Gmail to Telegram: Email Summaries with OpenAI GPT-4o

🧑‍💼 Who is this for?

This workflow is for anyone who receives too many emails and wants to stay informed without drowning in their inbox.

If you're constantly checking your Gmail and wish you had someone summarizing messages and sending just the important parts to your phone, this is for you. Especially useful for solopreneurs, customer support, busy professionals, or newsletter addicts.

🧠 What problem is this workflow solving?

Email is powerful, but also overwhelming. Important info gets buried in threads, and staying on top of things can mean hours wasted scanning messages.

This workflow turns that chaos into clarity: as soon as a new email arrives, you get a concise AI-generated summary in Telegram — straight to your pocket.

No more checking Gmail constantly. No more missing key updates. Just a clean, human-style summary, written in the language you choose.

⚙️ What this workflow does

All in seconds, completely automated.

🛠️ Setup

Connect your accounts: Gmail, Telegram, and OpenAI credentials must be added to the respective nodes. Set your Telegram chat ID: Use a bot like @userinfobot to get it. Customize the language in the Set summary language node (default is English). Activate the workflow — and watch it go.

🧩 How to customize this workflow to your needs

You can make this workflow your own in a few easy ways:

Summarize only some emails**: Add a Filter node after the Gmail trigger (e.g., only messages from certain senders). Change the tone or detail of summaries**: Tweak the system prompt in the Summary generation agent. Use a different model**: Swap OpenAI’s GPT-4o for another provider like Claude or DeepSeek. Translate to your preferred language**: Just change "english" to "español", "français", etc.
