This n8n workflow acts as an AI-powered Inbox Assistant that automatically summarizes and classifies Gmail emails, prioritizes important messages, and sends a daily digest to Slack. It’s ideal for startup founders and small teams juggling investor intros, customer leads, and support queries — all from a busy Gmail inbox. Each email is processed using ChatGPT to generate a concise summary, classify the message (e.g., Support, Investor, Spam), and determine its urgency. High and medium priority messages are forwarded to Slack instantly. Lower priority emails are logged to Google Sheets for review. A daily 7 PM digest summarizes the day’s most important messages. 💡 Use Cases Preventing missed investor or lead emails Lightweight CRM alternative using Google Sheets Slack summaries of critical Gmail activity 🔧 How It Works Gmail node fetches new messages ChatGPT summarizes and extracts urgency + type High/medium urgency → sent to Slack + labeled in Gmail Low urgency → logged in Google Sheets Cron node triggers a daily 7 PM Slack summary ✅ Requirements OpenAI API Key (GPT-4 or GPT-4o recommended) Gmail access with read and label permission Slack Bot Token or Webhook URL Google Sheets integration (optional) 🛠 Customization Ideas Replace Slack with Telegram or WhatsApp Route investor leads to Airtable or Notion Add multi-language support in ChatGPT prompt Create weekly summaries via email
