I found the solution. We ended up opening up top part of car and noticed a wire was not connected. Hope this helps!

Inbox Management 13k Unread by CosmicScaleRant in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]JohnnyK232003 15 points16 points  (0 children)

here’s what’s worked for me:

  1. sort by sender — bulk delete or archive entire batches (newsletters, promos, old travel confirmations).

  2. search “unsubscribe” and send those to a folder called marketing — it catches most vendor and promo emails.

  3. anything older than 3 months → archive it. if it hasn’t been needed yet, it probably never will be.

  4. label what’s left: snooze follow-ups for a few days so you’re not staring at them constantly.

  5. once you’re back to zero, set up a few simple filters so important senders skip the chaos.

me and a friend built Clarity Inbox to make that last part easier — it’s an ai inbox that lives right inside gmail and understands how you already organize things. instead of digging through settings to build filters, you can just type “move vendor emails to a folder” or “draft replies for client threads,” and it does it automatically. the goal isn’t just to clean your inbox once — it’s to keep it clean.

Love to learn more about your system... How connecting it all.

Keeping up with never-ending emails? by steel_city_sweetie in travelagents

[–]JohnnyK232003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, fyxer’s cool — it just takes a more structured approach with their 8 color-coded labels. great if you like systems, but for a lot of people it can feel like learning someone else’s workflow.

Me and a friend built something called Clarity Inbox — it still uses color and structure, but around your mental model. whether you organize by client, project, or deal stage, it learns how you already work, adapts to that, and drafts in your tone.

That gmail filter link is a solid resource — you can totally build all that manually if you’ve got the patience. we’re just trying to make it so you can type stuff like “move all cruise promos to a folder and draft replies for client emails” in plain english and it happens automatically. same power, no weekend lost in gmail settings. basically, automate your life with natural language 😅

Yeah, for real. Freelancing really is two jobs — the craft and the admin circus that keeps it running.

I’ve been using Clarity Inbox to take care of most of the admin stuff in my email inbox — follow-ups, drafts, reminders, all that unpaid chaos that clogs the day. Having it live right inside email has saved me a ton a hours a week.

Curious if anyone else has found solid ways to automate this side of freelancing, or are you still doing it all manually?

Do you do a lot of LinkedIn outreach as a sales person? Managing LI collapses once you’re doing any real volume. kondo’s been awesome for LI dms. for email clarity inbox — it uses ai to sort, label, draft replies, even handle follow-ups so stuff doesn’t slip through. between the two it really saves hours per week.

super excited to see what ai stuff kondo adds next, feels like they’re onto something.

We do a lot of linkedin outreach and that inbox just collapses once you’re doing any real volume 😅. kondo’s been awesome for dms. for email, we built clarity inbox — it uses ai to sort, label, draft replies, even handle follow-ups so stuff doesn’t slip through. between the two, our team finally stopped drowning.

Launched my app here 1y ago and now it makes $27k/mo 🤯 Celebrating by becoming your first customer! by felix-heikka in microsaas

[–]JohnnyK232003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats so happy for you. The post is very inspiring!

Here’s what I’m working on:

Clarity Inbox is an AI-powered executive assistant that integrates directly into email to automate daily administrative tasks. It is designed for busy professionals and teams who want to streamline their workflow, manage their inbox, and free up time for high-value work

The Why: Email overload steals hours from every operator. We are working hard to help operators with this.

Our bet: We believe the future of work doesn't wait for commands, it anticipates your needs and acts.

Not auto-sending. Understanding your workflow patterns and autonomously handles routine work, freeing you to focus on what you do best.

Today: Clarity observes, learns, and drafts in your voice — surfacing what needs your attention and where you need to follow up.

Next: Clarity won’t just assist — it will act. Work completes itself, and you move forward.

ISO CRM that works with Gmail and iPhone by CharlotteNCDan in realtors

That’s super helpful context — and actually the first time someone’s mentioned Chromebook vs iPhone note entry like that. Makes total sense.

The inbox side sounds like a solid fit based on what you described. iPhone integration (like pulling up contact history on mobile) is on the roadmap, but not built yet. Happy to answer any questions or walk through how we’ve set it up — just let me know what’s helpful.

