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 AI research and scores can be wrong or out of date, so treat the alert as a prompt to look, not a verdict.
