You can create a Custom Assistant with a unique name and email address. You can then write to that assistant instead of [email protected].
This allows for a more personalized assistant who only works for you.
Custom Assistants are available to Premium users only. If you're not a Premium user, upgrade today!
Step 1: Create a new email Gmail or Outlook account.
Set up the desired email address, name, and avatar. These are controlled directly from Google/Microsoft.
You can either name your assistant Skej ([email protected]), or you can use any name you want.
You can leave Secondary Email and Phone Number blank. It should look like the screenshot below, and once complete, click Add New User.
Use the generated password and store it somewhere safe like a password manager. At this point, this is just a new, normal blank email account.
Step 2: Add Youself and Your Team to the Address Book (IMPORTANT)
In order to prevent your messages from going to spam, you should add yourself and your Skej teammates to the address book of the new account. Go to your Contacts, click Create Contact and then add Multiple Contacts.
Add your email address, and the email addresses of your team either manually or as a CSV file. This ensures your new assistant knows to respond to you, and messages do not go to spam.
Step 3: Connect using OAuth in the Skej dashboard.
Go to the Skej dashboard and click on Assistants in the left navigation bar. You'll see a "Custom Assistant" card.
Click on "Custom Assistant Setup".
Step 4. Connect to your account
Click on Connect Google Account and authorize the various permissions needed in order for Skej to read and send emails from this email address.
Disclaimer: Since this feature is currently in Beta, and you may see a warning from Google that looks like this:
It just means that this feature has not gone through Google's verification process. It will be approved once Custom Assistants are out of beta.
Click "Go to Skej (unsafe)" to continue. (It is safe!)
Step 5. Customize Personality & Email Signature
If you choose to do so, you can customize your assistant's personality and/or email signature.
Step 6. You're all set!
That's it! Your new assistant is set up.
You can now email your new Custom Assistant at the custom email address and use it just like you would use Skej otherwise.
You should address your Custom Assistant by their new name.
Disclaimer & Warning:
Once the Google/Microsoft account is set up, you will not ever need to access that email inbox again.
Never manually send emails from that email address or impersonate Skej.
If we are notified that there are emails being sent manually from that inbox, we will immediately terminate the connection to the account and may terminate your Skej account.
