Automatic Gmail categorization and labeling with AI
This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. Who is this for? If your inbox is full of unread emails, this workflow is for you. Instead of reading through them one by one, let AI do the sorting. It reads your emails and flags only what needs action. What does it solve? This workflow reads your unread Gmail emails and uses AI to decide what’s important — and what’s not. It labels emails that need your attention, identifies receipts, and trashes everything else. No more manual reading. Just an inbox that uses AI to take care of itself. How it works Every hour, the workflow runs automatically. It searches for unread emails in your Gmail inbox. For each email: It extracts the content and sends it to OpenAI. The AI returns one of four labels: Action, Receipt, Informational or Spam. Based on the label: Emails are marked with the appropriate label. Or moved to trash it is spam. It marks the email as read once processed. How to set up? Connect these services in your n8n credentials: Gmail (OAuth2) OpenAI (API key) Create the Gmail labels: In your Gmail account, create these labels exactly as written: Action, Receipt, and Informational The workflow will apply these labels based on AI classification. How to customize this workflow to your needs Change the AI prompt to detect more types of emails like Meeting or Newsletter. Add more branches to the Switch node to apply custom logic. Change the schedule to fit your workflow. By default, it runs every hour, but you can update this in the Schedule Trigger node.

That way, you can focus on strategy instead of sorting through dozens of reviews. --- What this workflow does This automation watches for new competitor entries in a Google Sheet, then: Uses Dumpling AI to scrape the latest Google reviews (up to 20) for each business.

By YangMonitor domains & IPs on AbuseIPDB blacklist with Slack alerts
⚙ How It Works The automated blacklist monitor is designed to be a proactive, not reactive, tool. Here is the high-level process: Scheduled Checks: At regular intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes or every hour), a monitoring script or service sends a request to a list of predefined DNS blacklists (DNSBLs) and real-time blackhole lists (RBLs). Lookup Queries: For each check, the system performs a lookup query for our specified domains and IP addresses against the various blacklists. It essentially asks, "Is our-ip-address.com on your list?" Status Evaluation: The blacklist service responds with a status: either the asset is clean or it is listed. Alerting Mechanism: If a new listing is detected, the system immediately triggers a notification. This alert contains key information like the asset that was blacklisted (domain or IP), the specific blacklist it was found on (e.g., Spamhaus), and the time of detection. Status Logging: The status of each asset (clean or listed) is logged in a central dashboard. This allows us to track the history of an IP or domain, see when a listing occurred, and when it was resolved. --- Setup Steps Follow these steps to set up the automated blacklist monitor. Select a Service: Choose a reliable blacklist monitoring service. Services like MXToolBox, HetrixTools, or Uptime Robot (with custom checks) are popular options. Create an Account: Sign up and create an account for your organization on the chosen platform. Add Monitored Assets: Navigate to the "Monitors" or "Assets" section within the service's dashboard. Add all of the following: Your primary domain names (e.g., yourcompany.com). All outbound mail server IP addresses. Any other publicly facing IP addresses associated with your business. Configure Notification Channels: Set up how and where you want to receive alerts. The best practice is to configure multiple channels for redundancy: Email: Send alerts to a group alias like security@yourcompany.com or it-alerts@yourcompany.com. Chat/IM: Integrate with a communication tool like Slack or Microsoft Teams and create a dedicated channel (e.g., blacklist-alerts). Ticketing System: Configure the service to automatically open a ticket in your help desk software (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow) when a new listing is found. Set Up Check Frequency: Configure how often you want the system to perform checks. A frequency of every 15 to 30 minutes is a good starting point for a high-priority service like email. Create a Runbook: A runbook is a document that outlines the steps to take when an alert is received. Create and share a runbook with your team that includes: Confirmation: How to verify the listing. Investigation: Initial steps to find the root cause (e.g., checking mail logs for spam). Delisting: How to submit a delisting request to the specific blacklist provider. Initial Testing: Once everything is configured, perform a manual check to ensure the system is working and that all notification channels are active. You can often do this with a "test check" button within the monitoring service's dashboard.
By MarthExtract & analyze Amazon reviews with Apify, Gemini AI & save to Google Sheets
Template Description 📝 Template Title Analyze Amazon product reviews with Gemini and save to Google Sheets 📄 Description This workflow automates the process of analyzing customer feedback on Amazon products. Instead of manually reading through hundreds of reviews, this template scrapes reviews (specifically targeting negative feedback), uses Google Gemini (AI) to analyze the root causes of dissatisfaction, and generates specific improvement suggestions. The results are automatically logged into a Google Sheet for easy tracking, and a Slack notification is sent to keep your team updated. This tool is essential for understanding "Voice of Customer" data efficiently without manual data entry. 🧍 Who is this for Product Managers looking for product improvement ideas. E-commerce Sellers (Amazon FBA, D2C) monitoring brand reputation. Market Researchers analyzing competitor weaknesses. Customer Support Teams identifying recurring issues. ⚙️ How it works Data Collection: The workflow triggers the Apify actor (junglee/amazon-reviews-scraper) to fetch reviews from a specified Amazon product URL. It is currently configured to filter for 1 and 2-star reviews to focus on complaints. AI Analysis: It loops through each review and sends the content to Google Gemini. The AI determines a sentiment score (1-5), categorizes the issue (Quality, Design, Shipping, etc.), summarizes the complaint, and proposes a concrete improvement plan. Formatting: A Code node parses the AI's response to ensure it is in a clean JSON format. Storage: The structured data is appended as a new row in a Google Sheet. Notification: A Slack message is sent to your specified channel to confirm the batch analysis is complete. 🛠️ Requirements n8n (Self-hosted or Cloud) Apify Account: You need to rent the junglee/amazon-reviews-scraper actor. Google Cloud Account: For accessing the Gemini (PaLM) API and Google Sheets API. Slack Account: For receiving notifications. 🚀 How to set up Apify Config: Enter your Apify API token in the credentials. In the "Run an Actor" node, update the startUrls to the Amazon product page you want to analyze. Google Sheets: Create a new Google Sheet with the following header columns: sentiment_score, category, summary, improvement. Copy the Spreadsheet ID into the Google Sheets node. AI Prompt: The "Message a model" node contains the prompt. It is currently set to output results in Japanese. If you need English output, simply translate the prompt text inside this node. Slack: Select the channel where you want to receive notifications in the Slack node.

