View as Markdownalfred_ asks before it sends, invites people, or cleans up mail in bulk. Other things run on their own because you turned them on. Here's what happens in each case.
What asks first, and what doesn’t
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Sending a draft or a reply | Waits for your approval |
| Archiving, moving or labeling a few named emails | Happens right away, with an undo |
| Cleaning up by sender or search, or more than 25 emails | Asks first and shows the count |
| Filing low-priority mail | On by default, and you can switch it off per address |
| Email rules, scheduled sends and routines | Run without asking, because you set them up |
| Meeting threads that copy alfred@get-alfred.ai | alfred_ replies with times |
Approving by text
Cards end with a short set of choices. Reply 1 to approve, 2 to change it, or 3 to cancel. “Yes” and “send it” also approve, and a yes with a change counts as a change.
Permissions you grant to others
- Account coordinators can read, draft, send and add events once a teammate says yes. They can’t delete or archive, and each action is on a log the teammate can see.
- Claude, ChatGPT and other connected assistants act within the permissions you tick when you connect them.
A sent email can't be unsent.
Review what a rule, routine or permission allows before you turn it on.
