detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly transform incoming emails into actionable tasks on your Nextcloud Deck boards. This workflow automatically reads your inbox, processes email content, and creates new cards, streamlining your project management and ensuring no task falls through the cracks.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow revolutionizes how you manage your tasks by bridging the gap between your email and your Nextcloud Deck project management system. Imagine never having to manually copy-paste information from an email to create a new task again. This automation does exactly that: it monitors your IMAP inbox for new messages, intelligently extracts and cleans the email's body content, stripping away HTML formatting to leave you with plain text. It then uses this processed information to create a new card directly within your specified Nextcloud Deck board and stack. This not only saves you valuable time but also centralizes your to-do items, ensuring that important requests and action items from your inbox are immediately visible and manageable within your project workflow.
