Automate Gmail Email Triage with Eisenhower Matrix & GPT

This n8n workflow integrates Gmail and OpenAI's GPT model to revolutionize email management. It triggers on new unread emails, analyzes content with a custom GPT prompt applying the Eisenhower Matrix, and categorizes them into Urgent+Important, Not Urgent+Important, Urgent+Not Important, or Not Urgent+Not Important. Based on classification, it applies corresponding Gmail labels and auto-archives low-value emails like promotions or spam.

Benefits include reclaiming hours daily from email overload, focusing on high-impact tasks, reducing decision fatigue, and maintaining an organized inbox. Ideal for executives, managers, and teams handling high email volumes, it ensures critical issues get immediate attention while delegable or schedulable items are flagged appropriately.

Use cases span busy professionals triaging investor updates, operations leads managing routine alerts, or assistants prioritizing executive correspondence. Setup involves creating four Gmail labels, configuring credentials, and activating the workflow for seamless automation.

The workflow's accuracy stems from tailored GPT prompts considering sender, subject, and body context, making it adaptable to personal or team inboxes with minimal tweaks.
