Gmail and HTTP Request integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Gmail and HTTP Request and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Communication, Development, and Core Nodes workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Gmail and HTTP Request

  • 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 HTTP Request nodes

You can find Gmail and HTTP Request 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 HTTP Request nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Automated Web Scraping: email a CSV, save to Google Sheets & Microsoft Excel

How it works:
The workflow starts by sending a request to a website to retrieve its HTML content.
It then parses the HTML extracting the relevant information
The extracted data is storted and converted into a CSV file.
The CSV file is attached to an email and sent to your specified address.
The data is simultaneously saved to both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel for further analysis or use.

Set-up steps:
Change the website to scrape in the "Fetch website content" node
Configure Microsoft Azure credentials with Microsoft Graph permissions (required for the Save to Microsoft Excel 365 node)
Configure Google Cloud credentials with access to Google Drive, Google Sheets and Gmail APIs (the latter is required for the Send CSV via e-mail node).

Effortless Email Management with AI-Powered Summarization & Review

How it Works This workflow automates the handling of incoming emails, summarizes their content, generates appropriate responses using a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approach, and obtains approval or suggestions before sending replies. Below is an explanation of its functionality divided into two main sections: Email Handling and Summarization: The process begins with the Email Trigger (IMAP) node which listens for new emails in a specified inbox. Once an email is received, the Markdown node converts its HTML content into plain text if necessary, followed by the Email Summarization Chain that uses AI to create a concise summary of up to 100 words. Response Generation and Approval: A Write email node generates a professional response based on the summarized content, ensuring brevity and professionalism while keeping within the word limit. Before sending out any automated replies, the system sends these drafts via Gmail for human review and approval through the Gmail node configured with free-text response options. If approved, the finalized email is sent back to the original sender using the Send Email node; otherwise, it loops back for further edits or manual intervention. Additionally, there's a Text Classifier node designed to categorize feedback from humans as either "Approved" or "Declined", guiding whether the email should proceed directly to being sent or require additional editing. Set Up Steps To replicate this workflow within your own n8n environment, follow these essential configuration steps: Configuration: Begin by setting up an n8n instance either locally or via cloud services offered directly from their official site. Import the provided JSON configuration file into your workspace, making sure all required credentials such as IMAP, SMTP, OpenAI API keys, etc., are properly set up under Credentials since multiple nodes rely heavily on external integrations for functionalities like reading emails, generating summaries, crafting replies, and managing approvals. Customization: Adjust parameters according to specific business needs, including but not limited to adjusting the conditions used during conditional checks performed by nodes like Approve?. Modify the template messages given to AI models so they align closely with organizational tone & style preferences while maintaining professionalism expected in business communications. Ensure correct mappings between fields when appending data to external systems where records might need tracking post-interaction completion, such as Google Sheets or similar platforms.

🤖🧑‍💻 AI Agent for Top n8n Creators Leaderboard Reporting

This n8n workflow is designed to automate the aggregation, processing, and reporting of community statistics related to n8n creators and workflows. Its primary purpose is to generate insightful reports that highlight top contributors, popular workflows, and key trends within the n8n ecosystem. Here's how it works and why it's important: How It Works Data Retrieval: The workflow fetches JSON data files from a GitHub repository containing statistics about creators and workflows. It uses HTTP requests to access these files dynamically based on pre-defined global variables. Data Processing: The data is parsed into separate streams for creators and workflows. It processes the data to identify key metrics such as unique weekly and monthly inserters/visitors. Ranking and Filtering: The workflow sorts creators by their weekly inserts and workflows by their popularity. It selects the top 10 creators and top 50 workflows for detailed analysis. Report Generation: Using AI tools like GPT-4 or Google Gemini, the workflow generates a Markdown report summarizing trends, contributors, and workflow statistics. The report includes tables with detailed metrics (e.g., unique visitors, inserters) and insights into why certain workflows are popular. Distribution: The report is saved locally or uploaded to Google Drive. It can also be shared via email or Telegram for broader accessibility. Automation: A schedule trigger ensures the workflow runs daily or as needed, keeping the reports up-to-date. Why It's Important Community Insights**: This workflow provides actionable insights into the n8n community by identifying impactful contributors and popular workflows. This fosters collaboration and innovation within the ecosystem. Time Efficiency**: By automating data collection, processing, and reporting, it saves significant time and effort for community managers or administrators. Recognition of Contributors**: Highlighting top creators encourages engagement and recognizes individuals driving value in the community. Trend Analysis**: The workflow helps uncover patterns in usage, enabling better decision-making for platform improvements or feature prioritization. Scalability**: With its modular design, this workflow can be easily adapted to include additional metrics or integrate with other tools.
