Streamline your inbox with this powerful n8n workflow. It leverages OpenAI to automatically classify incoming emails and extract crucial information from their content and attachments.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the complex task of email management by integrating with OpenAI's advanced AI models. It begins by fetching emails via IMAP, then intelligently classifies them into predefined categories like job applications, leads, or invoices. Simultaneously, it extracts key data points from both the email body and any attached documents (like resumes) using sophisticated information extraction. This ensures that valuable information is not missed and is ready for further processing or routing to the appropriate team or system, dramatically improving operational efficiency and response times.
