Hi, I’d love to create a draft in gmail. The idea is to click on a conversation and the draft sits there, ready to send.

Is that possible?

It’s certainly possible to create draft emails in Gmail with Make. The main question is, is there a particular type of email that you receive that you’d usually be wanting to prepare automatic drafts for?

Anything that can help “identify” which received emails you want to have create a draft for will help reduce unnecessary drafts from being created.

For example, you can have a Make scenario that starts with a Gmail “Watch emails” module. You can specify the filter to look for emails which have a particular label applied. Then you can add a 2nd Gmail module “Create a draft email” that connects on from the first module, allowing you to create a draft email automatically.

Then your workflow in Gmail is to apply that particular label to any email you want to have a draft created for, and Make will do the rest.

@XenoMax,

I think the OP wants to create a draft as reply-to for any incoming emails, I need to check if that is possible to do through API as the existing Create a Draft module doesn’t allow to do that.

I’d like this feature as well. Zapier has one called “Create draft reply” in gmail and use the thread ID to create the draft reply to that specific email
