place this trade or hey sell this. You

0:24 can also see that I get these notifications twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, which is my Grockbot called Nat, which is this one right here, who is cleaning up my actual

0:33 inbox. So, this runs every day at 6:45 a.m. and 6:45 p.m. And you can see that this has been running for me for a while now. It basically just keeps my inbox completely clean. It marks things as red

0:43 and it organizes every single email into either newsletters, outreach, primary, or urgent. So, by the end of this video, you will be able to have both of these things set up so that you can manage

0:52 your own inbox and you can also give your Grockbots their own email to manage. So, let's get straight into it. Okay, so first of all, let's just start with the super super easy one, which is

0:59 the inbox manager. You can see I've named this one Nat. And this one took almost no time to set up. As you can see, not very long conversation at all. I created a new bot. So, you'd come in

1:07 here and click create new bot. And then what you're going to do is just basically tell this bot what to do. So, this was my prompt. I said, "Hey, you are my email management agent. Your name

1:14 is Natie. I need you to help me keep my inbox clean." So what I'm thinking is I want these different labels. I want primary, I want notifications, I want outreach, and I want urgent. So I was

1:24 basically just telling it these are kind of the four categories and here are typically what fits into each category. So notifications are like from my bank or from services that I'm signed up for.

1:32 You know, having all those notifications in one spot. Outreach is when people are reaching out to me if they want to sponsor a video or if they want to just like pitch an idea or something. That's

1:40 outreach. And primary and urgent are the ones that I mainly care to actually look at. these two. I said, "Hey, just go ahead and mark those as red right away." So, I just want to know if it's

1:48 communication that I'm actively having with people or if it's some sort of urgent bill or invoice or something like that. So, the first step here is to really just get clear on your routing

1:55 rules. What do you want to happen when an email hits the inbox? How do you want it to be classified? And you can see here what it did is it said, "Okay, actually, I want to add newsletters as

2:02 well because you do get quite a few newsletters." So, I said, "Yep, let's do that." It locked it in. And then all you have to do from there is just add your actual account. So whether that's Gmail

2:10 or Outlook or whatever it is, go to the marketplace and then just search for it. If it's Gmail, you can add one here. And you can also add multiple accounts. So if you have different inboxes you want

2:18 to manage, you can add all of them. Just make sure you're giving them a label. So I should probably label this one Nate Maine. And then if I wanted to add other inboxes, I could add those as well and

2:27 set up different agents to manage the different inboxes. And the cool part is, of course, you can have every one of these wakeups message you. So, I said, "What I want you to do is do this twice

2:35 a day and then send me a ClickUp DM so that I can actually just get a quick notification on my phone that, hey, you know, this email came through. Here's urgent ones. Here's what you should

2:43 probably respond to, blah blah blah." And that's super simple. It created the routine and now I can just see exactly what it's supposed to do. It labels them. It doesn't draft anything for me.

2:51 It literally just labels and marks as red and stuff like that. And now I can see every time it runs and I get a ClickUp message in my ClickUp. And I also told it to add a label to the

3:00 bottom of the ClickUp message that says sent by Nat. So yeah, this one's super super simple. It's so easy to set up. Literally will take you 5 to 10 minutes. So go get this set up and then let me

3:08 show you how we actually give a Crockpot their own email to wake up to. All right, guys. Real quick, huge thanks to Clay for sponsoring this part of the video. Now, one of the most common

3:16 questions I get is where to actually find leads for cold outreach and how to learn enough about these people to send them something that they'll actually open. Because a raw list of names

3:25 doesn't tell you things like if they have decision-making authority and how to reach them or what they even care about. So, Clay is a data enrichment and orchestration platform. And it gives you

3:33 access to over 250 data providers and AI research tools all in one spot. So, instead of asking your agent to dig up whatever it can find online, you can research a whole list at once and pull

3:43 the right person to contact, their work email, and the size of their company. And if one provider comes back empty, Clay just moves down the list to the next one until it gets you a result. And

3:52 what's really cool is the logic you build stays attached to your data. So, the same steps can be run again and again on every new lead that you add. And you can see each step that it took,

4:00 like which provider every value came from and what it cost you. You can build all of this from cloud code with the Clay CLI, which is what I'm doing right here. So try Clay using the link in the

4:09 description and you'll get 2,000 free credits. Now, let's get back to the video. So the way we do this is we use a service called Agent Mail and it's completely free to start if you want to

4:17 just create an account here and log in and then I'll show you what to do next. So you can see here right away the dashboard shows us basically like some email deliverability stats. So, this is

4:26 how many our Grockbot has sent and received right here. Now, what you're going to do is you're going to go to inboxes, and you can see this is the email that this Grockbot is connected

4:35 to. His name is Bull the Trading Bot from when I did the trading challenge previously. But on this free plan, you can see that it says I have two remaining emails, which means I can make

4:43 one more right now to show you guys. So, what I'm going to do is click on create inbox. This username right here is just going to be YouTube and it's going to go to an agentmail.to

