Send email as me

To connect your email, run connect and sign in to your mail account in the browser it opens:

$ npx startup-builder connect email

Connected mailbox_4   maya@tallyfox.com   held by human_1 (you)

Each account you connect becomes a Channel held by you. An email account is a Mailbox.

To connect LinkedIn, run the same command for it:

$ npx startup-builder connect linkedin

To preview the grant, authorize the Mandate in the try Mode. Scope it by Channel, volume and topics, and set the approval rule for one-way sends:

LIMIT=$(npx startup-builder do Limit.create --json '{"count":40,"period":"day"}' | jq -r '.limit["$id"] | split("/") | last')
npx startup-builder do Mandate.authorize --try --json '{
  "agent": "agent_sales_lead",
  "for": "human_1",
  "verb": "Message.create",
  "channels": ["mailbox_4", "channel_5"],
  "limit": "'"$LIMIT"'",
  "topics": ["follow-ups with firms I met", "demo scheduling"],
  "approve": { "first": 20 },
  "window": "2h",
  "expiresAt": "2027-01-31"
}'

Would authorize agent_sales_lead to send as human_1
  Channels   mailbox_4 (email), channel_5 (LinkedIn)
  Volume     40 a day
  One-way    first 20 sends wait for your Approval, then a 2-hour window
  Floor      Delegated sending, Automation terms (LinkedIn)

To grant it, run the same call without --try. The legal floor rows it names wake and apply to every send.

To review the first sends, list your open Approvals and approve or refuse each draft:

$ npx startup-builder show '/approvals?where=mandate = mandate_7'

A send outside the topics or over the volume becomes an Approval too, whatever the count.

To see everything sent in your name, read the Mandate's Actions:

$ npx startup-builder show /mandates/mandate_7/actions --fields 'via,status,reason,by,for'

via         status    reason           by                 formailbox_4   done                       agent_sales_lead   human_1channel_5   pending   awaitingAction   agent_sales_lead   human_1

To stop every send at once, pause the Mandate. Pending sends hold until you resume:

$ npx startup-builder do Mandate.pause --json '{"mandate":"mandate_7","reason":"Conference week; I reply myself."}'

To end the Mandate, revoke it. New sends are refused, and the Channels stay connected for the next grant.
