Your Dashboard
The dashboard is your home base after signing in. It answers one question at a glance: what's happening with my email right now? This page tours the dashboard widgets, then points you to the main areas of the app.
At a glance
The top of the dashboard shows four stat cards:
| Stat | What it means |
|---|---|
| Needs Action | Emails that look like they need a reply or action from you. |
| Awaiting Reply | Emails where you're waiting on someone else to respond. |
| Rules Triggered | How many times your automations ran today. |
| Active Rules | How many of your rules are currently switched on. |
The first two cards show a small sparkline — a recent trend line — so you can see whether a number is climbing or settling. Each card links straight to the matching view, so you can go from a number to the actual emails behind it in one click.
Needs Action and Awaiting Reply come from response tracking — see Response tracking.
AI insights
An AI Insights widget surfaces recent AI activity in your inbox. It's on by default, and you can hide it in Settings → Dashboard. See AI Insights.
Recent activity
A running list of your most recent rule executions — which rule fired, on which email, and when. Use View all to open the full Rule Logs, where you can inspect or undo what a rule did.
Quick actions
Shortcut buttons for the things you do most:
- View Inbox — open your mail.
- Check Replies — jump to Needs Action and Awaiting Reply.
- New Rule — start building an automation.
Getting around the app
The dashboard is one stop. Here's the rest of the map:
| Area | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Inbox | Your mail — read, reply, label, archive, and act on messages. See Inbox overview. |
| Replies | Conversations grouped by what they need from you — Needs Action and Awaiting Reply. See Response tracking. |
| Rules | Build, test, and manage your automations. See How rules work. |
| Analytics | What your automations have done, over time. See Analytics. |
| Settings | Connect accounts, tune AI, set scheduling, and more. See Connecting Gmail and Preferences. |
| Help | The in-app Help Center — search help articles, browse by category, and read FAQs. |
| Roadmap | See what's being built — Now Working On, Planned, Shipped, and Under Review — and vote for the features you want. |
Command palette
Anywhere in the app, press Cmd + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows / Linux) to open the command palette. Type where you want to go or what you want to open — go to rules, API keys — and pick it from the list, without reaching for the mouse. (Email actions like archive aren't in the palette — use the toolbar or keyboard shortcuts.)
To search your mail instead, press / in the Inbox or Replies to jump to the search box.

Make it yours
The dashboard is customizable. You can:
- Show or hide each widget (stats, AI insights, recent activity, quick actions).
- Choose a layout density — compact or comfortable.
- Turn on auto-refresh and pick a refresh interval.
You'll find these under Preferences.
If Gmail isn't connected yet, the dashboard shows a prompt to connect it. Start with the Quick Start or the setup walkthrough.
