How to add an Ask first rule for external email in Grok Bot
🎯 Add an Auto-review Ask first rule for external email, then ask a Bot for an email draft and watch it wait for you.
Why it matters: Rules decide what stops for your approval. A narrow Ask first rule for sending email is the safety net to set up before you give Bots real work.
Hint
Keep the rule narrow, scoped to one known action. If an Ask first rule and an Allow automatically rule both match, Ask first wins.
Solution
- Open Settings → General → Auto-review and add an Ask first rule: "Ask first before sending any external email."
- Send the draft prompt below to a Bot.
- When the draft card appears, read the recipients and body, then choose Discard. Nothing gets sent.
Prompt to paste:
Draft a short email to me that lists three things you can help me with this week. Show it as a draft for review. Do not send it.
