# Draft Reply

> Create an unsent reply draft for a Gmail message.

The **Draft Reply** action prepares a reply in Gmail without sending it. It
keeps the original subject and conversation headers, so a reviewer can finish
or send the response from Gmail.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The draft is not threaded">
    Supply the Gmail Message ID for the message being answered. The action needs
    that message's thread and RFC reply headers to construct the draft.
