Questions about this workflow
What does this automation search for?
It uses the scripture topic, phrase, or question in a new email as the search query for Api bible. You can name a preferred version in the instruction.
Will it search every email?
The trigger runs for new emails in the connected Agent mail inbox. In your instruction, tell Notis which messages should lead to a verse search.
Does it choose a Bible translation automatically?
