Code To Identify an Email as including meeting details

  // Define keywords that suggest a meeting link or location
  const meetingKeywords = ['meeting here:', 'call details:', 'Google Calendar:', 'iCal/Outlook:', 'zoom.us'];

  // Search the email for the date and time pattern
  const dateTimeMatches = emailHtml.match(dateTimePattern);

  // Search the email for meeting keywords
  const hasMeetingKeywords = meetingKeywords.some(keyword => emailHtml.includes(keyword));
