Revolutionize your email handling with this powerful n8n workflow. It meticulously processes incoming emails via IMAP, leveraging AI to first condense their content into concise summaries. Following this, an intelligent AI agent crafts professional, contextually relevant replies, adhering to your specified guidelines. The genius lies in its "human-in-the-loop" design: before any email is sent, it awaits your explicit approval. This critical step ensures accuracy, maintains brand voice, and prevents erroneous communications, offering the perfect synergy of AI speed and human precision for your daily operations.
