Automated GMX Email Deadline Capture
Every evening, WebRun opens GMX, reads the day's incoming mail for dates, deadlines, and things you agreed to do, records each commitment in an Airtable tracker with its source email, and blocks a private slot in your Google Calendar before the deadline so the work has time booked against it.
How do I stop missing deadlines buried in my email?
WebRun turns email deadlines into booked time. Each evening it reads the day's GMX mail for dates and commitments, logs every one in an Airtable tracker with its sender and due date, and blocks a private Google Calendar slot before the deadline so the work actually gets time.
- Deadlines agreed by email get calendar time the same evening
- Every commitment is tracked with its source email in Airtable
- Nothing is sent to anyone: holds are private and the inbox is untouched

Questions, answered
Will it reply to my email?
No. WebRun reads your GMX inbox and writes nothing back. It never replies, forwards, deletes, or archives a message, so your inbox looks exactly as you left it apart from the commitments now tracked.
Does anyone get a calendar invitation?
No. Every calendar entry is a private hold on your own Google Calendar with no guests attached, so nobody outside your account is notified and no invitation email is sent.
What if it captures something that is not really a commitment?
Delete the Airtable row and the hold, and it will not come back. WebRun checks existing rows and calendar events each night, so a removed item is not recreated on the next run.
