Or ask Claude, ChatGPT or Grok to build it

Our workflow guide is written for AI agents to read. Give your assistant your API key and this prompt:

Read https://app.masterinbox.com/public-workflow-api.md and use my Master Inbox API key to create this workflow: "Move sales pitches and newsletters out of Needs Reply". First call GET /workflows/filter-fields and look up my label, list and channel ids, then create the workflow and tell me what you set up.
