You want to use the automatic "AI email" feature in Sybill, but when you click on the button from within a call summary, you don't get anything?

You might need to set your default email handler. Here's how you can do so (for web-based handlers like mail.google.com or outlook.live.com):

  1. Visit chrome://settings/handlers (Copy paste the link)

  2. Make the default behavior as "Sites can ask to handle protocols"

  3. (If it’s there) Remove your favorite email client (outlook/gmail) from "Not allowed to handle protocols" by clicking on the cross next to it.

  4. Then can you open your email client (Outlook/gmail) and now you should see the icon attached below. Click the icon, and click "Allow".

For Step 4, the icon should appear in the address bar once you have allowed the site handlers.

This should enable you to use the AI emails generated by Sybill seamlessly with your favorite email client. Note that this might not work with desktop-based clients like the Apple Mail app or Superhuman.
