Try it
I want to set up a 'School Desk' workflow using Grok Bot to manage my child's school communications. 1. Connect Grok Bot to my school email inbox [replaceable input: email provider/account]. 2. Configure the bot to scan for keywords related to packing, wearing, signing, and paying. 3. Set up a nightly digest that lists these action items. 4. First, run a dry test on 5 past emails [replaceable input: sample email files] to verify accuracy. 5. Show me the generated summary for review before enabling any live monitoring. 6. Do not allow the bot to send any replies or make payments without my explicit confirmation. Please guide me through the configuration steps and confirm when the dry run is ready for my review.
