    Workflow Steps

  • Step 1: The workflow begins with the Gmail Trigger, which monitors your inbox for any new emails labeled with 'To-Do'. This check occurs every minute, ensuring timely updates.

    - Step 4: Two Sticky Notes are displayed, providing users with a brief overview of the workflow and necessary setup instructions to ensure everything functions smoothly.
