Problem

High-value prospects who email a general inbox wait in the queue with everyone else

Caveats

The template page is an Activepieces app page that loads in the browser; the steps above come from its public flow definition and Activepieces' own blog write-up. Needs a Perplexity account (cost UNKNOWN); how the built-in AI steps are billed on your Activepieces plan is UNKNOWN. Incoming email content is sent to AI providers. AI research and scores can be wrong or out of date, so treat the alert as a prompt to look, not a verdict.

Setup estimates are rough guesses for someone comfortable with the tools who already has the accounts and API keys. Real time is unknown until tested.
