📥 Gmail Attachment Backup to Google Drive — n8n Workflow This n8n workflow automatically backs up email attachments from a specific sender in Gmail to a designated folder in Google Drive. It polls Gmail every minute and uploads any new attachments from matching emails to the specified Google Drive folder with a timestamped filename. 📌 Use Case Primary Purpose: Automatically archive and back up attachments from a specific sender (e.g., test@gmail.com) to Google Drive for safekeeping, audit, or processing. Ideal For: Automating invoice/receipt collection from a vendor Archiving reports from a monitored email address Creating a searchable historical log of attachments for compliance 🧭 Workflow Overview Here’s how the workflow operates: 🔔 Gmail Trigger Polls Gmail every minute for new messages from a specific sender (test@gmail.com). 📩 Gmail Get Message Retrieves the full contents (including attachments) of the matched email. 🧠 Code (JS) Iterates over all binary attachments in the email and restructures them as individual binary items to upload separately. 📤 Google Drive Uploads each attachment to a target Google Drive folder (DOcs) with a timestamp and unique name. 📍 Replace Me (NoOp) Placeholder node to indicate workflow completion. You can replace this with Slack notifications, logs, or alerts. 🔧 How to Use Prerequisites An n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud) A connected Gmail account with OAuth2 credentials A connected Google Drive account with OAuth2 credentials Permissions for n8n to access your Gmail and Google Drive Setup Instructions Import the Workflow Copy and paste the workflow JSON into your n8n editor.

🧑‍💼 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 Watches your Gmail inbox for new messages Prepares the content, including sender, subject, and message body Sends it to OpenAI to generate a friendly, casual summary Delivers that summary to your Telegram chat 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.

When you collect leads from a form, you need to format the incoming data such as the lead's name and also apply a basic validation of the email entered. Lucky for us, N8N offers all of these features with simple expressions that can easily be applied to data. This workflow aims to show how you can process your lead data before saving it in Mautic. How it Works This workflow receives data from a Wordpress form; applies name formatting and basic validation to the email; Creates the contact in Mautic; If e-mail is invalid, add the lead in Dot Not Contact list. Setup Steps Set up credentials when you first open the workflow. You'll need a Mautic account. You need to configure a form in Wordpress (Elementor, WPForms, etc.) and send it to the N8N Webhook address; Now map the fields you need to apply formatting and validation. After testing your workflow, swap the Test URL to Production URL in Discourse and activate your workflow

This n8n workflow automates the generation and delivery of a daily order summary via email. It leverages an AI Agent to fetch and summarize e-commerce order data from the last 24 hours stored in Supabase, providing a concise overview of the daily business operations. How it works Scheduled Trigger:** The workflow is triggered every day at 8 AM. Sender Email Configuration:** A manual step allows you to set the sender's email address. AI Agent:** An AI Agent node acts as the central intelligence, interacting with various tools to gather and process data. Supabase Data Fetching:** The AI Agent calls "Get Orders," "Get Order Items," "Get Clients," and "Get Products" tables to retrieve relevant e-commerce data from your Supabase database. OpenAI Chat Model:** An OpenAI Chat Model with the 4.1 model is integrated to help the AI Agent understand and summarize the fetched data into a human-readable format. Gmail Summary:** Finally, the workflow sends a summarized report to your specified email address using the "Send Gmail Summary" node. Set up steps This setup will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Download the workflow: Download this workflow and import it into your n8n instance. Configure the Daily 8am trigger: Ensure the "Daily 8am" trigger is active and set to your desired timezone. Set Sender Email: In the "Set Sender Email" node, manually enter the email address you wish to use as the sender for the daily reports. Configure AI Agent: Chat Model: Connect your OpenAI Chat Model credential. Memory & Tools: Ensure all the necessary nodes ("Get Orders", "Get Order Items", "Get Clients", "Get Products", "Send Gmail Summary") are correctly linked to the AI Agent. In our workflow we call data from 4 tables in Supabase. Configure Supabase Database Connections: For each of the "Get Orders," "Get Order Items," "Get Clients," and "Get Products" nodes, you will need to configure your Supabase credentials to access your e-commerce database. Select the tables (e.g., orders, order_items, clients, products) that you want the AI agent to pull data from in your Supabase schema. Configure Gmail Credentials: In the "Send Gmail Summary" node, connect your Gmail account credentials to allow n8n to send emails on your behalf. Test the workflow: Run the workflow manually to ensure all connections are working correctly and the email summary is generated as expected. Requirements n8n instance:** An active n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud). Supabase Account:** A Supabase account with your e-commerce order data accessible. OpenAI API Key:** An OpenAI API key for the Chat Model. Gmail Account:** A Gmail account credentials to send the daily summaries. Need help? Feel free to contact us at 1 Node.

