Automated Email Auto-Reply for Business Inquiries

MoClaw monitors your inbox for cooperation and quotation requests, auto-replies with your pricing, and notifies you when someone accepts.

I've received a lot of duplicate emails from people asking for cooperation and quotations. My price is $500 for a 5-8 minute service, and $200 for a short one. From now on, you reply to these kinds of emails every day on your own. Then, when the other party agrees to my quotation, remind me.

I need to save the pricing to memory, write a reply template, then set up a Gmail scan that runs twice daily — detecting cooperation and quotation keywords, auto-replying, deduplicating, and monitoring responses for acceptance signals.

Automated email response system is now active.

What I've set up:

  • Schedule: Twice daily — 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM
  • Detection: Scans for cooperation, collaboration, quotation, pricing, and business inquiry keywords
  • Auto-reply template:

Thank you for reaching out regarding cooperation.

Here is my pricing structure:

  • 5-8 minute service: $500
  • Short service: $200

Please let me know which option works for you, and we can move forward.

  • Duplicate prevention: Logs every replied email — never contacts the same person twice
  • Acceptance monitoring: Watches follow-up replies for agree, accept, yes, confirmed — notifies you instantly

Want me to run a scan right now to catch up on any emails from today?

That's great, thanks! Can you also add a line in the reply mentioning that I offer a 10% discount for repeat clients?
MoClaw 12:40

Update the pricing-template.md to append the repeat-client discount line, then reload the template into the running automation.

Done. The template now includes:

Repeat clients enjoy a 10% discount on all services.

This applies to all auto-replies starting from the next scheduled run at 4:00 PM today. Let me know if you'd like to adjust anything else.

Automated Email Auto-Reply for Business Inquiries FAQ

How does MoClaw automatically reply to business inquiry emails?

MoClaw connects to your Gmail account and scans your inbox on a schedule you define. It identifies emails containing keywords related to cooperation, quotations, and business inquiries. When a match is found, it sends a reply using your custom pricing template. It also tracks which emails have been replied to so it never sends duplicate responses.

Can I customize the auto-reply pricing template for email responses?

Absolutely. You can fully customize the reply template in plain English. Change your pricing, add discount offers, include links to your portfolio, or adjust the tone of voice. Just tell MoClaw what you want to change, and it updates the template immediately. You can also set different templates for different types of inquiries.

What email providers and notification channels does the auto-reply system support?

Currently, MoClaw works with Gmail through the Google Workspace connector. Notifications about client acceptances can be delivered via Telegram, email, or directly within the MoClaw platform. Support for Outlook and other email providers is on the roadmap.

How often does MoClaw check my inbox for new quotation requests?

You choose the schedule. The default setup checks twice daily, but you can configure it to run hourly, every few hours, or even once a day. Just tell MoClaw your preferred frequency, and it adjusts the automation accordingly. You can also trigger a manual scan at any time.

Can I use the email auto-reply system with other email sources besides Gmail?

MoClaw currently supports Gmail through its Google Workspace connector. If you use other platforms, you can forward emails to your Gmail account as a workaround. Direct support for Outlook, Yahoo, and custom IMAP servers is planned for future updates.

Is MoClaw's automated email reply better than using Gmail filters or canned responses?

Gmail filters and canned responses are limited to exact keyword matching and send the same static reply every time. MoClaw uses AI to understand the intent of each email, avoid false positives like newsletters, and intelligently track conversations. It also monitors for acceptance replies and notifies you, something Gmail filters simply cannot do.

How much does MoClaw's automated email response system cost?

MoClaw offers a free tier that includes basic automation capabilities, so you can try the auto-reply system at no cost. For higher frequency scanning, more email volume, and advanced features like multi-template support, paid plans are available. Check the MoClaw pricing page for the latest details.

Can I combine automated email replies with other MoClaw automations like CRM updates?

Yes, MoClaw automations can be combined. For example, you can set up the auto-reply system alongside a task that logs every inquiry into a Google Sheet or notifies your team on Slack. When a client accepts your quote, MoClaw can trigger follow-up actions like creating a calendar event or updating your project tracker.

Why AI-Powered Email Auto-Reply for Business Inquiries?
