ChatGPT Email Auto-Reply and Feedback Logging Workflow

This workflow implements an automated email reply function, enhancing communication efficiency through intelligently generated responses. Upon receiving a new email in the designated inbox, the system automatically invokes an AI model to generate a reply and stores the email content along with the reply record in a spreadsheet for easy team management and analysis. Additionally, users can evaluate the effectiveness of the replies through a feedback link, and the feedback data will also be synchronized into the spreadsheet, providing a basis for the continuous optimization of the AI model. This is applicable to various business scenarios such as customer service and sales.

Workflow Name

ChatGPT Email Auto-Reply and Feedback Logging Workflow

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automatically triggers upon receiving emails in a specified mailbox, invoking OpenAI’s GPT model to generate intelligent replies. It sends the generated response back to the sender via email and simultaneously logs both the original email content and the generated reply into a Google Sheets spreadsheet for easy management and subsequent analysis. Users can evaluate the reply effectiveness through feedback links embedded in the email, with feedback data synchronized into Google Sheets to support ongoing GPT model fine-tuning. The entire process is fully automated and supports cumulative recording of multiple reply instances.

Core Problems Addressed

  • Automates email reply handling to reduce manual response time and workload
  • Ensures replies are intelligent and contextually relevant, enhancing communication efficiency
  • Centralizes storage of emails and replies for streamlined team collaboration and data analysis
  • Continuously improves AI reply quality through a user feedback mechanism

Application Scenarios

  • Automated customer service email responses to improve response speed
  • Sales teams automatically replying to potential client emails for timely follow-up
  • Internal support email automation to alleviate employee workload
  • Any business scenario requiring efficient email management and intelligent replies

Main Process Steps

  1. Email Trigger: Gmail trigger node monitors new emails in the specified mailbox (polling every minute).
  2. Email Filtering: Processes only emails from senders matching configured recipients.
  3. Generate Unique ID: Creates a UUID for each email to facilitate tracking and logging.
  4. Extract Email Content: Uses advanced code node to parse the email body, removing signatures and quoted text.
  5. Token Limit Check: Verifies that email content is within OpenAI token limits to prevent errors from overly long texts.
  6. Generate Reply: Calls OpenAI GPT API to produce a reply based on the email content.
  7. Format Data: Consolidates email ID, original email content, and generated reply for spreadsheet entry.
  8. Create or Retrieve Spreadsheet: Automatically creates a Google Sheets file if none exists and saves its ID.
  9. Save Data: Appends or updates the email and reply data into the designated Google Sheets worksheet.
  10. Send Email Reply: Sends the intelligent reply in HTML format via Gmail node, including a user feedback link.
  11. Receive Feedback: Listens for user feedback (positive or negative) through a webhook and updates the corresponding Google Sheets record.
  12. Feedback Confirmation Page: Displays a thank-you page after feedback submission.
