Summary
Nate Herk walks through two Grok Bot automation setups: a simple scheduled inbox manager that runs twice daily, and a more advanced configuration that gives a Grok Bot its own email address so it can wake up and act whenever it receives a message. The second setup underpins a live multi-agent trading workflow where a GPT-6 Astra research agent sends buy and sell recommendations via email to a separate Grok Bot called Trader, which then executes them — a practical example of agent-to-agent communication through email as a coordination layer.
The inbox manager, which Herk named Nat, is configured through a plain-language conversation with the bot defining routing rules for five categories: Primary, Urgent, Outreach, Newsletters, and Notifications. The bot labels emails, marks urgent ones as read, and sends a ClickUp DM twice daily summarizing what came in. Herk estimates setup takes five to ten minutes and walks through every step, including connecting Gmail via the Grock Bot marketplace.
The agent mail setup requires more steps: connecting an Agent Mail credential, creating a webhook-triggered routine, and linking the webhook URL and key so Grock Bot and Agent Mail can handshake. Herk hits a bug mid-recording when a Grock Bot desktop app update changes the webhook UI, and returns the next day after the update resolves it — an honest moment that doubles as a tip to keep the desktop app current. Both setups are demoed end to end with real running accounts.
