# Gmail Follow Up Sequencer

> Send follow-up emails on threads that haven't replied — 3, 7, 14 day cadence with fresh angles. Reads sent folder, identifies no-reply threads, drafts context-aware follow-ups. Trigger on "send follow-ups", "bump my cold emails", or "who hasn't replied?".

# Gmail Follow-up Sequencer

Find threads without replies and send the next touch via Composio.

## Workflow

1. **Ask the cadence.** Defaults: +3 days (bump), +7 (new angle), +14 (breakup). Confirm.
2. **Link Gmail:**
   ```bash
   composio link gmail
   ```
3. **Find recent sent messages without a reply.** Use Gmail query `in:sent newer_than:30d` then for each, check thread reply count:
   ```bash
   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": "..." }'
   ```
4. **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<n>?"
5. **Reply on the existing thread** (not a new thread — preserves context):
   ```bash
   composio execute GMAIL_REPLY_TO_THREAD -d '{
     "thread_id": "...",
     "recipient_email": "...",
     "message_body": "<follow-up>"
   }'
   ```
6. **Log to `./followups.csv`** with 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.
