Managing your inbox can feel like a full-time job. Some emails deserve an instant response, others need thoughtful handling, and many don’t need a reply at all.

This workflow takes that weight off your shoulders by combining AI intelligence with human oversight, so you spend less time sorting and more time focusing on what matters.

Why This Workflow Matters

Think about how much energy gets drained just deciding:

  • Should I reply to this now?
  • Is this too sensitive for an automatic response?
  • Or is this just noise I can safely ignore?

This workflow does that decision-making for you. With the help of Google Gemini, it reads each incoming email, categorizes it, and then either:

  • Replies instantly with a warm, professional message,
  • Prepares a draft reply for you to review,
  • Or does nothing if the message is irrelevant.

It’s like having a personal assistant who knows when to step in and when to leave things for you.

Benefits You’ll Notice

  • Clarity in your inbox: No more second-guessing which emails need your attention.
  • Faster replies: Routine messages get answered automatically in seconds.
  • Peace of mind: Sensitive or complex topics are flagged for your review, you’re always in control.
  • Less mental clutter: By ignoring noise (marketing blasts, spam, automated notifications), you can focus on meaningful conversations.
  • Consistency: Every reply feels polite, professional, and human, without you lifting a finger.

Over time, you’ll notice your inbox feels lighter, your response times improve, and your focus shifts back to real work rather than inbox triage.

How It Works

  1. Gmail Trigger catches every new incoming email.
  2. AI Categorizer decides whether the message should be:
    • Reply (safe to answer immediately),
    • Draft (needs your review),
    • Nothing (ignore).
  3. AI Writer generates either a ready-to-send reply or a draft that feels natural and professional.
  4. Gmail Integration then either sends, drafts, or ignores, based on the AI’s decision.

Use Cases

  • Customer support: Quick replies for common questions, while important issues get drafted for your review.
  • Freelancers & solopreneurs: Keep clients happy with fast replies, but stay safe on sensitive topics.
  • Personal inbox management: Lighten the load of newsletters, promotions, and low-value emails.

Requirements

  • An n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud).
  • A Gmail account connected via OAuth2 in n8n.
  • Google Gemini API access for AI categorization and drafting.
  • Basic familiarity with n8n workflows and how to connect credentials.

FAQ

Q: Will this replace my judgment entirely?
No. It only automates what’s safe. Complex or sensitive emails are always drafted for you to review.

Q: Can I customize how the AI writes replies?
Yes. You can adjust the prompt inside the workflow to match your own style and tone.

Q: What happens if the AI misclassifies an email?
At worst, you’ll get a draft instead of an auto-reply. You’ll never lose control over sensitive communication.

Q: Does this cost extra to run?
Using Gmail via n8n is free, but you’ll need Google Gemini API access, which may come with its own usage limits or costs.

⚠️ Important Note:
This workflow comes with no support. You need to be comfortable working with n8n, credentials, and AI nodes on your own. It’s provided as-is for the community to experiment with and adapt.

Start using it, and you’ll quickly see how much lighter your inbox feels.
