Turn Brand Emails into Ready-to-Use Deal Data with Collabed's AI Inbox
Summary
This deep dive shows how Collabed ingests brand outreach emails, extracts campaign data, and builds follow-up reminders so creators can answer opportunities faster without copying details into spreadsheets.
Key Points
- Forward emails to Collabed to auto-capture contact info, deliverables, deadlines, and compensation inside a structured deal card.
- Keep every reply, note, and attachment linked to the deal so you always know the next step and who owes what.
- Smart nudges surface overdue replies and suggest follow-up scripts tailored to each relationship.
- No integrations or custom setups required—Collabed is built for fast-moving solo creators who want less admin work.
Your inbox is full of gold—and chaos. Buried between receipts and newsletters are real brand opportunities, but pulling the details into a tracker takes time you rarely have. Collabed's AI inbox was built to handle that gap, turning raw emails into ready-to-work deals without another manual spreadsheet session.
Step 1: Forward Any Brand Email to Collabed
Every Collabed workspace comes with a unique forwarding address. Send or CC any brand pitch to that inbox and Collabed automatically captures the thread—including attachments and inline links. Prefer manual control? Paste the email body into the intake screen and you get the same result, without connecting Gmail or Outlook.
What the AI Pulls Instantly
- • Brand name, point of contact, and reply address
- • Campaign summary, deliverables, and format requests
- • Mentioned deadlines, usage rights, or key dates
- • Compensation details (cash, gifted, affiliate terms)
- • Attachments saved alongside the record
Step 2: Approve the Draft Deal Card
Instead of retyping, you review a pre-filled deal page. Adjust anything the AI missed, pick the correct status (pending, emailed, approval needed, etc.), and save. The email thread stays attached so you can jump back to the original message whenever you want context.
Quick Win
Creators report saving 15-20 minutes per opportunity by letting Collabed pre-fill contact fields, timelines, and payment data before they ever respond.
Step 3: Reply with Context (and Templates)
Once the deal exists, Collabed suggests response templates that match the stage: interest confirmation, rate negotiation, or follow-up nudges. Pick one, tailor it, and send directly from Collabed or copy it back to your email client with the timeline and deliverables already in front of you.
Suggested Templates
- • First reply with clarified deliverables
- • Rate negotiation with value proof
- • Deadline confirmation and next steps
Automated Reminders
- • Follow-up nudges at 5-day and 10-day marks
- • Draft due reminders synced with your calendar view
- • Payment chase reminders once the work is approved
Step 4: Track Every Interaction Without Leaving Collabed
Each email thread stays linked to the deal, alongside your notes, uploaded briefs, and payment status. Move a deal from emailed to shipped and your calendar, kanban, and revenue dashboards update in sync—no duplicate data entry, no disconnected tools.
