This template starts when Gmail receives a new attachment, downloads the file, and uploads it over SFTP. Use it to archive invoices, signed PDFs, or other inbound files on a host your team already uses.
Connect Gmail and SFTP. Put host, user, and password on the SFTP connection. If the server speaks FTP only, perform the upload in a JavaScript node and keep those credentials in that 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 Gmail receives a new attachment in the inbox or label you watch.
Latenode gets the attachment bytes so they can be written to the remote host.
SFTP writes the file to the remote path. Put host, user, and password on the SFTP connection. If the host is FTP only, upload in JavaScript instead and keep those credentials in that node.
Add a Gmail connection with access to the inbox or label that receives the attachments.
Add an SFTP connection. Enter host, user, and password there. Choose the remote directory that should receive files.
Add a Gmail trigger for new attachments, download the file, and push it over SFTP. Use the original filename on the remote path. If login fails because the server is FTP not SFTP, move the upload into a JavaScript node and keep host, user, and password in that node.

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.
