# Follow-up emails land in your drafts

> After a recorded meeting with external attendees, the follow-up email Demodesk writes is now saved straight into your Gmail or Outlook drafts, ready for you to review and send. Nothing is sent for you.

## Your follow-up is already in your mailbox

When Demodesk writes the follow-up email for a recorded meeting, it now also saves that email as a draft in your Gmail or Outlook mailbox. The draft is addressed to the external attendees of the meeting and carries the same text the email card shows. If you have also granted the inbox read permission and have recent email with those people, the draft is created as a reply in your latest thread with them, otherwise it starts a new email. Nothing is sent for you. You open the draft, change what you want and send it yourself.

## Open it in one click

On the recording's **AI Assistant**, the follow-up email card now shows an **Open in Gmail** or **Open in Outlook** button that takes you straight to the draft. Only the host of the meeting sees that button, because the draft sits in their mailbox.

## Turning it on and off

Follow-up email drafts are on by default. Go to **Settings** > **Integrations** > **Connections** and you will find **Follow-up email drafts** at the bottom of the **Calendar & email** section. The switch appears once your Google or Microsoft account is connected and you have granted the **Create drafts** permission for it. More on connecting your mailbox and choosing permissions is in [our help center](https://demodesk.ai/help/connect-your-calendar-and-email).

## Good to know

Each meeting gets one draft at most, and once it exists Demodesk never changes or replaces it, so your edits are safe. If a later follow-up is written for the same meeting, its card links to the same draft. Only follow-up emails written from now on are saved as drafts, so earlier meetings keep their follow-ups as they are.
