Send a Gmail message when you press the Button widget
How this automation works
Generate a ChatGPT-crafted reply and save it as a draft in Gmail. When you star an email, the applet asks ChatGPT with the prompt you configure (which can include the email's subject, sender, or snippet) and saves ChatGPT's response as a draft reply in the original Gmail conversation. Great for quickly composing polite or professional responses to important messages using ChatGPT and keeping them in Gmail Drafts for review. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
