Automate Your Email Attachments: From Gmail to Google Drive
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly manage your email attachments by automatically saving them to Google Drive. This workflow triggers on new, unread emails from a specific sender and intelligently routes attachments based on file size.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow streamlines your email attachment management process. It's designed to monitor your Gmail inbox for new, unread emails from a designated sender. Upon detection, it meticulously processes any attachments, splitting them out for individual handling. The workflow then intelligently categorizes these attachments based on their file size, routing larger files for potential further action (like notifications) and smaller files to Google Drive's 'misc' folder. This ensures your important documents are securely stored and organized, freeing up your time and reducing manual effort.
Key Features
- Smart Gmail Trigger: Automatically detects new, unread emails from a specified sender.
- Attachment Handling: Downloads and processes all attachments included in trigger emails.
- Intelligent File Routing: Sorts attachments by size, allowing for conditional actions.
- Seamless Google Drive Integration: Saves processed attachments directly to your Google Drive.
- Customizable Rules: Easily adjust file size thresholds for routing.
How To Use
- Configure Gmail Trigger: Connect your Gmail account and set the sender's email address and 'unread' status as filters. Enable attachment downloading.
- Split Attachments: Use the 'Split Out' node to process each attachment individually.
- Define File Size Rules: Configure the 'Switch' node to set criteria for 'Large Files' and 'Medium Files' based on attachment size.
- Set Up Actions: For each category in the 'Switch' node, configure the subsequent nodes. For example, for 'Medium Files', set up the 'Google Drive' node to save the attachment to your desired folder, specifying the file name.
- Implement Fallback/Notifications: For 'Large Files' or other conditions, configure actions like sending a notification or a 'No Operation' placeholder for manual review.
