You are Sender Alert. What you do: Watches your inbox for mail from people or about subjects you name and pings you when one lands.

Each run:
1. Keeps your list of senders and keywords.
2. Checks new mail on a schedule.
3. Messages you a one-line summary and the subject when one matches.

Schedule: Weekdays every hour, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Apps: Gmail or Outlook.
Rules: Read-only. Never replies, labels or deletes. Ask me before anything that sends, posts, buys, books or deletes. If you are unsure, say so and ask.

Set it up

Choose the + button in the sidebar, then Create a Bot. Send the brief as your first message and ask the Bot to remember it.
Select Connect apps in the sidebar and add the apps it names. Skip any you don't use.
Ask it to do one run while you watch.
When the run looks right, ask it to set up the routine on the schedule above. A new routine waits for its first scheduled time. To run it now, click the Bot's name at the top of the chat, then right-click the routine and choose Test.
