Click "OK" and give the Flowbot a name to recognize.
This template will be copied to your “My Project”.
Step 3: Detect Inquiry Emails
In this step, you will set up Gmail to start the Flowbot when an email containing specific keywords is received. To get started, click on "When an email matching a specific keyword is received".
Give your trigger a title (optional) and confirm that the correct Google account is selected. Then, click "Next"
Set your trigger interval (frequency of sync) to how frequently Yoom checks Gmail for updates. It can be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. We recommend setting the trigger to the shortest activation interval available for your plan.
⚠️ Note: The trigger interval varies depending on your Yoomplan. Be sure to check your current plan’s limit.
Then, set a keyword. For this example, we will put in "Inquiry" as the keyword.
Send a test email using Gmail that includes the specified keyword, then click "Test". If the test is successful, you will see the retrieved value get updated as below. Then click "Save".
Step 4: Create Responses with ChatGPT
Let's set up an action to generate responses with ChatGPT. Click "Generate Text".
Change the title (optional) and check that your correct account is selected. Then, click "Next".
Click on the input field to display the retrieved value from the received email in Gmail. You can use these dynamic values to create your instructions. Using the retrieved values will create instructions that change each time the flow is triggered. Avoid entering fixed text, as it will generate the same way each time.
Select "Body" from the retrieved value in the displayed options, as shown below. You can modify the instructions if needed.
📚 Reference: For more details on retrieved values and how to set them up, see theguide here.
The role is set to "user" by default, but you can change it as you like!
For temperature, set a value between 0 and 1. A higher temperature value (e.g., 0.8) generates more creative and varied responses, while a lower value (e.g., 0.3) produces more focused and consistent outputs. For this example, we will set it to "0.5" to get a clearer answer.
For the Maximum Tokens, keeping the input text (original email) to about 1,000 tokens is recommended to ensure the accuracy of the summary. In this case, we will use "200" tokens as the input.
Select the model to be used for generating texts (default is gpt-4o). Different models may affect the quality and style of the output.
For this example, we will go with the default setting.
Once the setup is complete, click "Test".
If the result is successful, click "Save".
Step 5: Create Documents with Google Sheets
Next, let's set up an action to use the generated response created in ChatGPT to create a document with Google Sheets. Click "Issue Document".
Confirm that the correct Google Sheets document is selected, then proceed with the input.
For the template document setting, enter the details from the displayed options.
For the Destination Google Drive Folder ID, select where you want to save your PDF from the displayed options.
Set the Exported File Name to "Subject" from the Gmail retrieved value.
Next, you will see the screen for setting replacement conditions. Create a Google Sheet following the instructions.
📚 Reference: For template documents, refer to this link.
After creating the template document, run a test. After confirming that your retrieved data gets updated correctly, click "Save".
Step 6: Compose Email with Gmail
For the final step, we will set up an action to send the created PDF through Gmail.
Click "Send Email".
Change the title (optional) if needed and check that your Google account is selected.
Then click "Next".
Now we create the email.
Specify From from the displayed options.
For the To field, enter the sender of the inquiry (the customer's email address) as shown in the screen below.
Enter any content for the subject.
Then, enter the body.
Below is an example noting that the inquiry has been answered in a PDF.
You can use the dynamic values to create your body. Using the retrieved values will create personalized emails that change each time the flow is triggered.
In the attachment files, select "use retrieved value" and choose the PDF generated by ChatGPT from the previous step.
After completing the input, click "Next". Test send and check if the email is received in Gmail. If successful, hit "Save".
Step 7: Activate the Flowbot
Toggle the "Trigger On" button to activate your flow!
Check if the Flowbot you set up is working properly.
That’s it! Your Flowbot is complete!