What we wanna do? Let's look at the concern. In my experience, some developers don't check their Jira board to find out whether there are new updates on the issues or not or if some Issues need to be addressed as soon as possible. So, the developer or anyone else in other fields needs to be informed about the task as soon as possible, too. One way to send this immediate notification is through the Telegram Bot. Setup Guide so, first of all, you need to register a Telegram Bot in your account and obtain its token, so that we'll be able to send Telegram messages by using this token through our bot; after getting your telegram bot token go to the workflow and click on one of the telegram nodes select the telegram credential or create one through the Credential to connect with field and put the token in the token in the Access Token field. Ok, you're done with the Telegram Side setup. then you need the Jira accounts (team users) accountId and also their telegram chatId for the telegram account node so that it can find the corresponding telegram user from the assignee of the issue, put this data as following guide comments in the telegram account node. Now we go for the Jira side setup, you need to setup some automation rules as your needs. go to the Jira settings and Global automation section, click on the Create Rule button select the Issue Created trigger type in the When step add a Send webhook request action, after selecting it you'll see its settings go back to workflow and from the jira-webhook node copy the Production URL paste it in the Web request URL field in the Jira action setting then set the HTTP method field on POST set Web request body on Issue Data (Automation format) in the header section, add a new header with the name type and value created for the creation event. OK, the Jira side also is done! Now It's time to test! If you've put your Jira accountId and telegram chatId in the telegram account node and of course started the telegram bot, after creating an Issue that is assigned to you, the creation notif will send to you in telegram!

Who is this for? This template is for any website owner, digital agency, or compliance officer operating within the European Union. It's designed for users who need to comply with the upcoming European Accessibility Act (EAA) but may not have deep technical or legal expertise. Disclaimer This workflow uses an npm package called "cheerio" to work with the specified URLs HTML code. Installing packages is only possible in self hosting. What problem is this workflow solving? / Use Case Starting June 28, 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) mandates that most websites offering products or services in the EU must be accessible and publish a formal Accessibility Statement. Manually creating this legal document is complex, requiring both a technical site analysis and knowledge of specific legal requirements. This workflow automates the generation of a compliant first draft, saving significant time and effort. What this workflow does After you input your details (like website URL and API key) in a central configuration node, this workflow automatically: Scans your live website for accessibility issues using the powerful WAVE API. Processes the scan results to identify the main problem areas. Instructs a Google Gemini AI agent with a specialized legal prompt based on the European Accessibility Act. Generates a formal Accessibility Statement in your desired language. Saves the statement as an .html file and sends it to you as an email attachment. Setup This workflow is designed for a quick setup: Configure All Variables: Click the 'CHANGE THESE: dependencies' node. This is your central control panel. Fill in all the values, including your WAVE API Key, the URL to analyze, company details, and desired output language. Set Up Credentials: You will need to connect your Google accounts for the workflow to run. Gemini: Click the 'gemini 2.5 pro' node, click the gear icon (⚙️) next to the "Credential" field, and connect your Google Gemini API credentials. Gmail: Click the 'Send report by email' node and connect your Gmail account to allow sending the final report. Activate & Execute: Make sure the workflow is active in the top-right corner, then click 'Execute Workflow' to run your first analysis. How to customize this workflow to your needs This template is a great starting point for any EU country. Here's how to adapt it: Localize for Your Country (Important!):* The generated statement contains a placeholder for the "Enforcement Procedure". You *must* edit the prompt in the *'Accessibility Statement Generator'** node to replace this placeholder with the name and link to your specific country's official enforcement body. Change the AI:** Swap the Google Gemini node for any other AI model, like OpenAI or Anthropic Claude, by replacing the node and connecting it to the agent. Change the Trigger:* Replace the *'When clicking ‘Execute workflow’'** node with a Form Trigger or Webhook Trigger to run this workflow based on external inputs, for example, to offer this analysis as a service to your clients.

