Automated Email Triage: Gmail, GPT-4o & Slack Alerts

This n8n workflow automates email triage by scanning your Gmail inbox every 4 hours for new emails. Powered by GPT-4o, it intelligently classifies each email by Urgency (High, Medium, Low) and Intent (Awaiting Reply, To Respond, Comment, Notification, Marketing), generates concise summaries, and auto-tags emails with custom Gmail labels like 'AI Agent/To Respond'. Processed emails are logged into a Google Sheet for tracking, with Sheet2 holding the latest batch for easy digest views.

Actionable Slack messages are posted with prioritized summaries: urgent high-priority emails get immediate alerts, while digests cover medium/low ones. This eliminates inbox FOMO, filters noise like marketing, and surfaces critical threads needing responses, enabling fast async decision-making.

Key benefits include reduced cognitive load, team updates on priorities, and time savings by avoiding constant inbox checks. Ideal use cases: busy professionals staying on top of replies/follow-ups, sales teams triaging leads, executives delegating notifications, or any team reducing email fatigue via AI-driven sorting and Slack integration.
