Latenode

Streamline email management with AI-powered Outlook assistant

This template starts when a new Microsoft Outlook message arrives. ChatGPT reads the mail and returns a category plus the sender.

Action mail moves to the Outlook folder you pick. Monday creates a contact item, and Airtable creates or updates the Contacts row. Connect Microsoft Outlook, Monday, and Airtable. This uses Outlook mail, not calendar.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

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.
