Inbox Pilot 1.2.0 brings two features since 1.0.0: Google Calendar, and rules that run on their own.

Calendar (optional)

  • "Put my flights in my calendar": events from bookings and appointments, with times as the email states them (a flight departs in one time zone and lands in another), the details for the day, and a link back to the email. You click Add on each, with Undo.
  • "Am I free Thursday afternoon?" checks your primary calendar.
  • Nobody is invited; existing events are never changed. Connect it under Settings, Connections.

Rules (optional)

  • Automations you approve once: a Gmail filter, an optional yes/no question ChatGPT answers per email, and fixed actions (label, archive, star, mark read or important, Trash, desktop notification, or a webhook to ntfy, Home Assistant, n8n, Discord or Slack).
  • New mail is handled about once a minute while Chrome is open; mail that arrived while it was closed is caught up later.
  • Test on recent mail shows what a rule would match without changing anything. Daily limits per rule. Activity log with Undo.
  • Create, change, pause or delete rules in Settings, Rules, or by asking in Gmail; every change is a card you confirm.
  • Optional sync between your computers through a hidden app-data folder in your own Google Drive. The browser online longest runs the rules; another takes over within about 3 minutes if it goes quiet.
  • At your ChatGPT plan's usage limit, only rules that ask ChatGPT pause until it resets; nothing is skipped.

Fixes

  • When the extension is updated under an open Gmail tab, the panel now offers Reload Gmail instead of a button that did nothing.
