AI Email Responder with Human Approval (IMAP)

This workflow streamlines email management by triggering on new IMAP emails, converting them to Markdown for optimal AI processing, generating concise summaries, and drafting professional responses using AI models like OpenAI. A human-in-the-loop step ensures quality control before the approved reply is sent back via SMTP.

Key benefits include massive time savings for busy teams, consistent professional communication, reduced response times, and minimized errors through AI assistance combined with human oversight. It's ideal for customer support, sales, or executive inboxes handling high volumes.

Use cases: Automate support tickets by summarizing inquiries and pre-drafting replies; manage sales leads with personalized AI responses; or handle internal communications efficiently. Setup requires IMAP/SMTP credentials and an OpenAI key, with sticky notes guiding configuration. Deploy in n8n for instant activation and test with sample emails.
