Walled Garden

September 20, 2024
Walled Garden is a customizable inbox management app built on Pipedream. It allows users to filter, classify, label, and respond to incoming email messages.

How It Works

Walled Garden application logic

Walled Garden was built with the intention of preventing inbox overgrowth. With that in mind, the application has multiple checks to see if a new email is relevant to you:

  1. Is it from an existing contact?
  2. If not, does it contain your unique, customizable password?
  3. If not, has the sender paid to contact you? *

Emails that fall outside of these three constraints are labeled for review, or automatically marked SPAM if they are not CAN-SPAM compliant.

The end result is that your inbox becomes as peaceful as a walled garden.


Build Your Own

Want to build your own Walled Garden? No problem! You will need the following tools to get started:

  1. Google Workspace
  2. Google Cloud Console
  3. Pipedream Advanced Plan
  4. OpenAI API

Working knowledge of Node.js is beneficial but not absolutely necessary.

Once you have all of these tools, you can copy the Walled Garden Pipedream template and customize it to your liking. Please note that only clients will receive support for this template (see below).


* The Pay-to-Contact workflow has not been added to the template at the time of publishing. It will be added later and will require Stripe API access.
