Depending on your setup, data should flow between OpenAI GPT Assistants and Microsoft Outlook (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect OpenAI GPT Assistants and Microsoft Outlook
OpenAI GPT Assistants + Google Sheets + Microsoft Outlook: When a new message is added to a GPT Assistant thread, this automation summarizes the conversation and logs key insights into a Google Sheet. An email containing the summary and the insights is then sent via Microsoft Outlook.
Microsoft Outlook + OpenAI GPT Assistants + Slack: Upon receiving a new email in Outlook, the automation utilizes GPT Assistants to create a summary of the email. Based on that summary, GPT Assistants drafts a reply. A Slack message then notifies the user about the draft reply.
