Actions: your assistant can now act on its own

Set a simple rule once and Deck runs it every time a matching email lands: it can notify you, draft a reply, or summarize on its own.

Team DeckAI Email Assistant

Deck can now act on its own. Until now your assistant waited for you: you CC'd it or forwarded a thread, and it did the work. With Actions you set a simple rule once, and it runs every time a matching email lands, without you asking. You tell it what to watch for and what to do, and the result comes back to you.

An Action has two parts. First the trigger: an email from a particular person, a document showing up as an attachment, or a phrase like "NDA" turning up in a message. Then what your assistant should do about it: send you a heads-up, draft a reply you can send, write you a short summary, or follow an instruction you write yourself. Name it, switch it on, and you're set. A good first one is "when someone mentions an NDA, flag it for me," so nothing slips past while you're heads-down. You can edit or turn off any Action whenever you like, from Settings.

This changes what the assistant is for. It already drafted, filed, and remembered; now it keeps an eye on the inbox for the handful of things you care about and moves on them the moment they happen, instead of waiting to be asked. The judgment stays with you: a drafted follow-up is yours to send, and results come only to you. Actions are available now on Deck Pro. Open Settings → Actions and add your first one.
