Build 34 # AI Email management
Just shipped an AI Email Management Agent inside n8n — and it's creating an issue of nodes while importing JSON Here’s exactly how it works: 1. Gmail Listener (Intake Layer) Checks your Gmail every 5 minutes. Pulls: – sender – subject – full body – attachments – direct email link This is your “always awake” inbox watches 2. System Configuration Layer Stores your: – Notion Tasks DB – Slack alert channel – Google Drive folder for attachments Once set, you never touch these again. 3. AI Email Classifier (The Brain) This is where the magic happens. AI reads the email and sorts it into: Urgent Money Clients Tasks Other Plus it extracts: summary, priority, action items, people, dates, amounts — everything. It even flags isUrgent = true when needed. 4. Smart Alert Router If it’s urgent → Sends a red-alert message in Slack. If not → Sends a regular update. Never miss what’s actually important again. 5. Notion Task Creator Every email becomes a fresh, clean task with: title category priority sender summary link to email Your task list updates itself while you do… absolutely nothing. 6. AI Reply Generator Reads the whole context and writes the perfect reply: urgent → acknowledgment + timeline money → confirmation + clarity clients → warm + helpful tasks → clear next steps other → short + professional You basically stop writing emails. 7. Attachment Manager If the email has files → Automatically uploads them to Google Drive. No more “Where did I save that PDF?” This turns Gmail into a fully automated operations system — without hiring a VA and without touching your inbox. What should I add to improve this?
