Bring a thread back to the top of the inbox when its reminder is due

Why teams run it

Promised follow-ups do not depend on memory.

Set it up in Master Inbox

1. In Master Inbox, open Settings, then Workflows, and click Add a workflow.
2. Name it Bring a thread back to the top of the inbox when its reminder is due.
3. Set the trigger to Due Reminder and choose Any reminder.
4. Add the action Mark as unread: So it shows in the unread view.
5. Add the action Move to list: Follow up today.
6. Save the workflow and switch it to Active.

Or create it with the API

Everything in the workflow builder is also in the Master Inbox API. This request creates the same workflow. Replace the example ids with your own label, list and campaign ids from GET /workflows/filter-fields.

curl -X POST https://api.masterinbox.com/api/api-webhook/v1/api/workflows/create-workflow \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MASTER_INBOX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "name": "Bring a thread back to the top of the inbox when its reminder is due",
  "trigger_type": "due_reminder",
  "trigger_config": {},
  "action_configs": [
    {
      "action_type": "mark_as_unread"
    },
    {
      "action_type": "move_to_list",
      "inbox_type_id": 52311
    }
  ]
}'