4:50 default domain. You could connect this to something custom if you'd like to, but right now I'm just going to leave it as the default. And then I'm just going to go ahead and create this inbox. Okay,

4:58 I had to change the name to YouTube test because it said that YouTube was taken. So now we have this. Now what's going to happen here is we can actually see the inbox. So I can see all the emails and I

5:06 could respond to them in here. So if I actually want to go back to my other inbox, you can see that I can see all the messages that are coming from my other email account that's sending

5:15 messages to Crockbot. Now you're going to go back into Crockbot. You're going to go to the marketplace and you're going to connect agent mail, which is a native connector in here, which is

5:22 awesome. You'll click on agent mail and you'll go ahead and add an account. I obviously have one here, so I'm just going to call this one bull. But then if you don't have one, you will go ahead

5:30 and add an account. I'm just going to call this the test. And then you're going to authorize. And when you authorize, this will basically just pull in the ability for you to log in. So I'm

5:38 going to click allow. And then it completely connects to your agent mail. Okay. So now we have connected to test. We are going to go ahead and create a new agent. So, I'm going to create a new

5:48 bot. I'm just going to say, "Hey, you are Stephanie. You are my assistant. Just hold tight and I'll tell you what you need to do." So, random prompt, threw that off. And what we're

6:02 going to do now is we need to set up a routine. So, we need to actually tell it, "Okay, you wake up when you receive emails." So, I'm going to say, "All right, Stephanie, your job is to respond

6:10 to emails, and you're kind of like Nate's assistant. So, I'm going to give you an email address, and that's how you're going to respond. It's going to be connected through agent mail, and

6:19 you're going to use the agent mail um credential that I just connected. Now, what I want you to do is create a routine. And this routine is going to be a web hook. And then I'm going to

6:29 connect that web hook to agent mail so that when you um receive an email, that's when you should basically wake up. And if you've never actually heard of a web hook

6:37 before, just ask Glido, what is a super simple explanation of a web hook? and it will tell you right here. A web hook is a way for one app to automatically send a small message to another app whenever

6:46 a specific event happens like a new comment posted or in our case a new email hit the inbox. Cool. So now this routine is live. I can go ahead and click on it and you can see that we have

6:56 this button down here that says when a web hook fires and actually I just refreshed and I had a new update to install for Grockbot. And now you can see when you click on the routine it

7:05 looks a little bit different. So if your screen looked different from what I was showing earlier that's why it's just an update to Grockbot. Now, what we need to do is we need to be able to actually see

7:13 the web hook address and the key that we need for this web hook because we have to give Grockbot and agent mail permission to talk through the web hook. It's it's more than just that

7:22 authorization we did earlier. Now, in the previous update or the previous version, you used to be able to click on this and it would show you that information, but I'm not seeing it now.

7:30 All right, so now it is the next day. I had to wait for the desktop app to come up with an update because I knew that was a bug. And now that I've updated the desktop app, which by the way, if you

7:38 need to, it'll be right down here. there'll be like a little cloud or you click into here and it'll say update. And now that I've updated this, this works as expected. This is no longer

7:46 buggy. And we can see that we have our web hook address and we have our actual key. So I'm going to show you exactly what we do with this. But basically, we have to give this to agent mail so that

7:55 agent mail is allowed to send basically a notification to Stephanie, this inbox agent right here, when there is a new inbox or a new email. So I'm going to go back over to agent mail. Here we are.

8:06 These are the two inboxes. And then what we're going to do is we're going to go to the web hooks on the left. So you're going to click on web hooks. You can see that I've already got one set up right

8:13 here. And this is for my trader and Grockbot. You can see this endpoint sends emails to trader and Grockbot. So what we're going to do here is we're going to click on add endpoint. We're

8:22 going to put in the URL. So that's where you go back into Grock. You're going to grab this URL right here and copy it. And then you're going to paste that right into there. The description. So

8:32 this is a test web hook for Stephanie inside of Grockbot. So that is what we got there. And then for the subscribing to events, this basically means like what events are going to actually

8:42 trigger this web hook, trigger a message being sent to this endpoint. So what we need to do here is you can look through the event catalog, but um that will take you a different page. So I'm not going

8:51 to look at the catalog. You can scroll through here. Basically, all that we want to do is we just want to check the messages once. So this is just going to allow us to you know when a message is

9:00 received actually wake up Stephanie. Now, if you wanted to go through this and, you know, click info and and get more specific, you could. But I'm just going to select messages. And then we

9:10 are going to go ahead and hit this button, which this UI is a little bit buggy. We should be able to hit save. And now what we need to do is we need to add the key. So the way that we add the

9:18 key is we go to advanced and then right here, custom headers. So if you go back into Grockbot, what you can see is that the header is authorization colon bearer space and then your key. So what you

9:30 want to do is you're just going to copy the word authorization. Actually, you know what? Just type it because you don't want to um copy the wrong thing. So, capital A authorization.

