Try it

Act as a business operations agent. I need to set up a workflow using OpenAI Dots to catch unsent invoices. 1. **Context**: I am a freelancer who often forgets to send invoices to clients. 2. **Inputs**: [Replaceable: My email provider, e.g., Gmail/Outlook] and [Replaceable: Invoice template file]. 3. **Task**: Configure a Dots agent to scan my 'Drafts' folder for emails containing the keyword 'Invoice' that have not been sent. 4. **Action**: When found, the agent should extract the client name, amount, and date, then prepare a summary for my review. 5. **Human Check**: Do NOT send the email automatically. Present the summary to me and ask for explicit confirmation. 6. **Output**: A list of pending invoices with details. 7. **Success Metric**: Zero unsent invoices older than 3 days. 8. **Error Handling**: If the agent cannot parse the invoice amount, flag it as 'Manual Review Required'. First, perform a dry run on 3 sample emails to verify accuracy. Wait for my confirmation before enabling the live monitor.
