Workflow Templates

This workflow is designed for freelancers, solopreneurs, and business owners who receive a high volume of irrelevant messages in their Gmail inbox — from cold offers to spammy promotions — and want to automatically filter and delete them using AI. Its main purpose is to scan new emails with the help of OpenAI, classify their content, and automatically delete those considered marketing (OFFER) or junk (SPAM). The result is a cleaner inbox without the need to manually sift through low-value messages. The classification logic uses a detailed system prompt with practical examples, so even complex or borderline messages are categorized accurately. Important emails — such as payment confirmations, shipping updates, or genuine business inquiries — remain untouched. This helps maintain a professional inbox with only valuable and relevant communication. The entire process runs automatically in the background and can be customized further — for example, to archive instead of delete, or log deleted emails for review. How it works When triggered (every hour), the workflow fetches new Gmail messages using the Gmail Trigger node. Each message is passed to an AI classifier powered by OpenAI, which reads the message body (email snippet) and returns one of three labels: SPAM: Obvious junk messages, scams, or low-effort bulk messages OFFER: Cold outreach, discount promotions, cart reminders, or generic advertising IMPORTANT: Valuable information for the user, even if commercial (e.g., invoices, order updates, personal inquiries) The workflow then routes the result through an IF node. If the message is marked as SPAM or OFFER, it is immediately deleted from Gmail via the Gmail Delete node. Emails marked as IMPORTANT are ignored and remain in the inbox. The classification is entirely AI-driven based on message content — sender address, headers, or metadata are not used. How to set up To get started, simply connect two credentials: A Gmail account using OAuth2 (via the Gmail Trigger and Gmail Delete nodes) An OpenAI API key (used by the AI classifier node) No advanced setup is needed beyond these two connections. Optionally, you can review or modify the system prompt used for classification — it’s available inside the workflow’s LangChain AI Agent node. The prompt is in English, so it’s recommended to use this workflow with English-language emails for best results. By default, the workflow deletes matching emails immediately. If you prefer safer testing, you can modify the Gmail node to archive, label, or log emails instead of deleting them. The full workflow takes around 5–10 minutes to configure and includes a sticky note with additional instructions and warnings.

This workflow compares two lists of objects (List A and List B) using a user-specified key (e.g. email, id, domain) and returns: Items common to both lists (based on the key) Items only in List A Items only in List B How it works: Accepts a JSON input containing: listA: the first list of items listB: the second list of items key: the field name to use for comparison Performs a field-based comparison using the specified key Returns a structured output: common: items with matching keys (only one version retained) onlyInA: items found only in List A onlyInB: items found only in List B Example Input: { "key": "email", "listA": [ { "email": "alice@example.com", "name": "Alice" }, { "email": "bob@example.com", "name": "Bob" } ], "listB": [ { "email": "bob@example.com", "name": "Bobby" }, { "email": "carol@example.com", "name": "Carol" } ] } Output: common: [ { "email": "bob@example.com", "name": "Bob" } ] onlyInA: [ { "email": "alice@example.com", "name": "Alice" } ] onlyInB: [ { "email": "carol@example.com", "name": "Carol" } ] Use Cases: Deduplicate data between two sources Find overlapping records Identify new or missing entries across systems This workflow is useful for internal data auditing, list reconciliation, transaction reconciliation, or pre-processing sync jobs.

🌐 Web Server Monitor & Alert System This automation pings web servers at regular intervals, logs their status, and sends email alerts if a server goes down. It’s perfect for maintaining visibility over server uptime — without complex monitoring tools. 🧠 How It Works This workflow performs minute-by-minute checks on all listed servers in a Google Sheet and: ✅ Logs all reachable servers in an “Alive” log. 🔻 Sends an email alert if a server is unreachable. 📄 Logs failed servers in a “Down” sheet with timestamps. 🧩 Key Components ⏰ 1. Schedule Trigger Runs the workflow every minute for real-time monitoring. 📄 2. Web Servers List (Google Sheets) Pulls server IPs or hostnames from a Google Sheet named Server_List. Each row = one server to monitor. This makes adding/removing servers effortless — just update the sheet. 🌐 3. Servers Alive Check (HTTP Request) Performs an HTTP GET request to each server (e.g., http://your-server.com). If the request fails, it automatically triggers the error path (handled via continueOnFail). ✅ 4. Web Server Alive Log (Google Sheets) Records successful pings in Server_Status_Alive with: Timestamp Server IP Status = Alive This log can be used for uptime reports or audits. 📧 5. Server Down Notification (Gmail) If a server fails, this node sends an email to the admin. It includes: Server address Timestamp Suggested action 📄 6. Web Server Down Log (Google Sheets) Logs failed pings in a separate sheet for historical tracking and debugging. ✅ Main Advantages Live Server Monitoring Stay informed about server health in near real-time. No-Code Configuration Add/remove servers from the Google Sheet — no need to touch the workflow. Email Alerts on Failure Proactively notifies you before users report the issue. Audit-Ready Logging Maintains logs for both healthy and failed checks for documentation or reporting. Flexible & Scalable Monitor 1 or 100 servers with the same template — just scale the list. ⚙️ Setup Steps 🔑 Prerequisites Google Sheet with server list (column name = “Server”) Gmail OAuth2 Connection for alerts n8n Instance running regularly 🛠 Configuration Google Sheets Sheet 1 (Server_List): Your list of servers. Sheet 2 (Server_Status_Alive): Log for reachable servers. Sheet 3 (Server_Status_Down): Log for unreachable servers. Gmail Integration Connect your Gmail account in the Server Down Notification node. Edit recipient email and message content as needed. HTTP Check Adjust the HTTP request URL template if using port numbers or paths (e.g., http://{{Server}}:8080/status). Schedule Default is every 1 minute. Change via Schedule Trigger if needed. 🧪 Testing Input a reachable server (e.g., example.com) and an unreachable IP. Run the workflow manually or wait for the next scheduled run. Check: Alive log updates correctly. Down log records failures. Email alert is received. 🚀 Deployment Activate the workflow, and it will quietly run in the background, notifying you of any server downtime instantly while keeping logs for future review.
