Find money owed to you that's buried in your inbox

The problem
Refund notices and credit offers get lost among thousands of emails, and the money just sits there.
How the bot does it
Users report:
- @Lara_Kimbrell says her bot located an unclaimed homeowners policy refund from when the family sold their house five years ago. She says it had been overlooked in her email.
- @AshleighEWrites posted about the same kind of inbox search.
- The community Bounty Hunter template does a similar sweep of email and bills.
- Results depend on what's in your email. Claiming the money is still up to you.
Setup steps
- 1Connect the email account you want searched.
- 2Pick how far back to look.
- 3Ask for a list with amounts, dates, and what each claim needs.
- 4Tell it: don't contact anyone. Any claim email is Draft, I send.
