How It Works
This n8n automation leverages Gmail Trigger as the primary workflow initiator, automatically detecting new incoming emails. When a new email arrives, the workflow captures key email metadata including sender, subject, timestamp, and content. These details are then systematically mapped and inserted as a new row in a predefined Google Sheets spreadsheet. The Sticky Note node can be used for additional logging or annotations, while the Stop and Error node ensures workflow reliability by managing potential integration exceptions.