9:39 And then for the value, you're going to do capital B bearer just like this. You're going to hit space one time. And then you're going to go in, copy this key, go back into agent mail, paste that

9:50 in. So, it should be bearer, space, and then your key. And then this interface is a little buggy, but I'm going to go ahead and hit save. And then it should look like that. And now, this is

10:00 basically all you need to do. This should be set up. So, what we have to do now is we have to actually test this endpoint. Real quick, guys, as I'm editing this video, I just wanted to say

10:08 that the actual API key that you're getting there that you copied from Grockbot into agent mail, you probably want to keep that private. And also, you probably want to keep the URL, the

10:17 endpoint private because if anyone has those two things, they can basically trigger that web hook. So, they could find a way into your Grockbot and have it do things that you probably don't

10:26 want it to do. So, treat it like you treat any API key or password. Keep it private. Obviously, the ones that I showed you guys in this demo, I've deleted by now, so don't even try it.

10:33 But just wanted to say that. But let's get back to the video. Now, here's something that I'm sure you guys are wondering because I was wondering it, too, is that now we have two inboxes and

10:41 we also have two web hooks, but we didn't ever choose, you know, like which inbox do we want to correlate to which web hook. Meaning, both Trader and Stephanie are going to be getting emails

10:50 from both of those inboxes, and we don't really want that. Now, what you can do inside of Grockbot is you can just tell it, "Hey, by the way, Stephanie, you should only be responding to emails that

10:59 are coming in to this inbox." You know, you can set up the routine and it will filter everything out immediately and that will work, but it's just not super clean. So, I'll show you guys real quick

11:06 how you can set that up if you want to. And for some reason, agent mail, if you're listening to this, make this easier. I don't It should just really be a simple UI dropown. Hey, which inbox do

11:17 you want this to correlate to? It lets us do it, but we have to do it in code, which is pretty weird. So, we have to set an inbox ID. So, what I did here is I just went to Codeex. I told it the

11:25 situation. I said, "Hey, I've got this inbox, this inbox. I want it to correlate to this one only." And it gave me this JavaScript, which I'm basically able to just copy this. I also pulled up

11:33 my um HML console right in here. And it said I can just paste that into there and then hit save. And so now this endpoint should only actually be triggered by emails that come into that

11:45 new YouTube test inbox right here. YouTube testmail.to. And by the way, the way I got there was inside of my web hook, I went to advanced. So right where we put the API key, and then I just

11:54 clicked on edit transformation and that's where we got that um code that we could edit there. So what we're going to do now is we are going to actually test that out. This is the moment of truth.

12:02 We're going to send an email to that account. Test. This is just gonna say, "Hey, could you please just let me know if you get this and tell me your favorite joke?" And then real quick,

12:13 could you go ahead and format this as an email? It's to Stephanie and it's from Nate. Okay. Boom. Now, we'll go ahead and send that off to agent mail. Now, what we're

12:22 looking for in inside of Grockbot is we're looking for Stephanie to get that email and we'll see her start spinning and start working. And we'll see this thing spinning as well. So, there we go.

12:33 Right on Q. We see this spinning. We see Stephanie working and that means that two things worked. The actual web hook from agent mail to Grockbot worked and the filter which only allows this inbox

12:44 YouTube test to actually trigger Stephanie because you'll see here if I go over to Trader, nothing's happening. Trader did not react to that email at all, but Stephanie did as you can see.

12:54 So, she should be coming back and telling us a joke. Real quick, guys, just wanted to say we have this completely free kit for you all for building your own AIOS. It's a template

13:01 that will help 10x your productivity. It's got a bunch of skills in there, a bunch of resources in there, and it will basically help you transform your system. Whether that's for Cloud Code or

13:09 Codeex or Hermes Agent or whatever agent harness you're using, whatever tool you're using, this kit will help you out. But like I said, this is yours completely free. The link for this will

13:16 be down in the description. But let's get back to the video. Now, because I never answered Stephanie's question earlier up here, it went ahead and just proactively updated the routine to only

13:25 touch emails from here. But it said, "Got your test email. Replied in thread confirming receipt with a short joke. Web hook path is working. So we can treat that address as inbox going

13:34 forward. Now if I go back into agent mail real quick and we go to the inbox, you can see that we have this test message and then our Grockbot responded and say, "Hi Nate, got it. Your message

13:42 landed in the inbox. Favorite joke is why don't scientists trust Adams?" Because they make up everything. Classic AI joke. But you can see that you can actually look at the inbox here and you

13:50 can talk from here. But that is how we know that Grockbot actually was able to respond after it got this message. So this is pretty cool. Well, the possibilities are truly endless once you

14:00 start to scale up different bots and give them their own inboxes. And you know, obviously Grockbots inside here can talk to each other. So, they don't need inboxes to talk with each other.

14:07 But if you want them to talk to other agents, like your codecs can send emails or something like that to your Grockbot or different automations, it's going to be pretty cool. So, I can't wait to see

14:16 what you guys are able to build. But that is going to do it for today. If you guys want to watch more Grockbot content, then check out this video right up here where I go over every single

14:23 core concept that you need to know about Crockbot. So, I'll see you guys over there. And thanks for making it the end.
