Gmail Follow-up Sequencer
Find threads without replies and send the next touch via Composio.
Workflow
- Ask the cadence. Defaults: +3 days (bump), +7 (new angle), +14 (breakup). Confirm.
- Link Gmail:
composio link gmail - Find recent sent messages without a reply. Use Gmail query
in:sent newer_than:30dthen for each, check thread reply count:composio execute GMAIL_FETCH_EMAILS -d '{ "query": "in:sent newer_than:30d -from:me", "max_results": 50 }' composio execute GMAIL_FETCH_MESSAGE_BY_THREAD_ID -d '{ "thread_id": "..." }' - For each no-reply thread, pick a follow-up angle:
- +3 bump: "Bringing this back to the top of your inbox." One line.
- +7 new angle: Fresh hook — relevant case study, question, data point.
- +14 breakup: "Assuming now's not the right time — I'll close the loop. Circle back in Q?"
- Reply on the existing thread (not a new thread — preserves context):
composio execute GMAIL_REPLY_TO_THREAD -d '{ "thread_id": "...", "recipient_email": "...", "message_body": "<follow-up>" }' - Log to
./followups.csvwith thread_id, recipient, touch_number, sent_at.
Breakup email template
Subject: (reply on existing thread)
Hi <Name>,
Haven't heard back so I'll assume the timing isn't right. If <their priority> changes,
I'm here. Either way, appreciate you reading.
— <You>
Guardrails
- Maximum 3 follow-ups per thread. After the breakup email, stop.
- Never follow up on a thread where the recipient replied "unsubscribe", "not interested", "remove me".
- Show the user all drafted follow-ups before sending more than 10.
