Fundamental Automated Gmail Email Tagging Using OpenAI and Gmail API

How it works

The workflow begins with the

Gmail Trigger

node, which listens for incoming emails. When a new email arrives, this node activates the workflow and retrieves the email's content, including the subject and body. The data from the email is then passed to the next node, which is the

OpenAI

node. This node utilizes the OpenAI API to analyze the email's content. Specifically, it generates a prompt based on the email's body and requests a response that includes suggested labels for categorization.
Once the OpenAI node processes the email content, it returns a response containing the suggested labels. This output is then sent to the

Gmail API

node, which is responsible for applying the generated labels to the original email. The Gmail API node uses the email ID from the trigger node to identify the correct email and applies the labels as specified in the OpenAI response. Finally, the workflow concludes with the successful tagging of the email, enhancing the organization and categorization of incoming messages.

Key Features

1. Automated Email Tagging:

The workflow automates the process of labeling emails based on their content, reducing manual effort and improving efficiency.

2. AI-Powered Analysis:

By leveraging OpenAI, the workflow intelligently assesses email content and generates relevant labels, ensuring accurate categorization.

3. Seamless Integration with Gmail:

The workflow integrates directly with the Gmail API, allowing for real-time tagging of incoming emails without user intervention.

4. Customizable Labels:

Users can modify the prompts sent to OpenAI to tailor the labeling process to their specific needs, enhancing the workflow's adaptability.

5. Real-Time Processing:

The workflow responds to incoming emails in real-time, ensuring that emails are categorized promptly as they arrive.

Tools Integration

The workflow utilizes the following tools and integrations:

- Gmail Trigger Node:

Captures incoming emails to initiate the workflow.

- OpenAI Node:

Analyzes the content of the email and generates suggested labels.

- Gmail API Node:

Applies the generated labels to the corresponding email in the user's Gmail account.

API Keys Required

To successfully run this workflow, the following API keys and credentials are required:

1. OpenAI API Key:

Needed to authenticate requests to the OpenAI API for content analysis and label generation.

2. Gmail API Credentials:

Required to access the Gmail API for reading emails and applying labels. This includes OAuth 2.0 credentials for user authentication.

No additional API keys or credentials are necessary beyond those specified above.
