How It Works

Email Monitor

When triggered, check Gmail for emails matching configured sender rules:

1. Connect — Check if Gmail integration is installed via `tool_search`. If not:

• `tool_install({ name: "gmail" })` to connect via Composio OAuth

2. Load rules — Read sender rules from memory (key: `email_alert_rules`)

• Each rule has: sender pattern (domain or address), priority, target Slack channel

• If no rules exist, ask the user which senders to monitor

3. Fetch — Once connected, call:

• `GMAIL_SEARCH` with query `from:{sender}` for each configured sender rule

• Filter to emails received since last check (stored in memory as `email_last_check`)

4. Extract — For each matching email:

• Subject line, sender name, timestamp, first 200 chars of body

• Classify urgency based on keywords (urgent, action required, deadline, etc.)

5. Alert — For each new matching email:

• Format a concise alert with sender, subject, urgency, and snippet

• Hand off to `slack-forward` skill or `send_message` if channel configured

6. Update canvas — Update the alert dashboard:

• Increment alerts-today counter

• Add new alerts to the recent alerts feed

• Update last-checked timestamp

7. Persist — Save `email_last_check` timestamp to memory
