## Who is this for?
Professionals, solopreneurs, or productivity enthusiasts who want to keep their Gmail inbox clean and organized without manual effort.
## What problem does this solve?
Manually archiving emails clutters your time and slows you down. This workflow automates inbox cleanup by removing the **INBOX** label from messages received over 24 hours ago. A perfect companion to AI-based labeling workflows, this keeps your inbox light and relevant.
## What this workflow does
- Triggers every day at **4 AM**
- Fetches Gmail messages from the **INBOX** that are **older than 24 hours**
- Processes them one by one using the **Split Out** node
- Removes the **INBOX** label, effectively archiving the messages
## Setup
1. Connect your Gmail account using OAuth2 credentials.
2. Customize the **Schedule Trigger** node to adjust the run time.
3. Modify the Gmail filter if you want to archive unread or labeled emails instead.
## How to customize this workflow to your needs
- Schedule different frequencies (e.g., twice a day or weekly).
