See DeskFerry automate follow-ups
A live look at the agent doing the work — not a feature list.
Proposal I sent Acme last week has gone quiet — follow up.
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Why DeskFerry is better for follow-ups
Re: DeskFerry proposal — anything I can clarify?
Prepared and waiting on your approval
Outside the agent's confidence — your call
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.
