Effortless Email Management with AI-Powered Summarization & Review
How it Works This workflow automates the handling of incoming emails, summarizes their content, generates appropriate responses using a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approach, and obtains approval or suggestions before sending replies. Below is an explanation of its functionality divided into two main sections: Email Handling and Summarization: The process begins with the Email Trigger (IMAP) node which listens for new emails in a specified inbox. Once an email is received, the Markdown node converts its HTML content into plain text if necessary, followed by the Email Summarization Chain that uses AI to create a concise summary of up to 100 words. Response Generation and Approval: A Write email node generates a professional response based on the summarized content, ensuring brevity and professionalism while keeping within the word limit. Before sending out any automated replies, the system sends these drafts via Gmail for human review and approval through the Gmail node configured with free-text response options. If approved, the finalized email is sent back to the original sender using the Send Email node; otherwise, it loops back for further edits or manual intervention.

Run AI employee onboarding with Groq, Google Workspace, and Gemini
Quick overview This workflow ingests onboarding documents from Google Drive into an in-memory vector store with Google Gemini embeddings, then runs a multi-channel onboarding chatbot powered by Groq, sends role-based welcome emails via Gmail when a new hire appears in Google Sheets, and schedules day 1/7/30 check-in emails. How it works Manually runs an ingestion flow that lists files in a specified Google Drive folder, downloads them, extracts text, and indexes them into an in-memory vector store using Google Gemini embeddings. Receives employee questions via n8n Chat (and optionally Slack or Telegram), normalizes the message into a single format, and rejects empty or overly long inputs. Uses a Groq LLM agent with per-user session memory to retrieve relevant excerpts from the in-memory company_docs knowledge base and generate a grounded answer, or directs the user to HR when no relevant content is found. Routes the assistant’s response back to the originating channel (n8n Chat, and optionally Slack or Telegram).
