How a Mailbot can cut your email time by 50% (or more) ?
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Every workday often starts the same way: opening your inbox and spending hours inside it. Studies show that the average employee spends 2.5 to 3 hours a day managing emails—reading, sorting, answering, following up. Necessary tasks, yes, but also time-consuming and mentally draining.
The result? Information overload, stress, and lost time that could have been spent on high-value projects.
This is where a new generation of tools comes in: the mailbot.
A mailbot is a smart assistant that automates a large part of email management—classifying incoming messages, drafting replies, or suggesting ready-to-use answers. The promise is simple: save hours every week and lighten the mental load caused by your inbox.
1- What is a Mailbot?
A mailbot is a virtual assistant designed to simplify and automate email management. Unlike an auto-reply or basic inbox rules, a mailbot uses AI to understand the content of each email and suggest the right action.
Here’s what a mailbot can do:
- Read and sort emails by priority or topic
- Generate draft replies you can approve or tweak in seconds
- Suggest actions such as archiving, forwarding, or scheduling follow-ups
- Handle repetitive requests automatically, so nothing gets forgotten
In short, it’s not just a productivity tool. It’s an AI assistant that learns and adapts to your habits, reducing the daily burden of emails.
2- The real benefits of a Mailbot
A mailbot doesn’t just promise efficiency --> it delivers measurable results.
➡️ Save time: cut email management by up to 50%
According to Formstack’s Workflow Automation Statistics, 60% of employees could save 30% of their time thanks to automation. Some teams even report up to 17 hours saved per week by automating repetitive processes.
➡️ Boost productivity: focus on what matters
When routine email tasks are automated, teams can spend more time on strategic work that requires creativity and critical thinking.
➡️ Fewer mistakes: consistent, reliable replies
With predefined models and smart rules, a mailbot ensures every response matches your brand voice and guidelines, reducing errors and inconsistencies.
➡️ Better employee experience: less stress, less overload
An overflowing inbox is one of the top stress factors at work. Automating part of that flow eases the mental load and restores balance.
3- Seamless integration with your tools
A mailbot doesn’t work in isolation—it integrates directly with your existing workflows.
- Microsoft 365 (Outlook): analyze incoming emails, classify them, and generate ready-to-send drafts, all within Outlook.
- Google Workspace (Gmail): the same logic applies to Gmail with intelligent sorting and contextual replies.
With Ideta, you can build your own mailbot using the AI engine of your choice (Microsoft, OpenAI, Mistral, etc.). And it’s not just for email: mailbots can also connect to your ticketing platforms (Jira, Zendesk) or CRM for a unified experience.

5- Example: Mailbot with Microsoft 365
In a Microsoft 365 setup, incoming emails are analyzed, categorized, and transformed into draft replies by AI. You simply validate or edit the draft, then send via Outlook. The process is seamless and efficient.
6- Real-World Use Cases
Mailbots can adapt to almost any industry:
- Customer support: automate FAQs, delivery tracking, or service requests, while routing complex issues to agents
- Human Resources: answer employee questions about payroll, leave, or policies, and manage candidate emails during recruitment
- Public services & government: streamline citizen requests, forms, and appointments with faster replies
- Commerce & B2B: handle orders, send quotes, confirm shipments, or follow up with prospects
In every case, the mailbot works as a smart filter that saves time while keeping responses fast and consistent.
7- ROI and Long-Term Impact
A mailbot is more than a comfort tool—it’s a real investment.
- Fast ROI: an employee who spends 3 hours a day on email can save over 350 hours a year, that’s about 45 working days.
- Stronger impact: those saved days can be reinvested into customer relationships or strategic initiatives.
- Future-proof automation: mailbots are part of a broader ecosystem,
- Chatbots for web and messaging apps
- Mailbots for email
- Callbots for phone conversations
Together, they pave the way for end-to-end automation of interactions.
8. Conclusion
