#05Email & Admin

Give each bot its own email address and route mail by recipient

Value8/10
ProofWell documented
LevelStart here

Bots can claim their own address, and sends from it wait on a draft card. Tagged addresses (name+tag@) let a routine run only for its mail, and a domain owner can forward several addresses on their domain to different bots. Users CC the bot on threads with the instruction on the last line, and it books the meeting and replies on-thread.

Why this scoreNow a built-in capability; turns CC into delegation and keeps bot mail out of your personal inbox.

Prompt or steps

CC the bot; last line of your email: "Book Tuesday at 3pm and get back to them." Domain variant: "Set up free Cloudflare forwarding addresses on my domain that land in your inbox; route support@ to the support bot and me@ to the personal bot."

Reported results

Qualitative: zero manual sorting (ManaEngineer); delegation inside existing email flow (Michael Fenech).

Verification

Changelog confirms bot email addresses with draft approval (Oct 11), tagged addresses with per-tag routines (Oct 14), and routines that read bot inboxes (Oct 22). Fenech's version predates the built-in inbox and used AgentMail plus a webhook.
