Automate Email Analysis and Phishing Detection
detail.loadingPreview
This workflow automates the monitoring of your Gmail and Outlook inboxes, extracts key email content, and leverages AI to analyze and detect potential phishing attempts. It captures email bodies and headers to provide detailed insights and alerts.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow is designed to bring intelligent automation to your email management. It continuously monitors your Gmail and Outlook accounts for new messages, extracting crucial data such as HTML and text bodies, subjects, and recipients. The extracted information is then meticulously processed, including formatting complex headers, before being sent to a state-of-the-art AI model, ChatGPT. This AI analyzes the content and headers to assess the likelihood of a phishing attack, providing you with actionable insights and enhanced security. The workflow can generate a visual representation (screenshot) of the email for further review, making it an invaluable tool for proactive security and efficient email handling.
Key Features
- Multi-Platform Email Triggering: Seamlessly integrates with both Gmail and Microsoft Outlook to capture incoming emails.
- Intelligent Data Extraction: Automatically extracts HTML body, text content, subject lines, and recipient information.
- AI-Powered Phishing Detection: Utilizes ChatGPT to analyze email content and headers for suspicious patterns, identifying potential phishing attempts.
- Visual Email Representation: Generates screenshots of email HTML content for a quick visual assessment.
- Customizable AI Prompts: Allows for detailed instructions to the AI for specific analysis requirements.
How To Use
- Configure Email Triggers: Set up the 'Gmail Trigger' and/or 'Microsoft Outlook Trigger' nodes with your respective account credentials and desired polling intervals (e.g., every minute).
- Set Email Variables: Connect the output of your chosen email trigger to the corresponding 'Set Email Variables' node (e.g., 'Set Gmail Variables' or 'Set Outlook Variables'). Ensure the variable assignments correctly map the email data.
- Retrieve Email Headers (Outlook Specific): For Outlook, connect the trigger to the 'Retrieve Headers of Email' node to fetch detailed headers. Then, connect this to the 'Format Headers' node for easier processing.
- Generate Email Screenshot: Connect the 'Set Email Variables' node to the 'Screenshot HTML' node. Ensure the 'html' parameter is correctly mapped to the
htmlBodyvariable. - Retrieve Screenshot: Connect the 'Screenshot HTML' node to the 'Retrieve Screenshot' node to get the generated image URL.
- Analyze with ChatGPT: Connect the relevant 'Set Email Variables' node (which contains the
htmlBodyand potentiallyheaders) to the 'Analyze Email with ChatGPT' node. Configure the prompt to instruct the AI on what analysis to perform, including specifying the desired JSON output structure. - Connect and Execute: Ensure all nodes are connected logically and execute the workflow.
