Agents need email as a programmable capability — address, auth, send, log — not a browser macro over consumer webmail.
Consumer inboxes break automation, ToS, and brand separation. Spok is built as infrastructure for agent sends.
Why this matters now
Consumer inboxes break automation, ToS, and brand separation. Spok is built as infrastructure for agent sends.

Practical steps
Use these as a checklist. Ship imperfectly, then refine with data.
- Treat mailbox credentials as secrets
- Send plain text for reliability
- Load content server-side (drafts) instead of dumping huge bodies into tool calls
- Respect rate limits
Common mistakes
Avoid these patterns — they show up in almost every underperforming calendar.
- Hardcoding passwords in prompts
- Multipart HTML that stalls SMTP
- Claiming “sent” without ok:true
What to do this week
Pick one action. Consistency beats intensity.
- Read Spok docs on spok.in
