You can turn forwarding-to-AI into something that runs on its own. Set a rule in your email client to auto-forward certain messages to free@forwardloops.com, and a ready-to-send draft appears in the thread without you doing anything. Here is how to set it up · and how to keep it safe.

What an AI auto-reply by email actually is

It is important to be precise about “auto-reply”, because it does not mean what an out-of-office does. ForwardLoops drafts a reply back to you and threads it onto the conversation. It does not send anything to the other person on your behalf. So an AI auto-reply here means: the draft is written for you automatically, and you still press send. That keeps you in control and avoids the classic auto-responder disasters.

Set it up in Gmail (a filter)

  1. Open Settings then Filters and Blocked Addresses then Create a new filter.
  2. Add a condition · a specific sender, or words in the subject line.
  3. Click Create filter, then tick Forward it to and add free@forwardloops.com. Gmail verifies the address once.
  4. Save the filter.

Every matching email is now forwarded automatically, and a draft reply comes back for you to review.

Set it up in Outlook (a rule)

  1. Open Settings then Rules (or Manage Rules and Alerts in classic Outlook).
  2. Add a condition · sender or subject keyword.
  3. Set the action to Forward to and enter free@forwardloops.com.
  4. Save.

If the rule will not save, your organisation may block external auto-forwarding · that is an admin policy, not a ForwardLoops limit. Manual forwarding still works in that case.

Keep it safe and useful

  • Start narrow. Auto-forward one sender or one keyword first. Watch the drafts for a few days.
  • Set your voice once. Tone, length, reply language, and signature live in the dashboard, so every auto-draft sounds like you.
  • You always send. Nothing leaves your hands automatically · review each draft before it goes.
  • Privacy holds. ForwardLoops keeps zero email content, even on auto-forwarded mail.

FAQ

Does this send replies automatically to the other person?

No. It drafts the reply back to you. You review and send it yourself.

Why will my Outlook or Gmail rule not save?

Many organisations block external auto-forwarding by policy. Ask your admin, or forward manually instead.

Can I auto-forward to pro@ for important mail?

Yes. Point the rule at pro@forwardloops.com on the paid plan to use the most capable models.

Is auto-forwarded mail stored?

No. ForwardLoops keeps zero email content regardless of how the mail arrived.
