Fyxer automatically generates drafts for emails labeled To Respond, but you can also request a draft manually at any time. Manual drafting is helpful when Fyxer doesn't automatically create a reply or when you want to fine-tune how it responds.
When to Use Manual Drafting
Manual draft requests are useful when:
You archived or snoozed an email before Fyxer could draft
You already replied and want help drafting an additional follow-up
The message didn't meet auto-draft criteria (too short, vague, or no clear action)
You want to test how Fyxer handles tone, phrasing, or specific instructions
You want a draft for an automated or system-generated message
How to Request a Manual Draft
1. Forward the email to Fyxer
Open the email you want help with
Forward it to [email protected]
In the message body, type:
draft(Optional) Add instructions to guide the tone or content
Example: draft — short, friendly reply confirming the deadline
2. Where your draft appears
Fyxer will generate a reply and place it:
Back in the original email thread, if Conversation View is enabled
In your Drafts folder, if Conversation View is disabled
Most drafts arrive within a few minutes.
Tips for Best Results
Include helpful instructions - Guidance like tone ("polite but firm"), context, or key points improves accuracy
Use Conversation View - Turn on Conversation View in Gmail/Outlook so the draft appears in the correct thread
Avoid forwarding the same email multiple times - This can result in duplicate drafts
Drafting automated emails - Auto-generated messages normally don't trigger drafts - but forwarding them with "draft" will create one
