Daily Morning Haiku Generation with OpenRouter AI, Google Docs and Gmail

How it works

This workflow automatically generates a new haiku poem every morning using AI, formats it in 5-7-5 structure, saves it to Google Docs, and sends it to your email inbox.

Workflow steps:

1. Schedule Trigger – Runs daily at 7:00 AM.
2. AI Agent – Asks AI to output four words (kigo, noun, verb1, verb2) in JSON format.
3. Code in JavaScript – Builds a 5-7-5 haiku using the AI-generated words and sets today’s title.
4. Edit Fields – Prepares document fields (title and body) for Google Docs.
5. Create a document – Creates a new Google Document for the haiku.
6. Prepare Append – Collects the document ID and haiku text for appending.
7. Update a document – Inserts the haiku into the existing Google Doc.
8. Send a message – Sends the haiku of the day to your Gmail inbox.
9. OpenRouter Chat Model – Connects the OpenRouter model used by the AI Agent.

Setup steps

1. Connect your OpenRouter API key as a credential (used in the AI Agent node).
2. Update your Google Docs folder ID and Gmail account credentials.
3. Change the email recipient address in the “Send a message” node.
4. Adjust the Schedule Trigger time as you like.
5. Run the workflow once to test and verify document creation and email delivery.
