Email & Calendar

Ariadne can connect to your email and calendar accounts, giving agents the ability to read your messages and upcoming events — and optionally send emails on your behalf.

Email

Connecting an Email Account

1. Go to Settings → E-Mail Config
2. Click Add Email Account
3. Enter your IMAP and SMTP server details:
   • IMAP server and port (typically 993 for SSL)
   • SMTP server and port (typically 587 for STARTTLS)
   • Username and Password
4. Click Test Connection to verify the settings
5. Click Save

Multiple email accounts can be connected — for example, a personal and a work account.

Viewing Your Mailbox

Once connected, go to Tools → View Mailbox to browse your inbox. You can:

• Read messages
• Browse folders
• Search by subject, sender, or content

What Agents Can Do with Email

Agents with email tools enabled can:

• Read messages from your inbox
• Search for specific emails
• Send emails on your behalf
• Reply to messages
• Summarise long email threads

This is particularly powerful when combined with schedules — for example, an agent that monitors your inbox each morning and reports on anything requiring attention.

Email Triggers (Incoming Email Automation)

You can configure Ariadne to react to incoming emails automatically. When a new email arrives matching your criteria, it can trigger an agent conversation. This is configured under Settings → E-Mail Config with IMAP monitoring.

Calendar

Connecting a Calendar Account

1. Go to Settings → Calendar Config
2. Click Add Calendar
3. Enter your calendar connection details (CalDAV or compatible calendar service)
4. Click Save

Viewing Your Calendar

Go to Tools → View Calendar to see your upcoming events.

What Agents Can Do with Calendar

Agents with calendar tools enabled can:

• Read your upcoming events
• Find free time slots
• Summarise your day or week schedule
• Create new events (if write access is enabled)

Managing Calendar Connections

You can also manage your calendar connections from User Menu → My Calendar.

My Email Addresses

Go to User Menu → My Email Addresses to manage the email identities associated with your Ariadne account. These are used for matching incoming emails to your user profile.

Privacy Notes

• Email credentials are stored securely and encrypted at rest
• Agents only access email and calendar when given the relevant tool in their tool collection
• You can revoke email/calendar access for any agent by removing the tool from its collection in Settings → Agents
