Someone still has to send email. It does not have to be you
A companion works the 2 operations your Zoho Mail account exposes. It can send an email and create a task, and every one of those waits on an approval card showing the email before it changes.
Open the email. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Zoho Mail afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a email until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Zoho Mail exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 2 operations, no reads and 2 writes. In practice that means it can send an email and create a task, and work across the emails and tasks.
The Zoho Mail API stops at Zoho Mail. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Which Zoho Mail emails does a companion see?
In the tab.
Zoho Mail exposes no read operation to a connected account, so a companion opens Zoho Mail in the session you are already signed into and reads the screens you would.
The emails are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the tasks. A companion can hold all 2 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Zoho Mail admin becomes a queue you review.
Can it change a email without asking?
All 2 write operations wait for you.
A companion can send an email and create a task, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the email, the field and the new value before it lands in Zoho Mail.
Nothing in Zoho Mail is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the email exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

Can the emails pass run every Monday?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Zoho Mail emails pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the messages, the Zoho Mail emails sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
