Workflow Process Overview
1. Connect Outlook & Set Filter: The workflow begins by connecting to a Microsoft Outlook account. It filters incoming emails from a specific sender (e.g., [email protected]) and triggers the process every minute.
2. Add AI Agent Instructions: The workflow then passes the email details to an AI agent that is instructed to draft a response based on the email content, ensuring that it adheres to specified tone and style guidelines.
3. Add OpenAI Chat Model: The AI model (e.g., gpt-4o-mini) is utilized to generate the reply, leveraging advanced language processing capabilities.
4. Reply to Email: The generated response is then set up to be sent as a reply to the original email, with options to save it as a draft or send it directly.
5. Sticky Notes: Throughout the workflow, sticky notes provide helpful reminders and instructions for users on how to utilize various components of the workflow effectively.
