Auto-Categorize Outlook Emails with AI in n8n How It Works Trigger: The workflow starts with the Microsoft Outlook Trigger node, polling your inbox every minute for new emails. Extract & Clean Email Content: The email’s key fields (from, subject, isRead, body) are extracted. The body is converted from HTML to Markdown, then sanitized to plain text for reliable AI processing. Node Setup Details: Microsoft Outlook Trigger Resource: Message Operation: Trigger on new email Fields to Output: from, subject, isRead(optional), body Folders to Include: (Set to your Inbox or specific folder IDs) Markdown Node Input: {{$json"body"}} (HTML email body) Output Key: Email Body Markdown Purpose: Converts HTML to Markdown for easier downstream processing. Sanitize Node (Code Node) Input: Email Body Markdown from previous node Purpose: Cleans up Markdown, strips images, links, HTML tags, table formatting, and truncates to 4000 characters. Sample JS Code: // Get the markdown content from the previous node const markdownContent = $input.item.json["Email Body Markdown"]; Setup AI tools Move message and Get Folders Outlook tools are required, get contacts is optional. Set each field in the tools to "defined automatically by the model" and describe each field so the model understands how to use it. OpenRouter or other LLM models tool: You can use any client for this, but make sure to use a model that does well with tool calls (Claude, GPT-4.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro, etc.). Best Practices & Notes AI Prompt Engineering:** The AI is instructed to be conservative—never move emails from real people or saved contacts, and always explain its reasoning if it doesn’t move a message. This automation only works for NEW incoming messages. Inbox Zero:** This system is designed to help you achieve and maintain Inbox Zero by keeping only actionable items in your main inbox. Customization:** You can adjust the folder logic, add more categories, or tweak the AI prompt for your specific needs. Privacy:** All processing happens within your n8n instance; no email data is stored outside your environment except for the AI call (which only receives sanitized, minimal content).

Unlock a new level of sophistication for your AI agents with this template. While the native n8n Think Tool is great for giving an agent an internal monologue, it's limited to one instance. This workflow provides a clever solution using a sub-workflow to create multiple, custom thinking tools, each with its own specific purpose. This template provides the foundation for building agents that can plan, act, and then reflect on their actions before proceeding. Instead of just reacting, your agent can now follow a structured, multi-step reasoning process that you design, leading to more reliable and powerful automations. Who is this for? AI and automation developers:** Anyone looking to build complex, multi-tool agents that require robust logic and planning capabilities. LangChain enthusiasts:** Users familiar with advanced agent concepts like ReAct (Reason-Act) will find this a practical way to implement similar frameworks in n8n. Problem solvers:** If your current agent struggles with complex tasks, giving it distinct steps for planning and reflection can dramatically improve its performance. What problem does this solve? Bypasses the single "Think Tool" limit:** The core of this template is a technique that allows you to add as many distinct thinking steps to your agent as you need. Enables complex reasoning:** You can design a structured thought process for your agent, such as "Plan the entire process," "Execute Step 1," and "Reflect on the result," making it behave more intelligently. Improves agent reliability and debugging:** By forcing the agent to write down its thoughts at different stages, you can easily see its line of reasoning, making it less prone to errors and much easier to debug when things go wrong. Provides a blueprint for sophisticated AI:** This is not just a simple tool; it's a foundational framework for building state-of-the-art AI agents that can handle more nuanced and multi-step tasks. How it works The re-usable "Thinking Space": The magic of this template is a simple sub-workflow that does nothing but receive text. This workflow acts as a reusable "scratchpad." Creating custom thinking tools: In the main workflow, we use the Tool (Workflow) node to call this "scratchpad" sub-workflow multiple times. We give each of these tools a unique name (e.g., Initial thoughts, Additional thoughts). The power of descriptions: The key is the description you give each of these tool nodes. This description tells the agent when and how it should use that specific thinking step. For example, the Initial thoughts tool is described as the place to create a plan at the start of a task. Orchestration via system prompt: The main AI Agent's system prompt acts as the conductor, instructing the agent on the overall process and telling it about its new thinking abilities (e.g., "Always start by using the Initial thoughts tool to make a plan..."). A practical example: This template includes two thinking tools to demonstrate a "Plan and Reflect" cycle, but you can add many more to fit your needs. Setup Add your own "action" tools: This template provides the thinking framework. To make it useful, you need to give the agent something to do. Add your own tools to the AI Agent, such as a web search tool, a database lookup, or an API call. Customize the thinking tools: Edit the description of the existing Initial thoughts and Additional thoughts tools. Make them relevant to the new action tools you've added. For example, "Plan which of the web search or database tools to use." Update the agent's brain: Modify the system prompt in the main AI Agent node. Tell it about the new action tools you've added and how it should use your customized thinking tools to complete its tasks. Connect your AI model: Select the OpenAI Chat Model node and add your credentials. Taking it further Create more granular thinking steps:** Add more thinking tools for different stages of a process, like a "Hypothesize a solution" tool, a "Verify assumptions" tool, or a "Final answer check" tool. Customize the thought process:* You can change *how the agent thinks by editing the prompt inside the fromAI('Thoughts', ...) field within each tool. You could ask for thoughts in a specific format, like bullet points or a JSON object. Change the workflow trigger:** Switch the chat trigger for a Telegram trigger, email, Slack, whatever you need for your use case! Integrate with memory:** For even more power, combine this framework with a long-term memory solution, allowing the agent to reflect on its thoughts from past conversations.

Overview In cold email campaigns, the lead's company name is the 2nd most frequently inserted variable after their first name. They're critical for effective cold email personalization. However, company names are often messy and can contain taglines, legal suffixes (e.g. LLC, Inc.), and other variations that would never be written out by a human in an email. If your email starts with "I came across Techwave Solutions LLC on LinkedIn...", it's a dead giveaway that you're sending a tempalted email and a response is much less likely. This simple workflow uses AI to clean up messy company names in a Google Sheet so that your cold email campaigns can achieve better results. How It Works A form is submitted with a Google Sheet url The workflow grabs the leads and uses an LLM node to clean the company names The updated leads are saved back in a new sheet within the original spreadsheet Setup Steps Add your Google Sheets and OpenAI (or your AI model provider of choice) credentials to n8n Create a Google Sheet with your list of leads. IMPORTANT: the sheet MUST have a column called "Company" (Optional). The AI workflow has a highly optimized system prompt. However, you may achieve better results by updating the list of examples in the prompt with companies (real or fake) in the industry you're targeting. If you have any questions or feedback about this workflow, or would like me to build custom workflows for your business, email me at n8n@paperjam.agency.

Use case Workshop We are using this workflow in our workshops to teach how to use Tools a.k.a functions with artificial intelligence. In this specific case, we will use a generic "AI Agent" node to illustrate that it could use other models from different data providers. Enhanced Weather Forecasting In this small example, it's easy to demonstrate how to obtain weather forecast results from the Open-Meteo site to accurately display the upcoming days. This can be used to plan travel decisions, for example. What this workflow does We will make an HTTP request to find out the geographic coordinates of a city. Then, we will make other HTTP requests to discover the weather for the upcoming days. In this workshop, we demonstrate that the AI will be able to determine which tool to call first—it will first call the geolocation tool and then the weather forecast tool. All of this within a single client conversation call. Setup Insert an OpenAI Key and activate the workflow. by Davi Saranszky Mesquita https://www.linkedin.com/in/mesquitadavi/
