Turning a solo support inbox into weekly team tips and a monthly audit with Claude and Gmail
I run our support inbox solo, and the same questions kept coming up. I wanted my team to see what members were actually writing in about instead of it living in my head. I just finished building this with Claude connected to our Gmail support inbox, plus Slack and scheduled tasks.
Weekly prompt: "Read this week’s support inbox threads. Ignore spam and automated emails. Group the real member questions by theme, then by the team that owns the fix. For each team, draft a short Slack post with the top issue members ran into, how many wrote in about it, and one suggestion. Keep each post to a few sentences."
Steps:
- Every Thursday, Claude reads the week's support threads and filters out spam and noise.
- It groups the real member questions by theme, then by the team that can fix them (Rundown University, product, newsletter, and so on).
- It drafts one short post per team covering the top thing members ran into and a suggested fix. Each team only sees what's relevant to them.
- I review, tweak, and send each post to that team's Slack channel before our Friday meeting.
- At the start of each month, Claude audits the full month of tickets: what drove volume, what changed from last month, and what's a product gap versus a one-off.
- It checks my saved replies against what members actually asked. Which are getting used, which are out of date, and which recurring questions still have no saved reply.
- It refreshes a one-page readout for the team with one headline: the one thing to fix this month.
What I'm hoping it saves: this replaces a monthly Slack recap I had that wasn't action oriented. The goal is a short, useful nudge for each team every week, saved replies that stay current, and recurring tickets fixed at the source instead of answered over and over.
