AI-Powered Fastmail Drafts: Automate Your Email Responses
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your email management with this n8n workflow that uses AI to automatically draft responses to new incoming emails. Integrate seamlessly with your Fastmail account to save AI-generated replies directly to your drafts folder for quick review and sending.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow revolutionizes how you handle your inbox by leveraging the intelligence of OpenAI's GPT-4o model. It continuously monitors your IMAP-enabled email account for new messages. Upon receiving an email, the workflow extracts key details like the subject and content, then passes them to OpenAI to generate a contextually relevant and casually toned draft response. Crucially, it then integrates directly with your Fastmail account via JMAP to save this AI-generated reply into your drafts folder, ready for your final review. This allows you to maintain human oversight while significantly cutting down on the time spent on initial email responses.

- Automated Draft Creation: Automatically saves AI-generated responses as drafts in your Fastmail account, specifically linked to the original email.
- Seamless Fastmail Integration: Connects directly with Fastmail's JMAP API to manage email drafts efficiently.
- Customizable Prompting: The OpenAI node includes a detailed prompt for generating responses with appropriate greetings, sign-offs, and formality (English/German).
