Automatically Rename Gmail Attachments with GPT-4 and Save to Google Drive

## Automatically Rename Gmail Attachments with AI and Save to Google Drive ### Who is this for? This workflow is perfect for anyone who regularly receives important email attachments like reports, invoices, or PDFs and wants them: - Renamed using clean AI-generated filenames - Automatically saved to a specific Google Drive folder - Neatly organized without manual work It is ideal for freelancers, business owners, accountants, and productivity enthusiasts. ### What does it solve? Manually naming and organizing email attachments takes time and often leads to messy files. This workflow solves that by: - Automatically downloading unread Gmail attachments - Using AI to understand the content and generate clean, consistent filenames - Saving the renamed files to your chosen Google Drive folder - Marking emails as read after processing No more confusing filenames like Attachment1.pdf. ### How it works 1. The workflow runs on a scheduled interval (every hour by default). 2. It checks Gmail for any unread emails with attachments. 3. For each email: - Downloads attachments - Extracts and reads PDF content - Uses AI to generate a new filename in the format: `YYYYMMDD-keyword-summary.pdf` 4. Saves the file to Google Drive with the new name. 5. Marks the email as read to avoid duplicates. ### How to set up? 1. Connect these accounts in your n8n credentials: - Gmail (OAuth2) - Google Drive (OAuth2) - OpenAI (API key) 2. Update the folder URL in the Google Drive node to your target folder. 3. Optional: adjust the trigger interval if you want it to run more or less often. ### How to customize this workflow to your needs - Change the AI prompt to create different naming rules, such as including sender or topic. - Dynamically set Drive folders based on email sender or subject.