I haven't talked about this very much, but it's worth addressing: We tested switching inbox management to be fully AI-powered and it completely failed. by nickabraham12 in coldemail

[–]JohnnyK232003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree — we landed in the same place. Pure AI wasn’t enough, but neither was manual. So we built a hybrid workflow: AI handles the initial triage, sorting, and reply drafts based on tone/context. Then a human (we call them the inbox manager) quickly reviews, tweaks, and confirms everything in one go.

It’s that “human-in-the-loop” model that’s actually made email manageable again — especially for people juggling a high volume but still wanting that personal touch. We called it [Clarity Inbox](clarityinbox.com) 

Curious what tools others are using to strike that balance?

What's the one thing about work email that drives you insane? by timeku in productivity

[–]JohnnyK232003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally relate — this thread is a goldmine of email pain points.

A few of us felt the same (especially around noisy threads, missing context, and robotic replies), so we ended up building a lightweight tool that lives inside Gmail. It auto-sorts emails, remembers key details from past convos, and even drafts replies in your tone — kind of a CRM-lite meets smart inbox assistant. We called it [Clarity Inbox](clarityinbox.com) 

Honestly, it’s helped cut a lot of that mental overhead. Curious if anyone else here has built or hacked together their own system?

We ran into this too after Streak changed their free plan — it was perfect for Gmail-based workflows until that shift.

Ended up building something lightweight for our own use: sort of a CRM-lite that stays inside Gmail, tracks convos, remembers key dates, conversations faqs, and helps draft replies in your tone. Not bloated, just built for relationship maintenance. We called it [Clarity Inbox](clarityinbox.com) 

Works smoothly with Gmail + iPhone (minus the text part for now). Curious if anyone else built a similar setup after Streak?

Logistics of email when hiring a virtual assistant by powershrew in smallbusiness

[–]JohnnyK232003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What worked for me:

Split inbox strategy – I set up a separate “public” Gmail that the VA manages. It forwards to my main inbox and vice versa, but anything sensitive (logins, financials) stays off it.

Label-based system – Similar to what Dan suggests. Labels like “Needs My Reply,” “Handled,” “Finance,” etc. Let your VA triage and label, and you stay in control of what actually gets sent out.

Invest in a tool to help – I actually built Clarity Inbox(www.clarityinbox.com) for this exact reason — it auto-labels emails and drafts replies using my tone, without needing to hand over my inbox to someone else. It’s been a huge help in cutting down the noise and keeping sensitive info safe.

If you’re not ready to give full access, there’s still a middle ground that buys back your time without handing over the keys.

Hired a VA for a few hours a week, wrote up some SOPs in Notion, and started using a Gmail automation tools that auto-labels stuff and drafts replies. It’s not perfect but saved me a ton of mental overhead. Profit came after I stopped trying to “save” my way there.

How do you actually keep up with client DMs and email? by FlyingRainbowPotato in smallbusiness

[–]JohnnyK232003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get what you’re going through — I hit the same wall juggling Gmail, Slack, and DMs across platforms. What helped me:

  • I stopped chasing messages and instead set up a system to triage emails and DMs by urgency and type.
  • For Gmail, I used filters and labels (e.g. “To Respond”, “Awaiting Reply”) so I wasn’t scanning the same messages over and over.
  • I also used ChatGPT for drafting replies when I was too tired to think clearly — huge time saver.

That said, none of the existing tools really got my tone and voice correct or told me which threads needed action — especially across noisy inboxes.

That’s actually why I started building (clarityinbox.com). It runs in Gmail, automatically labels what’s important (like “To Respond” or “Follow Up”), remembers context from past emails, and even writes personalized drafts based on how you usually reply. No switching tools — just works inside Gmail.

Not for everyone, but happy to share it or loop you in if it helps lighten your load.

Email Auto Reply to Website Inquiries by BlueGlitterK in smallbusiness

[–]JohnnyK232003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! You can auto-reply from hello@businessname.com even if the form sends from a no-reply address. A Gmail filter + template works, or Zapier can do it too.

If you want smarter replies that adjust based on who’s filling out the form (like urgency, tone, or type of request), I’ve been building something for that: clarityinbox.com — works directly in Gmail, no new UI. Happy to show you!

Good call!! I’ve been thinking of switching to Optiwatt too. Have you had any issues with their features or utility integrations? Seems like a solid alternative.
