Content from other people is treated as data
Someone could write instructions into an email hoping an assistant follows them. alfred_ treats text from these sources as information to read, not instructions to carry out:
- Incoming email and the threads it quotes
- Calendar events and invites from other people
- Attachments and connected apps such as Slack and CRM records
Sends and bulk changes check with you
Sending email, inviting people, and sweeping cleanups show you a preview first, so a bad instruction can’t quietly become an action. See Approvals.
Accounts stay separate
Routines and the assistant work only with accounts you’ve connected. On a team, a teammate’s mail and calendar stay private unless they say yes to sharing.
What you can do.
Review rules and routines that send on their own, and connect only the apps you need.