Who is this for? NVD (National Vulnerability Database) data is essential for security analysts, vulnerability managers, and DevSecOps professionals who need to perform both CVE lookups and monitor historical change logs. This workflow helps streamline those efforts by providing structured outputs for audit, triage, or compliance tracking purposes. 📝 Note: While this example uses Google Sheets as the destination, you can easily modify the final destination node (e.g., send to Slack, email, database, etc.) based on your specific automation needs.? What problem is this solving? Security teams often manually look up CVE data and track changes across multiple tools. This process is inefficient and error-prone. This workflow automates the CVE lookup and historical change tracking by logging enriched vulnerability data into Google Sheets in real-time. What this workflow does This workflow is designed for CVE API lookup and change history tracking. In many vulnerability automation pipelines, it is essential to determine not only the metadata of a CVE but also how it has evolved over time. Based on the operational need—whether it's enrichment, risk scoring, or remediation validation—this workflow becomes particularly handy in surfacing both current and historical CVE data. This template performs the following actions: Accepts incoming webhook requests containing a CVE ID Queries the NVD CVE Lookup API to fetch vulnerability metadata Queries the NVD CVE History API to retrieve all historical changes Flattens both datasets into a sheet-compatible structure Appends vulnerability metadata to one sheet and change history to another within the same Google Spreadsheet Setup 🔑 Request an NVD API Key To request an NVD API Key, please provide your organization name, a valid email address, and indicate your organization type at NVD API Key Request. You must scroll to the end of the Terms of Use Agreement and check "I agree to the Terms of Use" to obtain an API Key. After submission, you will receive a single-use hyperlink via email to activate and view your API Key. If not activated within seven days, a new request must be submitted. 📊 API Rate Limits Without an API key, you're limited to 5 requests per 30-second window. With an API key, you’re allowed up to 50 requests in the same period. To prevent request throttling, it's recommended to introduce slight delays between consecutive API calls in production setups. Clone or import this workflow into your n8n instance. Set up the following credentials: Google Sheets OAuth2 NVD API Key (via HTTP Header Auth) The workflow logs data to a Google Sheet titled NVD Database, with Sheet 1 named CVE Lookup and Sheet 2 named CVE History. Trigger each workflow using the respective webhook URL, appending ?cveId=CVE-XXXX-XXXX as a query parameter. 🔍 Example Webhook Request (CVE Change History) You can test this workflow with the following example: GET https://your-domain.com/webhook/cve-history?cveId=CVE-2023-34362 How to customize this workflow Use the Edit Fields node (optional) to centralize configuration like sheet name or query input Extend the CVE flattening logic to include more nested metadata if needed Integrate notification systems (e.g., Slack or email) by branching from the processing nodes Modify webhook paths for better endpoint organization 🔐 Production Security Tips Use HTTP Header Auth on the webhook for secure access > ⚠️ This template uses webhooks and NVD API access with authentication headers. This template uses two flows: Webhook 1:** NVD CVE Lookup — Lookup CVE vulnerability metadata from NVD and sync to Google Sheet Webhook 2:** NVD CVE Change History — Track change history for CVEs via NVD and log each update Each flow: Hits NVD’s respective endpoint Uses custom JS Code node to flatten the nested JSON Syncs data to dedicated Google Sheet tabs 🧩 4 nodes: Webhook → API Call → Parse → Sheet Sync Make sure both flows are activated and webhooks exposed for external access. Based on your needs, ensure you have a secure setup—whether hosted internally or in a cloud environment—when running n8n in production.
