Email Chatbot Trained On Your Own Content

Your inbox keeps filling up with the same questions: pricing, hours, how-to, where's my order, can you do X. FastBots is an AI chatbot that connects to your support and sales mailboxes, reads each incoming email, and drafts a reply from your trained content. With live internet search or a Zapier workflow turned on, it also behaves more like an AI agent: gathering information, routing details to your team, and only escalating the emails that genuinely need a human.

Really Common Questions About Email

What is an email chatbot?

An email chatbot reads inbound emails sent to a connected business mailbox, drafts a reply using your own trained content, and either sends it automatically or queues it for a person to approve. It works on the same knowledge base as your website chatbot: so the answers are consistent across channels.

How does FastBots reply to emails?

You connect one or more inbound addresses, like support@ or sales@. When a new email arrives, FastBots writes a draft from your website pages, documents and FAQs. You choose whether drafts send straight away or wait for a one-click human review inside the FastBots dashboard.

Can it handle attachments?

Yes, both directions. Customers can attach PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, text files and images up to 25 MB each. You can attach files of your own (PDFs, Word, Excel, images and more) to outgoing replies, up to 10 MB per file.

Which plan do I need?

Email Replies is on the Business plan at $89/month and above. The free plan lets you train a chatbot on your content and test it through the website widget before you upgrade to connect mailboxes.

Warum FastBots?

Why Use FastBots with Email

Auto-Drafts Replies From Your Own Content

Every inbound email gets a draft written from your website, documents and FAQs: not generic AI output. The bot stays on-message because it only knows what you've trained it on.

Human Approval Mode For Sensitive Replies

Switch on human-in-the-loop and every draft waits in a queue. Your team reads the customer's email, attachments and the AI draft on one screen, then edits or sends in one click.

Or Send Automatically When You Trust It

Once your tone and answers are tight, flip a single mailbox to auto-send. Common questions get answered in seconds without a human touching them.

Multiple Mailboxes, One Trained Bot

Connect support@ and sales@ (and more) to the same chatbot. They all draw from the same trained knowledge, so the answers stay consistent no matter which inbox the email lands in.

Separate Prompt For Email Tone

Your website chat can be warm and conversational while email replies stay formal and concise. The email-specific prompt shapes tone, length and sign-off without touching the main chatbot.

Reads Customer Attachments Safely

Inbound PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets and images are stored and displayed alongside the customer's message. Executables, scripts and archives are filtered out automatically.

Start New Email Threads From Inside FastBots

Team members can compose a fresh outbound email to any customer: subject, rich-text body, attachments. If a previous thread exists, the message is appended; if not, a new thread starts.

Verhält sich eher wie ein KI-Agent

Layer in live internet search or a Zapier or Make workflow and the bot becomes agentic: looking things up, pushing captured details into your CRM, or flagging emails that need a real person.

Reale Szenarien

Wo es sich bezahlt macht

First-Pass Triage On Shared Inboxes

Drafts replies to the predictable questions hitting support@ and sales@, so your team only opens the emails that actually need judgement.

After-Hours Email Cover

Emails that arrive overnight or at the weekend get an answer based on your trained content, instead of sitting unread until Monday morning.

New-Customer Sales Enquiries

Answers pricing, scope and availability questions from your sales pages, then captures the lead details and emails them to the right person on your team.

Refund, Returns And Policy Questions

Replies from your written policy pages so the wording stays consistent and your team doesn't keep rewriting the same paragraph.

Onboarding And How-To Emails

Customer emails like "how do I do X" get a clean reply pulled from your help docs, with the option to attach a PDF guide automatically.

Outbound Follow-Up From The Team

Staff compose fresh outbound emails from inside FastBots with attachments, keeping the full conversation history in one place rather than scattered across personal inboxes.

Repetitive Vendor And Supplier Replies

If you keep sending the same answers to stock, lead time or order questions, the bot can draft those for you and a human can approve before sending.

Agency Inboxes On Behalf Of Clients

Agencies on the Reseller plan can run an email chatbot trained on each client's content under their own brand, with separate mailboxes per client.

How FastBots Compares For Email

Most teams trying to keep up with their inbox compare three things: an AI email chatbot, a traditional helpdesk like Zendesk or Freshdesk, and a virtual assistant or outsourced support agent. Here's how FastBots stacks up.

Haben Sie Fragen?

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Die Fragen, die uns am häufigsten gestellt werden, bevor sich Teams anmelden. Sollte Ihre Frage hier nicht dabei sein, antwortet unser Support-Team an Werktagen innerhalb weniger Stunden.

Will it reply to my emails without me checking first?

Only if you tell it to. You choose between auto-send mode (where the draft goes out as soon as it's ready) and human-in-the-loop mode, where every draft waits in a queue for a person to approve. Most teams start with approval mode and switch specific mailboxes to auto-send once they trust the answers.

Does this replace my helpdesk?

For most small and mid-sized teams, yes; FastBots itself uses Email Replies as its own customer support tool. The full email thread is kept in the conversation history viewable inside the chatbot, multiple team members can review and respond to pending replies, and the AI handles the first-pass drafting from your trained content. What you don't get vs a traditional helpdesk: SLA tracking, macros library, and internal-notes-between-agents. If those aren't gating requirements for you, FastBots can be your helpdesk.

What plan do I need for email replies?

The Business plan at $89/month and above. The free plan and Essential plan let you train and test the chatbot on your website content, but connecting inbound mailboxes is a Business feature.

Which email providers does it work with?

Any provider. Setup is done at the domain level: you configure CNAME records on the domain you own, so it works with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho Mail, ProtonMail, Fastmail or any custom mail server. The connection is to your domain, not to a specific vendor's product.

Can customers attach files to their email?

Yes. Accepted inbound formats include PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, plain text and images (JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC), up to 25 MB per attachment and 50 MB combined per email. Executables, scripts, .zip / .rar / .7z archives and macro-enabled Office files are filtered out for security.

Can my team attach files to the reply?

Yes. When approving a draft, the reviewer can attach files of their own before sending (PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, plain text and common image formats). The outbound limit is 10 MB per file and 20 MB combined per reply.

Can the bot send brand-new emails, not just replies?

Yes. Team members can compose a new outbound email to any customer from inside FastBots, with subject, rich-text body and attachments. If a previous thread exists with that recipient, the message is added to the existing thread; otherwise a new one is created.

Can I use a different tone for email than for web chat?

Yes. Your chatbot has one main system prompt that shapes its behaviour everywhere, and a separate email-specific prompt for Email Replies. So your website widget can stay friendly and chatty while emails read more formal and concise, same trained content, two voices.

Can it book appointments or send SMS from an email?

It can drop a booking link into the reply: point it at your Calendly, Cal.com, SavvyCal or any scheduler and the AI-drafted email will include a 'Book a time here' link in the right context. The bot doesn't run the booking flow itself, but linking out to whichever scheduler you already use covers most cases. For things like CRM updates, SMS or payment links, capture the details in the email exchange and push them into another tool via Zapier or Make.

How do I get started?

Start on the free plan, train a chatbot on your website and documents, and test it through the chat widget. When you're happy with the answers, upgrade to the Business plan and connect your first inbound mailbox. No credit card is needed to try the free plan.
