Automate Your Email Workflow with Fastmail and AI
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your email management by automatically processing incoming emails, generating AI-powered responses, and saving them as drafts in Fastmail. This workflow leverages n8n to connect your email client with powerful AI for efficient communication.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates a critical aspect of email management: responding to incoming messages. It begins by fetching unseen emails via IMAP, then extracts key information like the sender, subject, and plain text content. Leveraging the power of OpenAI, it generates a casual, context-aware response tailored to the original email's content and formality. The workflow also integrates with Fastmail's API to identify the 'drafts' mailbox and subsequently uploads the AI-generated response as a draft, ready for your review and final send. This empowers users to manage their inboxes more efficiently, ensuring timely and appropriate communication without manual effort.
Key Features
- Automated Email Processing: Automatically detects and processes unseen incoming emails.
- AI-Powered Response Generation: Utilizes OpenAI to craft contextually relevant and appropriately formal responses.
- Seamless Fastmail Integration: Connects directly with your Fastmail account to read emails and save drafts.
- Customizable Response Logic: Easily tweak the AI prompt for specific response styles and languages.
- Draft Management: Saves generated responses to your Fastmail drafts folder for easy review and editing.
How To Use
- Connect Your Email: Configure the 'Email Trigger (IMAP)' node with your IMAP credentials to access your email account.
- Set up Fastmail API: Ensure your Fastmail account is set up for API access and provide the necessary credentials in the 'Session' and 'Get Mailbox IDs' nodes.
- Configure OpenAI: Provide your OpenAI API key and select your preferred model (e.g., GPT-4o) in the 'OpenAI' node. Adjust the prompt to define your desired response style.
- Map Email Fields: The 'Get fields from source email' node automatically extracts relevant data. Verify these mappings are correct for your needs.
- Define Drafts Folder: In the 'Filter for drafts folder' node, ensure the condition correctly identifies your 'drafts' mailbox.
- Upload Drafts: The 'upload draft email' node is configured to send the AI-generated response to your Fastmail drafts. Review the 'to', 'subject', and 'bodyValues' parameters to ensure they align with your desired outcome.
