Description

Quickly organize your inbox with AI!
This simple workflow automatically classifies incoming emails into different categories — like High Priority, Work Related, or Promotions — and applies Gmail labels accordingly.
Setup takes less than 2 minutes, and it runs 24/7, helping you stay focused on what matters most without manual sorting.

Tools/Services Needed

  • Gmail: To trigger the workflow and label emails.
  • Google Gemini (or any LLM Model): To intelligently classify email content.

How It Works

  1. Gmail Trigger: Detects every new incoming email.

  2. Text Classifier Node: Classifies the email content into predefined categories.

  3. Google Gemini Chat Model: Provides the AI-powered understanding behind the classification.

  4. Conditional Labeling:

  • If the email is High Priority, label it accordingly.
  • If it’s Work Related (e.g., internal emails), apply the work label.
  • If it’s a Promotion, sort it into the promotions label.
  1. Gmail Labeling: Automatically adds the correct label to the email.

Setup Instructions

  • Connect your Gmail account to n8n.
  • Connect your Google Gemini (or other LLM) credentials.
  • Customize the categories and labels if needed.
  • Activate the workflow — and that's it!

Notes

  • You can easily add more categories (like "Finance," "Newsletters," etc.) by adjusting the classification prompt.
  • Works best with a clean and minimal set of categories to avoid overlap.
  • Can be adapted to work with any other large language model (OpenAI, Claude, etc.) if preferred.
