How It Works
This workflow operates in a streamlined, intelligent sequence: 1. **Incoming Email Trigger**: The workflow is activated instantly when a new email arrives in your connected Gmail account (excluding emails you've sent yourself). 2. **AI Assessment**: An OpenAI model, powered by LangChain, analyzes the incoming email's subject and content. Based on predefined rules (e.g., ignoring marketing emails), it determines whether a reply is necessary. 3. **Conditional Proceed**: If the AI determines a reply is needed, the workflow continues. Otherwise, it gracefully exits, preventing unnecessary draft creation. 4. **AI Draft Generation**: A second, powerful OpenAI model (GPT-4-turbo) then processes the original email's context and generates a suitable, professional draft reply. It adheres to instructions for tone, structure, and language. 5. **Gmail Draft Creation**: Finally, the AI-generated reply is automatically saved as a draft in your Gmail inbox, directly within the original email thread. This allows you to review, edit, and send it at your convenience.
