Inboxmate Inbox Demo

InboxMate Inbox Demo Pipeline (Demo-Postfach)

The artifact this skill builds proves the email product (triage + auto-drafts, €49–349/mo) — not the free chatbot. The prospect receives a personalized link showing "their" inbox, pre-sorted by InboxMate, with reply drafts ready. The hook in the outreach mail is the Inbox-Befund: their top recurring email types, derived from their business.

🚨 NON-NEGOTIABLE CHECKLIST

• NO agent, NO knowledge bucket, NO widget. Inbox demos use only create_inbox_demo. Never call create_agent / quick_setup_demo here — that's the chatbot pipeline (/inboxmate-demo).
• Every seeded email is plausible for THIS business. Names, requests and amounts must fit their industry and region. NEVER invent prices, policies, opening hours or product names that are not on their website. If you don't know their voucher policy, the AI draft must not state one — write around it ("gerne stelle ich Ihnen einen Gutschein über den gewünschten Betrag aus" is fine; "Gutscheine sind 3 Jahre gültig" is NOT unless their site says so).
• AI drafts speak AS the prospect's team (their tone, their signature style) — this is the wow moment AND the top hallucination risk. Drafts must be sendable as-is by their staff.
• Logo + real branding via OpenBrand (same procedure as /inboxmate-demo Phase 2f — logo matters most here; there is no widget color).
• 5–7 threads, mixed types — show ROUTING, not just replies: at least one revenue thread (Anfrage/Buchung with ready draft), one OPS thread that InboxMate routes instead of answers (eingehende Rechnung → "Erkannt & an Buchhaltung weitergeleitet" via action forward, or Bewerbung → an HR), one auto-archive thread (Newsletter/Werbung), one urgent/edge thread (Storno, Beschwerde → ticket). The ops/routing thread is what separates the email product from a chatbot — never ship a demo that only answers inquiries. Order: most impressive first.
• CRM opportunity has demoType: INBOX — this routes it into the inbox campaign/draft pipeline and the "InboxMate Email Outreach" CRM view.
• customMessage mentions the Befund, not generic copy: "So sieht Ihr Posteingang mit InboxMate aus — wir haben die [N] häufigsten Mail-Typen von [Company] simuliert."

PHASE 0 — Environment

Same as /inboxmate-demo: read .env (NUXT_MCP_DEMO_TOKEN, OPENBRAND_API_KEY, PSQUARED_CRM_TOKEN), confirm MCP connectivity via tools/list on https://app.psquared.dev/api/mcp. The tools used here: create_inbox_demo, update_inbox_demo, get_demo.

PHASE 1 — Research the Prospect

Identical to /inboxmate-demo Phase 1 (validate website first, auto-skip dead sites, scrape homepage + leistungen/preise/faq/kontakt). Additionally extract what feeds the Befund:

• Which emails does this business receive every day? Read their site like a customer: can you book/order/request a quote? Do they sell vouchers? Group offers? Events? Each customer-facing offering = a recurring email type.
• Their tone (Sie/du, formal/herzlich) — AI drafts must match it.
• A named team member if visible (sign drafts "Ihr Team von [Company]" if none).
• The likely inbox address (info@/office@ from imprint) — shown as the mailbox label.

PHASE 2 — The Inbox-Befund + Thread Plan

2a — Inbox-Befund (top 5 recurring email types)

Write 5 one-liners naming the email types this business receives daily, e.g. for a Therme:

1. Gutschein-Anfragen (Geburtstage, Weihnachten)
2. Gruppen- & Firmenbuchungen mit Preisanfrage
3. Stornierungen & Umbuchungen
4. Fragen zu Öffnungszeiten an Feiertagen
5. Rechnungskopien & Buchhaltungsanfragen

This list goes into (a) the outreach email (befundItems), (b) drives which threads you seed.

2b — Seed 5–7 threads

Thread shape (the create_inbox_demo schema validates sender/email/subject/preview/body):

{
  "sender": "Anna Huber",
  "email": "anna.huber@gmx.at",
  "subject": "Gutschein für 2 Personen — Geburtstagsgeschenk",
  "preview": "Liebes Team, ich möchte meiner Mutter zum 60er …",
  "time": "09:14",
  "unread": true,
  "body": "Liebes Team,\n\nich möchte meiner Mutter …\n\nLiebe Grüße\nAnna Huber",
  "category": { "label": "Gutschein-Anfrage" },
  "suggestedAction": { "action": "reply", "summary": "Antwortentwurf erstellt — Gutschein-Anfrage", "priority": "normal" },
  "aiDraft": "Liebe Frau Huber,\n\nvielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage! …\n\nHerzliche Grüße\nIhr Team von [Company]"
}

Rules:

• action ∈ reply | archive | ticket | forward. Newsletter/Werbung → archive, no aiDraft. Beschwerde/komplexe Fälle → ticket or forward with priority: "high"/"urgent", draft optional.
• 3–4 threads WITH aiDraft (the product proof), 1–2 without (shows triage isn't reply-spam).
• Categories in the prospect's language, 2–4 distinct labels across threads.
• Senders: plausible German/Austrian names, free-mail or company domains. Times: same morning ("08:32", "09:14", "10:05") + one "Gestern".
• Bodies 50–150 words; drafts 60–150 words, in the prospect's tone, signed by their team.

2c — No offers

INBOX demos run WITHOUT offers (Martin, 2026-06-11): do NOT set offerText or offerExpiresAt, do not ask the user for a deadline. The pitch is the Demo-Postfach itself + the Inbox-Test — no discount, no countdown.

Show the plan summary (company, Befund, thread list with categories/actions) and proceed after 5 seconds unless stopped.

PHASE 3 — Build via MCP

One call does everything (no agent, no publish):

{
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "create_inbox_demo",
    "arguments": {
      "companyName": "[Company Name]",
      "companyDomain": "[domain.com]",
      "logoUrl": "[from OpenBrand]",
      "customMessage": "So sieht Ihr Posteingang mit InboxMate aus — wir haben die häufigsten Mail-Typen von [Company] simuliert: vorsortiert, mit fertigen Antwortentwürfen.",
      "language": "de",
      "inboxThreads": [ /* threads from 2b */ ]
    }
  }
}

Save demoId and playgroundUrl. Fixes after review go through update_inbox_demo (full inboxThreads replacement).

PHASE 4 — Verify

WebFetch the playgroundUrl (demo.inboxmate.psquared.dev/?id=<demoId>): company name + logo render, thread list shows categories and action chips, CTA reads "Kostenloses Beratungsgespräch buchen" (meeting-only — no signup button on inbox demos). The API response is at https://app.psquared.dev/api/demo/<demoId> (type: "inbox", inboxThreads populated).

PHASE 5 — CRM Opportunity

curl -s -X POST https://crm.psquared.dev/graphql \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PSQUARED_CRM_TOKEN" \
  -d "{\"query\":\"mutation { createOpportunity(data: { name: \\\"[Company Name] — InboxMate Inbox-Demo\\\", stage: SCREENING, demoStatus: PENDING_REVIEW, demoType: INBOX, demoUrl: { primaryLinkUrl: \\\"[playgroundUrl]\\\" }, companyId: \\\"[companyId]\\\", outreachType: INBOXMATE }) { id name stage demoStatus demoType } }\"}"

demoType: INBOX is what separates this from chatbot demos in /plan-campaign, /setup-email-drafts and the "InboxMate Email Outreach" CRM view. Look up / create the company first if running standalone (same as /inboxmate-demo Phase 5).
