This template watches Gmail for new mail, trims sender, subject, and a short body excerpt in JavaScript, and sends that text with Twilio.
Use it when you need inbox alerts on your phone. Connect Gmail and Twilio. Put the Twilio Account SID, auth token, and From number on the Twilio connection.
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.

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.