Manually creating invoice in Word takes 25 minutes including calculation checks, formatting fixes, and finding bank details. Client expects invoice same day to process Monday payment. Solution: Designer clicks "Invoice Now" button in project management tool which triggers webhook. Workflow validates project details, generates branded invoice with itemized design services, converts to PDF, emails to client, and saves to Drive. Designer receives Slack notification confirming invoice sent. Result: Invoice delivered in 45 seconds instead of 25 minutes. Client receives professional invoice within 2 minutes of project completion. Designer saves 24 minutes and impresses client with speed. Payment received Monday morning. Over 50 projects annually, saves 20+ hours and increases cash flow by receiving payments 2-3 days faster. Annual impact: $3,500 in saved time plus faster payment collection. SaaS Startup Example SaaS company with 250 subscription customers needs monthly invoices. Finance manager manually creates invoices in spreadsheet, exports to PDF, and emails individually. Process takes 2 full days monthly causing invoice delivery delays. Solution: Connects workflow to Stripe subscription billing. When subscription renews, Stripe webhook triggers invoice generation. Customer name, email, subscription tier, and amount flow automatically. Invoice generates with payment link back to Stripe customer portal. Result: All 250 invoices delivered automatically on billing date. Zero manual work required. Customers receive invoices instantly with one-click payment links. Subscription payment collection improves from 85% to 96% in first week. Finance manager reallocates 2 days monthly to strategic analysis. Annual impact: saves 192 hours ($9,600 value) plus $18,000 additional revenue from improved collection rates. Marketing Agency Example Agency invoices 35 retainer clients on 1st of month. Account managers manually compile billable hours, adjust for change orders, calculate totals, and send invoices. Inconsistent formatting causes client confusion and payment delays. Solution: Time tracking system triggers webhook on last day of month with billable hours per client. Workflow generates consistent invoices with itemized service breakdown (social media hours, content creation, ad spend, strategy consulting). Each client receives branded invoice with their specific services. Result: All 35 invoices generated and delivered by 8 AM on 1st of month. 100% brand consistency across all invoices. Client questions reduce by 70% due to clear itemization. Payment speed increases - average collection time drops from 38 days to 24 days. Annual impact: saves 30 hours monthly ($18,000 annually) plus $85,000 improved cash flow from faster collections. Web Development Studio Example Studio completes 12-15 client projects monthly. Invoicing delayed until projects 100% complete causes cash flow gaps. Manually creating milestone invoices for larger projects creates accounting burden. Solution: Project management system triggers invoice on milestone completion (50% deposit, 75% progress payment, final 25%). Workflow automatically generates invoice for milestone amount with reference to project scope and completion percentage. Result: Cash flow improves dramatically with milestone billing. Studio receives payments throughout project instead of only at end. Clients appreciate transparency of milestone invoicing. Payment disputes reduce by 85% since expectations clear. Annual impact: improved cash flow worth $145,000 in working capital plus 40 hours monthly saved (20,000 dollar annual value). Healthcare Clinic Example Medical practice sends 200+ patient invoices monthly for services not covered by insurance. Billing staff manually creates invoices in practice management system, exports to PDF, and mails or emails. Process error-prone and time-consuming. Solution: Integrates workflow with electronic health records (EHR). When service marked as patient-pay, webhook triggers invoice generation with CPT codes, service descriptions, and amounts. Invoice includes payment plan options and online payment link. Result: Invoices sent same day as service instead of 5-7 days later. Patients receive clear, itemized invoices with multiple payment options. Online payment adoption increases from 15% to 62%. Collection rate improves from 73% to 89%. Billing staff reallocates time to insurance follow-up and patient support. Annual impact: saves 25 hours monthly ($15,000 annually) plus $78,000 additional collections.
