What recipe-forward-labeled-emails does

recipe-forward-labeled-emails searches Gmail by label, reads a matching message, then sends a new email with its subject and body. The recipe uses label:needs-review as its example query, and the agent can apply the label you provide.

The skill requires the gws binary and the gws-gmail skill. Its workflow uses gws gmail users messages list, gws gmail users messages get, and gws gmail +send. The recipient, subject, and message body are set when the new email is sent.

Install it when labeled Gmail messages should be routed to a reviewer. Choose another workflow if you need to preserve the original message as-is instead of sending a new email.

What it helps with

  • find Gmail messages with a chosen label
  • read the content of a matching message
  • forward mail to a reviewer’s address
  • build a subject with the FW: prefix

Example prompts for the agent

  • Find Gmail messages labeled `needs-review` and forward them to `[email protected]`.
  • Use `gws gmail users messages get` to read the message, then send a new email with subject `FW: [Original Subject]`.
  • Search labeled messages with `gws gmail users messages list`.
