The problem

An inbox that mixes leads, invoices, newsletters, and support requests forces the owner to context-switch through every single message before deciding what to act on.

How it works

input

Every new Gmail message triggers the workflow the moment it arrives.

process

GPT-4o-mini classifies the email into intent categories (lead, invoice, support, newsletter, personal) and extracts key metadata. n8n applies Gmail labels and routes copies to the right destinations.

output

A self-organizing inbox — the owner opens Gmail and sees clean, pre-sorted labels with only real signal in the priority view.
