Outlook AI Email Assistant with Monday & Airtable Contacts

This n8n workflow provides an advanced AI-powered email assistant for Microsoft Outlook, integrating seamlessly with Monday.com and Airtable. It consists of two main components: a daily contact synchronization from Monday.com boards to Airtable's Contacts table, ensuring your contact database stays current. The core AI Email Assistant fetches unread or filtered Outlook emails, cleans and processes content, matches them against Airtable contacts, retrieves custom rules and categories, and employs an OpenAI agent to classify, categorize, and prioritize emails. Results are applied back to Outlook by updating categories and importance flags.

Key benefits include massive time savings on email triage, reduced oversight of important messages, and customizable AI-driven rules for personalized workflows. It runs the sync daily via schedule trigger and processes emails in real-time or on-demand, supporting parallel operations for efficiency.

Ideal use cases: Busy professionals managing high email volumes (e.g., sales teams, executives), customer support handling inquiries, or any business needing automated email organization. Prerequisites include Outlook credentials, Monday API token, Airtable setup with provided template, and OpenAI key. Scale it by defining your own rules in Airtable for sales leads, urgent issues, or spam filtering.
