How action items work
Talisk reads incoming mail and raises an action item for anything that needs you: a reply, a decision, a task. Open Action Items from the sidebar (a red badge shows how many are open).
Each item is one card per thread, tagged with its urgency and (when drafted) a Draft pill. Per card you can:
- Done: mark it handled.
- Snooze: hide it until later today, tomorrow, the weekend, or next week.
- Skip: drop it from the list but leave the email in your inbox.
- Archive: file the email and close the item (it's styled red but it's not a delete).
You get one card per thread: a follow-up email re-points the same card to the newest message (and re-opens it if you'd closed it). When you reply (in Talisk or straight from Gmail/Outlook) the card closes itself. To reply with an AI-drafted response, open the email from the card.
Good to know: You get one action item per email thread: a follow-up re-anchors the same
card rather than adding another, and replying (in Talisk or in your mailbox)
closes it automatically. The red Archive button is not a delete: it files the
email and closes the item.
