Lindy.ai: An Inconvenient Email Drafting Experience

·
·

I was initially excited about using this to help me with email, but at this point it's just a gimmick. The inability to have the draft reply be "in the thread" means that my email workflow would have to change to involve going to lindy.ai when I want to reply to an email, and also the inability to edit the email in Lindy would mean copy/pasting it back to outlook and then changing it up....at which point, I might as well have just written it myself. To be useful for helping draft email replies, Lindy would need to be capable of putting the draft reply in as a "draft" within the "thread" of the email. Making me leave Outlook/Gmail to interact with the output doesn't work.

    Hey Zac, thx for the feedback! So you’re saying you can’t draft email replies in the same thread? Have you tried the Send Reply action in Gmail? → Just activate the toggle Save as draft and it will be created in the same thread.

    Marvin A. I'll make a video the next time I have a minute to show you what I mean, and you can tell me if I'm doing it wrong or if its just how it functions...
