## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Create a task that runs whenever a new Gmail message arrives from [FORM SENDER OR SUBJECT, e.g. subject line 'New inquiry']. For each one:

1. Summarize the sender and what they want in 2 lines.
2. Rate the fit from 1 to 5 against my ideal client: [YOUR IDEAL CLIENT, e.g. owners ready to hire help].
3. Draft a reply in my voice: warm, under 120 words, answering their actual question and offering [NEXT STEP, e.g. my booking link for a free call]. Here's my offer for context: [YOUR OFFER].
4. If the fit is low, draft a kind reply that points them to [LOW FIT OPTION, e.g. my free guide].

Save every reply as a Gmail draft. Don't send anything, and notify me only when a new draft is ready.
```

## Step by step

1. Connect Gmail in ChatGPT under Customize, then Plugins.
2. Paste the prompt in Work and ask for a task triggered by new Gmail messages.
3. Set the trigger filter to your form's sender or subject line.
4. Review each draft in Gmail, personalize it and send it yourself.
