This template watches Gmail for a new email and creates an OmniFocus task from the subject and body.
JavaScript sends the text to OmniFocus with your OmniFocus API token or Mail Drop address in that node. Connect Gmail, pick the inbox or label, and put OmniFocus access in the JavaScript node.
Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

The scenario starts when a new email lands in the Gmail inbox or label you connect.
JavaScript creates the task using the API token or Mail Drop address stored in that node. Set the name from the subject and put a short excerpt plus the message link in the note.
Add a Gmail connection with access to the inbox you want to watch. Add a trigger for new email. Narrow by label if you only want some mail.
Add a JavaScript node and put your OmniFocus API token or Mail Drop address there.
In JavaScript, set the task name from the Gmail subject. Put a short excerpt and the message link in the note. Skip newsletters in the same node if they should not become tasks.

This template runs on a schedule, connects to your mailbox over IMAP from a JavaScript node, and appends each new message as a Google Sheets row. Put the IMAP host, username, and password in that JavaScript node. Connect Google Sheets and keep a message id on the row so later runs skip mail you already logged.
This template logs Harvest time from Outlook meetings. A schedule starts each run. JavaScript calls Microsoft Graph calendarView for the window you set and turns start and end into hours. Put the Graph token in that JavaScript node. Harvest creates a time entry with the event title as notes. Connect Harvest and pick the project and task those hours should land on.
This template watches Microsoft Outlook for new mail, cleans the body in JavaScript, asks ChatGPT for a reply, and sends that reply from Outlook. Connect Microsoft Outlook with permission to read and send mail. ChatGPT is a Latenode AI step, so you do not paste an OpenAI key. This uses Outlook mail, not calendar.
