How It Works
The Gmail Workflow leverages n8n's powerful node-based automation to create a sophisticated email processing pipeline. When a new email arrives, the manual trigger activates the workflow, initiating data extraction processes. The Gmail node captures message details, which are then parsed and transferred to a spreadsheet file. Advanced binary data movement capabilities allow for attachment handling, while sticky note and error management nodes provide robust logging and exception tracking. Each step is configurable, enabling precise routing and transformation of email-derived information.
