Gmail and HTTP Request Tool integration

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

How to connect Gmail and HTTP Request Tool

  • 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.
