    "javascript_origins": []
  }
}

}

4. Run the project with pnpm run dev or nodemon app.js.

2. Select the account that you want to use for auto reply.
3. You will be redirected to localhost:<PORT>/callback.
4. Wait for 15 seconds.
5. Visit localhost:<PORT>/run.
6. You will now start receiving auto replies to your emails.
