Automated Email Categorization and Prioritization Workflow

This n8n workflow is designed to automate the process of analyzing, categorizing, and prioritizing emails using AI and integrations with Outlook, Airtable, Monday.com, and OpenAI. Starting with a manual trigger for testing, it fetches recent emails from Outlook, filters out flagged or already categorized messages, and sanitizes email content by removing HTML and unnecessary data. Using AI-powered analysis via GPT-4, it classifies each email into predefined categories, assigns priorities such as importance, and updates the email’s categories and importance in Outlook accordingly. The workflow also pulls contact information from Monday.com and Airtable to enhance context and update contact records. This setup is practical for streamlining email management, ensuring important messages are prioritized, and maintaining organized contact records, especially useful for busy teams managing client and supplier communication.
