Automated Inbound Order Processing with AI & Google Sheets

This n8n workflow automates the processing of inbound order emails received via Gmail. When an email with the subject containing ‘Inbound Order’ arrives, the workflow triggers an AI-powered data extraction process. The AI agent, configured with a custom prompt, parses the email to identify key details: the purchase order number, expected delivery date, and order lines with SKU IDs and quantities. These extracted details are then formatted into structured JSON and appended as rows in a Google Sheet, facilitating seamless order tracking and inventory management. This workflow is practical for logistics teams or businesses handling large volumes of inbound orders, enabling them to automate data entry and reduce manual effort.
