Unanswered email tracker with Devin
Devin wrote a Gmail function to find emails needing a reply, built a front end, tested it locally, and deployed it to a public link.
Within one night Devin produced a working unanswered-emails interface using the Gmail API, after the author wrote the authentication code themselves.
Overview
How it was set up
Devin with the Gmail API. Author handled authentication in Cursor. Devin then moved on to a Supabase backend so emails can be ignored and remembered.
Worth knowing
Devin struggled with authentication, so the author wrote it themselves. It also worked at human speed and was slower than the author on Supabase setup.
A prompt to start from
Create a function that finds emails from the past [time window] that I still need to respond to, and make sure they are in my Primary inbox.Written by Agentic Feats from the source. Not the author's exact prompt.
