How it works:

1. The Power Automate flow activates when a new email arrives in your Outlook inbox.
2. It captures the email's subject and body.
3. Sends the extracted information to your custom-trained OpenAI Assistant using an HTTP action.
4. The Assistant creates a reply based on the data you've provided during training.
5. The flow receives the generated reply from the Assistant.
6. Automatically sends the Assistant's reply back to the original email sender.
