Automate Email Filtering & AI Summarization with Gmail, Groq AI, and Google Sheets

Good to know:
This workflow automatically processes incoming emails (you can filter them base on your needs) and creates concise AI-powered summaries, then logs them to a Google Sheets spreadsheet for easy tracking and analysis.

Who is this for?

➖Business professionals who receive many emails and need quick summaries
➖Customer service teams tracking email communications
➖Project managers monitoring email correspondence
➖Anyone who wants to automatically organize and summarize their email communications

What problem is this workflow solving?

This workflow solves the problem of email overload by automatically reading incoming emails, generating concise summaries using AI, and organizing them in a structured format. It eliminates the need to manually read through every email to understand the key points and maintains a searchable record of communications.

What this workflow does:

✅Monitors your Gmail inbox for new emails
✅Filters emails based on specific criteria (sender validation)

✅Uses AI to generate concise summaries of email content
✅Automatically logs all data including the AI summary to a Google Sheets spreadsheet

How it works:

1️⃣Gmail trigger monitors for new emails at specified intervals
2️⃣Email data is processed and formatted using JavaScript

5️⃣All information is automatically appended to a Google Sheets document

How to use:

Set up Gmail OAuth2 credentials in n8n
Configure Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials
Set up Groq API credentials for AI processing
Create a Google Sheets document and update the document ID
Customize the sender validation criteria as needed
Activate the workflow
