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.
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.
