Questions about this workflow

Will this translate the whole message?

No. The workflow looks up the selected word. Ask Notis to focus on a specific term or the most important unfamiliar term.

Can I request a particular sense of a word?

Yes. State the business context in the instruction so Notis can select the relevant meaning.

Can I use the result to draft a reply?

Yes, but drafting a reply requires an additional instruction or workflow.
