7. Convert Response to HTML: The generated Markdown response is converted into HTML format for email compatibility.
8. Build Email Raw: A raw email message is constructed using the mapped fields and HTML content.
9. Convert Raw to Base64: The raw email message is encoded into a base64 string for Gmail API compatibility.
10. Add Email Draft to Thread: The encoded message is added as a draft to the original email thread.
11. Remove AI Label from Email: The trigger label is removed from the email thread to avoid reprocessing.
