Creators get dozens of brand emails a week: fair offers, lowballs, and fake "sponsorships" that hide malware in password-protected press kits to hijack channels. This flow screens each email, prices real offers against your rate card, sends the reply you choose and keeps a deal tracker.
new_email (email.RealTimeTrigger, IMAP) starts one run per email in imap_folder; daily (Schedule) runs reminders. Manual runs take an .eml upload.inspect (scripts.python.Script) checks attachments as bytes (programs, double extensions, password-protected archives with programs inside), free-mail senders, lookalike domains, shortened and download links, and Reply-To mismatches on uploaded emails. A redelivered message is skipped.read_offer (ai.completion.ChatCompletion) extracts brand, deliverables, budget, rights, due date and requests to download or run anything; the model ignores instructions in the email.assess compares the sender with the brand's real domain, prices the deliverables with rate_card, and routes (Switch): scam → Slack warning and blocklist; offer → Slack summary and decision (Pause); anything else ends quietly.compose writes a template reply (accept, counter or decline), reply sends it (email.MailSend), and save_deal (kv.Set) tracks it.due flags deliverables due within 3 days, unpaid invoices and unanswered counters; update (Pause) marks deals delivered, paid or closed.{{ outputs.verdict }}, {{ outputs.risk_score }} and {{ outputs.deal_key }}.variables, with your rate_card, creator_name and reply_from.SPONSOR_MAIL_USERNAME and SPONSOR_MAIL_PASSWORD: IMAP and SMTP login, usually the full email address.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: reads the offers (model in variables.claude_model).SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: alerts, offer summaries, reminders and failures.mode (SELECT triage or reminders, default triage), an email (FILE, .eml) and dry_run (BOOL, default false) set to true.decision, and check the reply and the deal.new_email and daily.
