How to require human approval before an AI agent sends email
Three working patterns for putting a human approval gate in front of AI-written email, with a SendGuard preflight example that only escalates the risky sends.
Product notes, engineering decisions, and operating patterns for teams building AI-driven outbound systems without burning sender reputation.
The most important idea to start with if you are designing AI email controls.

Published notes from product, engineering, and operations.
Traditional deliverability checks are not enough once AI agents can autonomously send cold email at machine speed.
The same message should not be treated equally when it comes from a new autonomous agent versus a trusted production workflow.
A risk score only becomes useful when it maps cleanly to operational actions like allow, delay, approval, or block.
