Categorize Emails & Telegram Alerts with Azure OpenAI & Google Sheets

This n8n workflow automates email management by triggering on new incoming emails via IMAP (or adaptable to Gmail). It uses Azure OpenAI to intelligently classify emails based on subject and content into customizable categories, ensuring you stay on top of important messages without constant inbox checks.

Data from categorized emails is appended to Google Sheets for easy tracking, analysis, and historical reference. Telegram notifications are sent with category-specific alerts, allowing quick mobile responses. The workflow is highly flexible—add, modify categories, or branch logic for separate actions per category.

Ideal for busy professionals, it saves time by filtering noise, highlighting priorities (e.g., client inquiries, invoices), and providing a chat-friendly bot interface for missed emails. Benefits include reduced email overload, real-time mobile alerts, centralized logging, and scalability with self-hosted n8n community nodes. Perfect for sales, support, or personal productivity.
