Questions about this workflow
Does this copy Gmail messages into Outlook?
No. It fetches Gmail messages for the automation to use and report on; it does not copy them into Outlook.
Can I limit the search to a type of request?
Yes. Describe the request signals and relevant search terms in the automation instruction.
