Automate Your Fastmail Inbox: Unread Message Alerts and Management
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your email management by automatically fetching and processing unread messages from your Fastmail account. This workflow helps you stay on top of your inbox without constant manual checking.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow leverages the Fastmail JMAP API to provide intelligent email management. It begins by fetching essential API session details and then retrieves your account and mailbox information. Subsequently, it queries your Fastmail inbox for unread messages, limiting the results to the top 3 for quick review. Finally, it fetches the full details of these unread emails, including sender, subject, and received date, enabling efficient triage and action. This automation is ideal for users who want to reduce inbox fatigue and ensure critical emails are not missed.
Key Features
- Automatic Unread Message Retrieval: Fetches the latest unread emails from your inbox.
- JMAP API Integration: Seamlessly connects with Fastmail's powerful JMAP API.
- Configurable Message Limit: Easily set the number of unread messages to fetch.
- Detailed Email Information: Retrieves sender, subject, and received date for unread messages.
- Efficient Inbox Triage: Enables faster decision-making on email importance.
How To Use
- Set up Fastmail Credentials: In n8n, create HTTP Header Auth credentials named 'Fastmail'. Configure the 'Authorization' header with the value 'Bearer YOUR_FASTMAIL_API_TOKEN' (replace YOUR_FASTMAIL_API_TOKEN with your actual token from Fastmail).
- Connect Trigger: Start the workflow by clicking the "Execute Workflow" button on the manual trigger node.
- Fetch API Session: The 'Fetch API details' node will connect to Fastmail's session endpoint using your credentials.
- Get Mailbox Information: The 'Get mailboxes' node will query for your account and mailbox IDs, specifically targeting the inbox.
- Format Results: The 'Format results' node extracts the necessary 'account_id' and 'mailbox_id' for subsequent API calls.
- Fetch Unread Messages: The 'Get unread messages' node uses the extracted IDs to query for the top 3 unread messages in your inbox, along with their details. Adjust the
limitparameter in the 'Email/query' method call if you need more or fewer messages.
