AI-powered email processing autoresponder and response approval (Yes/No)

n8n template #2861

Summary

How it Works This workflow is designed to automate the process of handling incoming emails, summarizing their content, generating appropriate responses, and obtaining approval before sending replies. Below are the key operational steps: Email Reception and Summarization: The workflow starts with an Email Trigger (IMAP) node that listens for new emails in a specified inbox. Once an email is received, its HTML content is processed by a Markdown node to convert it into plain text if necessary, followed by an Email Summarization Chain node which uses AI to create a concise summary of the email's content using prompts tailored for this purpose. Response Generation and Approval: A Write email node

How to set it up

Open template #2861 on n8n.io and click Use for free, or copy the template JSON and paste it onto an empty canvas in n8n.
Create 5 credentials under Credentials → Add credential: Send Email, Gmail, Embeddings OpenAI, OpenAI Chat Model, Qdrant Vector Store. Then open each of those nodes and pick the credential.
Check the model in the AI Agent node. The template may point at a model your account can't use; swap it for one you have access to.
Click Execute workflow and step through each node's output to confirm the data looks right.
Toggle the workflow to Active so its trigger runs on its own.
