Overview
A commenter reports ChatGPT agent actually sent emails after the user signed into their email account, and asks whether it can buy plane tickets.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: Use ChatGPT Agent to automate email outreach. The workflow requires the user to manually sign into their email account first. Once authenticated, the agent drafts and sends emails to specified recipients, such as tutors or colleagues. Human involvement is critical for initial authentication and reviewing content before dispatch.
Reported result
Actual outcomes are unverified due to source access errors (HTTP 403). The original case claimed the agent sent emails to approximately 10 tutors after login. No metrics on success rates, delivery confirmation, or error handling are available. Proposed acceptance check: Verify that 100% of drafted emails match the template and recipient list before sending.
Human role
The user must manually sign into their email account before the agent can send emails.
Limitations
Prerequisites include a valid email account and manual user authentication. The agent cannot bypass login security. Integration uncertainty exists regarding email provider compatibility. Human approval is mandatory for content review to prevent errors. Source reliability is low as the original thread is inaccessible.
Try it
Act as an email automation assistant. I need to send outreach emails to [replaceable: list of 5 tutor names and emails]. Use ChatGPT Agent to draft emails based on this template: [replaceable: email body text]. First, guide me through signing into my email account. Once logged in, draft the emails. Do NOT send them yet. Present the drafts to me for review. I will confirm each draft. Only after my explicit confirmation, send the emails. If any recipient email is invalid, stop and ask me for correction. Output format: Show draft subject and body for each recipient, then await my 'approve' or 'edit' command. Measure success by ensuring all sent emails match approved drafts exactly. Handle missing inputs by asking for the recipient list or template if not provided.
