How to integrate Outlook, Dify, and Chatwork to create a response in Dify and notify in Chatwork when an inquiry email is received in Outlook

t.aizawa

Are you looking for a way to respond to customer inquiries quickly and accurately?
Handling a large volume of emails daily and considering the response content can be a significant burden on the staff.
That's why we recommend an efficiency system that integrates Outlook, Dify, and Chatwork. This integration allows for smooth automation from creating response drafts from incoming emails to notifying the team.
This article provides a detailed explanation of the specific benefits and integration methods of implementing this system.

Recommended for

  • Customer support who wants to handle emails received from Outlook quickly and accurately
  • People who want to automate routine tasks and reduce workload by notifying via Chatwork
  • Staff considering an operation that utilizes automatically generated response drafts in Dify while making necessary adjustments

Benefits and Examples of Integrating Outlook, Dify, and Chatwork

Benefit 1: Improved Response Speed

By implementing a system where Dify generates response drafts using AI for inquiry emails received in Outlook and automatically notifies Chatwork, an improvement in response speed can be expected.
This shortens the manual steps of "checking emails," "considering response content," and "notifying," enabling faster responses.
For example, tasks that used to take 10-15 minutes could be completed in seconds to minutes with this system.
Especially for complaints or urgent inquiries where initial response speed is crucial, immediate responses can directly lead to improved customer satisfaction.

Benefit 2: Quality Control of Response Content

By incorporating a process where a human checks the response drafts generated by Dify before use, high-quality customer responses can be achieved.
AI generates responses based on a large amount of data, but it may occasionally include ambiguous expressions or fail to capture specific nuances.
For instance, if an urgent inquiry contains ambiguous expressions, a human can review and correct the content to ensure accurate and appropriate responses.
Furthermore, experienced staff can fine-tune responses to provide detailed responses that exceed customer expectations.

Benefit 3: Reduced Workload

Automating the manual tasks of "checking emails," "creating responses," and "notifying" can reduce workload.
For example, if you handle 50 inquiries a day, reducing the work time per inquiry by just 10 minutes can save over 8 hours in total. This time can be redirected to more value-added tasks.
Additionally, automation reduces errors in routine tasks, improving the overall quality of work. This automation is particularly useful for improving work efficiency in situations with staff shortages.

How to Create Response Content with Dify and Notify via Chatwork When Receiving Inquiry Emails in Outlook

When an inquiry email is received in Outlook, you can automatically create response content with Dify and notify via Chatwork. Generally, programming knowledge is required to achieve this, but it can be easily accomplished without programming knowledge by using the no-code tool Yoom.

The integration flow is broadly created through the following processes:

  • Register Outlook, Dify, and Chatwork as My Apps
  • Set up for receiving emails in integration with Outlook
  • Send chat messages in integration with Dify
  • Set up message sending in integration with Chatwork

If you are not using Yoom, please register for free here.

If you are already using Yoom, please log in.

Step 1: Connect Outlook, Dify, and Chatwork to My Apps

(1) After logging into Yoom, select "My Apps" from the left menu and click "+ New Connection".

(2) From the list of new connections in My Apps, click on Outlook.
※ Microsoft365 (formerly Office365) has both a personal plan and a business plan (Microsoft365 Business). If you are not subscribed to the business plan, authentication may fail.
(3) Log in with your account on the sign-in screen.

(4) Next, register Dify to My Apps. Similarly, click on Dify from the list of new connections in Yoom.
(5) On the "New Dify Registration" screen, check the red frame, enter the account name and access token, and click "Add".
For instructions on how to connect Dify to My Apps, please refer to here.

(6) Next, register Chatwork to My Apps. Similarly, click on Chatwork from the list of new connections in Yoom.
(7) Log in with your account.
(8) An image like the one below will appear, so click "Allow".

Once the connection is complete, Outlook, Dify, and Chatwork will be registered in My Apps on Yoom.

This completes the My Apps registration.
Next, let's set up triggers using templates!

Step 2: Set up for receiving emails with Outlook integration

(1) We will use the template introduced earlier. Click "Try it" on the banner below to copy it.

Click on "Receive an email with a specific subject" for the app trigger.

(2) From the "Select Linked Account and Action" screen in Outlook, verify that there are no errors in the account information linked with Outlook, keep the trigger action as "Receive an email," and click "Next."

(3) From the "App Trigger API Connection Settings" screen, select the trigger activation interval.
Select the trigger activation interval from the dropdown menu with options of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
※ Please note that the shortest trigger activation interval varies depending on the plan.

Scroll down and select the email folder ID from the options.

Once the input is complete, click "Test" at the bottom, and if no errors occur, click "Save."

Step 3: Integrate with Dify to Send Chat Messages

(1) Next, integrate with Dify to create a response draft using AI and send a chat message.
Click "Send Chat Message."

(2) From the "Select Linked Account and Action" screen in Dify, verify that there are no errors in the account information linked with Dify, keep the action as "Send Chat Message," and click "Next."

(3) From the "API Connection Settings" screen, select the query from the output. By selecting from the output, you can reference Outlook information.
Set an arbitrary identifier for the user using alphanumeric characters.

Other fields are not mandatory, but utilizing them allows you to set prompts and notifications more flexibly and efficiently.
Once the input is complete, click "Test" at the bottom, and if no errors occur, click "Save."

Step 4: Integrate with Chatwork to Set Message Sending

(1) Next, integrate with Chatwork to set up message sending.
Click "Send Message."

(2) From the "Select Linked Account and Action" screen in Chatwork, verify that there are no errors in the account information linked with Chatwork, keep the action as "Send Message," and click "Next."

(3) From the "API Connection Settings" screen, select the room ID from the options.
The content entered in the message will be notified in Chatwork.

Once the input is complete, click "Test," and if no errors occur, click "Save" at the bottom.
(4) Finally, click "Turn on Trigger."

This completes the flow bot "Create a response with Dify and notify Chatwork when an inquiry email is received in Outlook."

Other Automation Examples Using Dify and Chatwork

At Yoom, there are other examples of automation using Dify and Chatwork, and we would like to introduce a few of them.

1. Notify Chatwork with responses created by Dify when there is an inquiry via Google Forms

By integrating with Google Forms, when there is an inquiry via Google Forms, the response content is automatically created by Dify and notified to Chatwork. Since the entire process is automated, you will be able to respond to customers smoothly.

2. When a message is posted on Chatwork, automatically generate a response with Dify's chatbot

By utilizing this flow, the chatbot can immediately respond to customer inquiries, allowing you to address them without keeping the customer waiting. On the other hand, automation can also be expected to reduce the burden on the staff.

3. When you receive an inquiry email in Gmail, create a response in Dify and notify in Chatwork

This flow is recommended for those who handle inquiries using Gmail. Automation can be expected to reduce response time. Additionally, notifying in Chatwork will facilitate smooth information sharing within the team.
