How does this automation work?

Generate customized email
Action

Bardeen integrates with OpenAI to help you create email drafts quickly and efficiently. With the power of AI, you can compose emails without having to type them out. This automation is especially useful for those who send out similar emails regularly, such as sales reps or customer service agents. It allows you to focus on what matters most: your work.

Here is how this workflow works:

  1. Create OpenAI composed email from text: OpenAI is used to generate an email draft based on your input text. You will need to provide a summary for your email and your name for the signature.
  2. Convert text to URL-encoded string: The composed email text is then converted into a URL-encoded string. This format is needed to open the email draft in your browser.
  3. Convert text to URL-encoded string: The subject of your email is also converted into a URL-encoded string. You will need to provide the subject.
  4. Find email addresses in text: This step extracts email addresses from the text you provided. These are the recipients of your email.
  5. Merge text: The URL-encoded email content, subject, and recipient email addresses are combined to form a URL that will open a new email draft in your browser.
  6. Find all links in text: This step finds all the links in the text. In this case, it will find the URL that was created in the previous step.
  7. Open all links from text: The URL that was found in the previous step is opened in a new browser tab. This will open a new email draft with the composed email, subject, and recipient(s) filled in.
