What this workflow does
This workflow monitors your Gmail inbox for new, unreplied emails and automatically generates a professional reply draft using AI.
Instead of sending the email automatically, the draft is sent to Slack so a human can review and decide whether to send it.
This makes it ideal for teams that want to save time on email replies while keeping full control over outgoing communication.

- Limits the number of emails processed per run to avoid overload
