How to give your Bot its own email address in Grok Bot
🎯 Have a Bot claim its own email address, send it a test email from your own inbox, and get a summary of what arrived.
Why it matters: Since v0.70.2, Bots can claim their own email address and receive mail there, and anything they send from it waits for your approval on a draft card. Forwarding newsletters or receipts to it lets a Bot work on them for you.
Hint
Receiving is the easy half. Anything the Bot sends from that address waits for you as a draft card, so the test can't go wrong.
Solution
- Ask a Bot to claim its own email address. Pick the name carefully, because it may not be easy to change later.
- From your personal email, send that address a short test message (for example, a list of three errands).
- Send the prompt below, and check that the Bot quotes your test message correctly.
Prompt to paste:
Check your own inbox for the test email I just sent. Summarize it in three bullets with the sender and time. Don't reply to it.
