Gmail and OpenAI integration
Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Gmail and OpenAI and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Communication, AI, and Langchain workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.
How to connect Gmail and OpenAI
- Step 1: Create a new workflow
- Step 2: Add and configure nodes
- Step 3: Connect
- Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
- Step 5: Test and activate your workflow
Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
Step 2: Add and configure Gmail and OpenAI nodes
You can find Gmail and OpenAI in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Gmail and OpenAI nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
Step 3: Connect Gmail and OpenAI
A connection establishes a link between Gmail and OpenAI (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.
Step 4: Customize and extend your Gmail and OpenAI integration
Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Gmail and OpenAI with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
Step 5: Test and activate your Gmail and OpenAI workflow
Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Gmail to OpenAI or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.
Popular Gmail and OpenAI workflows

Summarize Google Sheets form feedback via OpenAI's GPT-4
This n8n workflow was developed to collect and summarize feedback from an event that was collected via a Google Form and saved in a Google Sheets document. The workflow is triggered manually by clicking on the "Test workflow" button.
The Google Sheets node retrieves the responses from the feedback form. The Aggregate node then combines all responses for each question into arrays and prepares the data for analysis.
The OpenAI node processes the aggregated feedback data. System Prompt instructs the model to analyze the responses and generate a summary report that includes the overall sentiment regarding the event and constructive suggestions for improvement.
The Markdown node converts the summary report, which is in Markdown format, into HTML. Finally, the Gmail node sends an HTML-formatted email to the specified email address.
Summarize social media activity of a company before a call
How it works
It’s very important to come prepared to Sales calls. This often means a lot of manual research about the person you’re calling with. This workflow delivers a summary of the latest social media activity (LinkedIn + X) for businesses you are about to interact with each day.
Scans Your Calendar**: Each morning, it reviews your Google Calendar for any scheduled meetings or calls with companies based on each attendee email address.
Fetches Latest Posts**: For each identified company, it fetches recent LinkedIn and X posts and summerizes them using AI to deliver a qucik overview for a busy sales rep.
Delivers Insights**: You receive personalized emails via Gmail, each dedicated to a company you’re meeting with that day, containing a reminder of the meeting and a summary of company's recent social media activity.
Setup steps
The workflow requires you to have the following accounts set up in their respective nodes:
Google Calendar
GMail
Clearbit
OpenAI
Besides those, you will need an account on the RapidAPI platform and subscribe to the following APIs:
Fresh LinkedIn Profile Data
Twitter
Email example
Qualify replies from Pipedrive persons with AI
About the workflow
The workflow reads every reply that is received from a cold email campaign and qualifies if the lead is interested in a meeting. If the lead is interested, a deal is made in pipedrive. You can add as many email inboxes as you need!
Setup:
Add credentials to the Gmail, OpenAI and Pipedrive Nodes.
Add a in_campaign field in Pipedrive for persons. In Pipedrive click on your credentials at the top right, go to company settings > Data fields > Person and click on add custom field. Single option [TRUE/FALSE].
If you have only one email inbox, you can delete one of the Gmail nodes.
If you have more than two email inboxes, you can duplicate a Gmail node as many times as you like. Just connect it to the Get email node, and you are good to go!
In the Gmail inbox nodes, select Inbox under label names and uncheck Simplify.
Send a ChatGPT email reply and save responses to Google Sheets
This workflow sends a OpenAI GPT reply when an email is received from specific email recipients. It then saves the initial email and the GPT response to an automatically generated Google spreadsheet. Subsequent GPT responses will be added to the same spreadsheet.
Additionally, when feedback is given for any of the GPT responses, it will be recorded to the spreasheet, which can then be used later to fine-tune the GPT model.
Prerequisites
OpenAI credentials
Google credentials
How it works
This workflow is essentially a two-in-one workflow. It triggers off from two different nodes and have very different functionality from each trigger.
The flow triggered from On email received node is as follows:
Triggers off on the On email received node.
Extract the email body from the email.
Generate a response from the email body using the OpenAI node.
Reply to the email sender using the Send reply to recipient node. A feedback link is also included in the email body which will trigger the On feedback given node. This is used to fine-tune the GPT model.
Save the email body and OpenAI response to a Google Sheet. If a sheet does not exist, it will be created.
The flow triggered from On feedback given node is as follows:
Triggers off when a feedback link is clicked in the emailed GPT response.
The feedback, either positive or negative, for that specific GPT response is then recorded to the Google Sheet.
Send specific PDF attachments from Gmail to Google Drive using OpenAI
This workflow reads PDF textual content and sends the text to OpenAI. Attachments of interest will then be uploaded to a specified Google Drive folder. For example, you may wish to send invoices received from an email to an inbox folder in Google Drive for later processing. This workflow has been designed to easily change the search term to match your needs. See the workflow for more details.
Prerequisites
OpenAI credentials.
Google credentials.
How it works
Triggers off on the On email received node.
Iterates over the attachments in the email.
Uses the OpenAI node to filter out the attachments that do not match the search term set in the Configure node. You could match on various PDF files (i.e. invoice, receipt, or contract).
If the PDF attachment matches the search term, the workflow uses the Google Drive node to upload the PDF attachment to a specific Google Drive folder.
Build your own Gmail and OpenAI integration
Create custom Gmail and OpenAI workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
