AI-Powered Lead Email Classification & Auto-Reply with GPT-4 and Gmail
## How it works This workflow automatically responds to incoming emails identified as potential leads using AI-generated text. It connects to your email inbox via IMAP, classifies incoming messages with an AI model, filters out non-leads, and sends a personalized reply to relevant messages. ## Steps 1. **Email Trigger (IMAP):** Watches your inbox for new emails in real time. 2. **Is Lead? (Message Model):** Uses AI to determine whether the sender is a lead. 3. **Filter:** Passes only lead emails to the next step. 4. **Write Customized Reply (Message Model):** Generates a personalized response using AI. 5. **Get Message:** Retrieves original email details to ensure correct threading. 6. **Reply to Message:** Sends the AI-generated reply to the sender. ## Setup Instructions - Connect your **IMAP Email** credentials to the first node and set the folder to watch (e.g., INBOX). - In the Filter leads node, adjust the AI prompt to match your lead qualification criteria. - In the Reply with customized message node, edit the AI prompt to reflect your product, service, or business tone. - Connect your **Gmail** (or other email provider) credentials in the Get Message and Reply to Message nodes. - Test with a few sample emails before activating. ## Requirements - IMAP-enabled email account (for receiving messages) - Gmail API access (or modify to your email provider) - OpenAI or other AI model credentials for message analysis and reply generation This template is ready to use, with all steps documented inside sticky notes for easy customization.
