Answer first: Connect your email, then ask Grok Bot to "every Friday at 4pm, summarize this week's emails about <topic> into a short report." It saves a weekly routine that reads your mail and hands you a draft. Nothing gets sent unless you press Send.

Test status: drafted from Grok Bot's documented routine and connector features. Not tested end to end against a real inbox yet.

Who it's for

Managers who write weekly updates, freelancers tracking client threads, and anyone who rebuilds the same summary from their inbox every week.

Steps

  1. Connect your Gmail or Outlook when Grok Bot offers the connect card.
  2. Choose the topic, sender, or label the report should cover.
  3. Paste the prompt below.
  4. Grok Bot saves a weekly routine and confirms the day and time.
  5. Every week, read the report. If you asked for an email version, review the draft card and press Send yourself.

Copy-paste prompt

Every Friday at 4pm, read my emails from the past 7 days about <TOPIC / FROM SENDER>.
Write a short report: key updates, decisions, open questions, and next steps.
If I want to share it, draft it as an email to <RECIPIENT> for me to review. Don't send it.

Expected result

  • A weekly routine is listed in Grok Bot.
  • Each Friday you get a concise summary in chat.
  • If you asked for one, a draft email card waits for your approval.

Gotchas

  • Time zone: "Friday at 4pm" follows Settings → Bot → Timezone.
  • The first run waits for the next Friday. Press Test to see a sample report right away. A test does real work and uses part of your plan's usage.
  • Narrow the scope. "All my email" makes vague reports. Name a sender, label or keyword.
  • Draft cards don't send themselves. If you don't press Send, the report never leaves.
  • Account choice: if both Gmail and Outlook are connected, it asks which one to send from.

FAQ

Will it email people on its own? No. Outgoing email goes through a draft card that you approve.

Which email services work? Gmail and Outlook, through their connectors.

Can I change the schedule? Yes. Just say "move my weekly report to Monday 9am."
