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).

SSL Expiry Alert with SSL-Checker.io

Use Case Managing SSL certificates manually can be time-consuming and error-prone, often leading to unexpected downtime or security risks due to expired certificates. What This Workflow Does This workflow automatically monitors SSL certificates for a list of websites, checks their expiry status using SSL-Checker.io, and sends timely notifications if a certificate is about to expire. Setup Add your credentials for Google Sheets, Gmail, and SSL-Checker.io. Create a Google Sheet with a list of URLs for the websites you want to monitor. Configure the workflow to check the SSL status weekly. Set up email notifications to alert you when a certificate is close to expiry. Activate the workflow to automate monitoring and notification. How to Adjust It to Your Needs Customize the URL Source: Replace Google Sheets with another data source like Airtable or CSV files. Modify Notification Thresholds: Change the expiry threshold (e.g., notify for 14 days instead of 7). Add Additional Actions: Integrate with tools like Slack or Teams for team-wide notifications. Automate Renewal Requests: Add a step to send renewal requests directly to your SSL provider if a certificate is nearing expiry.

Analyze Email Headers for IP Reputation and Spoofing Detection - Gmail

Analyze Emails for Security Insights Who is this for? This workflow is ideal for IT professionals, security analysts, and organizations looking to enhance their email security practices. It is particularly useful for those who need to analyze Gmail email headers for IP tracking, spoofing detection, and sender reputation assessment. What problem is this workflow solving?

Deduplicate Scraping AI Grants for Eligibility using AI

This n8n template scrapes a list of AI grants from grants.gov and qualifies them using AI; determining interest and eligibility for the business. It then sends an email alert of interesting items to team members in an email. The template also shows how you can use the "Remove Duplicates" node to simplify deduplication of external listings without the need to manage this yourself. Not particularly interested in AI Grants? This template works for other tender websites as long as you're able to scrape them. How it works A scheduled trigger is set to fetch a list of AI grants listed on the grants.gov website in the past day. A Remove Duplicates node is used to track Grant IDs to filter out those already processed by the workflow. New grants are summarized and analysed by AI nodes to determine eligibility and interest which is then saved to an Airtable database. Another scheduled trigger starts a little later than the first to collect and summarize the new grants The results are then compiled into an email template using the HTML node, in the form of a newsletter designed to alert and brief team members of new AI grants. This email is then sent to a list of subscribers using the gmail node. How to use Make a copy of sample Airtable here: https://airtable.com/appiNoPRvhJxz9crl/shrRdP6zstgsxjDKL The filters for fetching the grants is currently set to the "AI" category. Feel free to change this to include more categories. Not interested in grants, this template can works for other sources of leads just change the endpoint and how you're defining the item ID to track. Requirements Airtable for database OpenAI for LLM Note: These are not hard requirements and can be exchanged for services available to you. customising the workflow "Eligibility" criteria at this stage may be better served by identifying hard blockers instead ie. certifications, geographical considerations or certain legal checks. Be sure to mention any hard blockers into the Eligibility prompt. Not particularly interested in AI prompts? This template works for other tender websites as long as you're able to scrape them.
