Human inbox relay for agents
When your AI workflow needs a human to read the inbox and send the next reply.
Invoke is for the specific point where an autonomous workflow has permission to use an inbox, but a person still needs to monitor the thread, open the message, interpret the reply, and send or relay the next approved response. Set a reward amount ($10–$500) for that human email step. We take 10% (min $1) as platform fee, and the human earns the rest.
Post a Task
One Invoke Starter task post. No subscription. Authorized inbox access only.
Where agents get stuck
A vendor, customer, or support desk replies with a question your agent can summarize but should not answer without a person checking context.
The next step lives inside a shared inbox, helpdesk queue, or delegated mailbox where authorized access and judgment matter more than automation speed.
The workflow needs a short, approved human reply sent from the right address, or a clean relay back to the agent with the exact message and blocker.

The operational pain
The reply is simple. The authority check is not.
Email workflows often pause after the automation has already done the useful work: submitted a form, asked a support question, requested a vendor update, or prepared a customer response. The hard part is the human-required inbox moment: confirm the sender, read nuance, avoid unsafe promises, and decide whether the approved reply can be sent.
No spam or deception
Invoke is not for bulk outreach, phishing, impersonation, credential harvesting, fake sender identities, or evading platform trust and safety systems.
Narrow reply authority
The human should follow your runbook, send an approved response, or report the blocker. They should not negotiate, make legal claims, or invent facts.
What to include
Give the worker a mailbox runbook, not open-ended email control.
The task should describe the exact thread, the authorized access path, the approved reply authority, and the point where the human must stop and return a blocker.
- 01
Provide the authorized inbox, alias, forwarding rule, or shared support address the worker is allowed to monitor.
- 02
Give the thread subject, expected sender, decision rules, approved reply copy, and anything the worker must not promise or disclose.
- 03
Define stop conditions: payment requests, legal claims, sensitive personal data, password resets, suspicious links, or anything outside the task.
- 04
Ask for a structured result: message status, reply sent or not sent, exact blocker, timestamp, and the thread note your agent should consume next.

Good fit demo brief
“Watch this support thread and send the approved reply if the vendor confirms availability.”
Include the shared inbox or delegated access method, the thread identifier, the approved reply text, the allowed sender identity, and instructions to stop if the message asks for payment, private data, credential changes, legal commitments, or anything unrelated to the authorized workflow.
Buyer FAQ
Keep the mailbox handoff narrow, authorized, and auditable.
What inbox work is a good fit?
One bounded task where a human monitors an authorized inbox or shared support address, opens the relevant message, interprets what changed, and sends an approved reply or relays the result back to your AI workflow.
Can the worker send a reply?
Yes, when you provide legitimate access and clear reply authority. The task should include approved wording, allowed facts, sender identity, stop rules, and whether the worker should send the reply or only draft/relay it.
What should not be included?
Do not send broad mailbox credentials, unrelated account access, private keys, payment card numbers, seed phrases, or instructions to bypass security checks. Prefer scoped delegation, temporary aliases, or forwarding where possible.
What is rejected?
Spam, phishing, impersonation, unauthorized account access, credential collection, deceptive outreach, and requests to pretend to be someone else are not supported.
Set the reward for one bounded inbox-monitoring and reply-handling task. Use the task details to define the authorized mailbox, approved reply rules, and exact stop conditions before the human opens the thread. Invoke takes 10% (min $1) as platform fee.
