Draft refund emails from a photo and Gmail receipt
Cowork finds the receipt in Gmail, extracts the order number and date, and drafts a refund email for the user to review and send.
Done withClaude Cowork
- What they did
- A photo of a pair of worn-through pants was uploaded to Claude Cowork, with a dictated prompt asking for a J.Crew refund. Cowork, connected to Gmail, searched for the receipt from PayPal or J.Crew, pulled the order number and purchase date, and drafted the customer service email. The user then checked the details and wording before sending.
- How it went
- The source describes a drafted refund request with the order details and the defect, ready for review. It gives no figures on time saved or on whether the refund was granted.
- Worth knowing
- Check the draft for claims you can't verify, such as other customers' reports, and cut them. If several purchases match the receipt search, narrow by date and order total.
