Automated Gmail Classification and Labeling Workflow

This n8n workflow automates the process of managing and categorizing incoming Gmail emails using AI-powered classification and label assignment. It streamlines email organization by automatically identifying email types and applying relevant labels, saving time and ensuring efficient inbox management.

The workflow begins with a Gmail trigger that detects new emails arriving in your inbox. It then fetches all available Gmail labels and maps label names to their corresponding IDs for easy reference. Simultaneously, the email content or snippets are sent to an AI language model (OpenRouter Chat Model) to classify the email according to predefined categories such as ‘To respond,’ ‘FYI,’ ‘Comment,’ ‘Notification,’ ‘Meeting update,’ ‘Awaiting reply,’ ‘Actioned,’ and ‘Marketing.’

Based on the classification result, the workflow merges the email data with the appropriate label ID, then applies this label to the email within Gmail to categorize it automatically.

This automation is exceptionally useful for managing large volumes of emails, prioritizing responses, and maintaining organized inboxes without manual effort. It is ideal for professionals, customer support teams, or anyone looking to enhance their email management efficiency through AI-powered automation.
