Parse Gmail Inbox and Transform into Todoist tasks with Solve Propositions

by Łukasz

Who is it for? If you are getting a lot of emails into your Gmail inbox, then probably some of those can be solved easly by replying or by doing specific short tasks. But analyzing whole email thread content just to catch up with multiple threads can be very wasteful. So by using AI you can actually get simple propositions of what should be done before closing this specific email and actual proposed answer to that email. This is especially useful if you need to do some actions before replying to email. In that case you can simply assign task to specific person, await until it's done, copy-paste AI answer when it's done, and close. Another good use would be if on one inbox there are working multiple people. It can make the process much more streamlined. How It Works? Script runs on your selected trigger. If you are using section "Read and Star", then you may use "Email Trigger". Automation is looking for exiting open Todoist tasks, that have the same title as email If task does not exist, then we are asking AI to analyze thread and give output that is Todoist-API-ready: having summary of email content having proposed actions to be taken having proposed answer to this email If email was unstarred for some reason but task was not closed, then task is being closed automatically. Script FOR PURPOSE is not trying to unstar messagess which have closed tasks, because this could lead to some inconsistencies. How to set up? Select and setup your triggers, depending on your needs Setup connections using N8N instructions. You will need: Gmail Todoist AI (in this workflow OpenAI is used) (Optional) Remove "Read and Star" section if you don't want tasks automatically read and starred. (Optional) Adjust AI node - especially useful if you want to use different model or have response in different language NOTE Chat does not heave memory attached on purpose. The purpose is that it should analyze each inbox message separately, not in thread. When using memory, it can get lost easily. NOTE2 You might want to adjust limits on nodes "Get Unread From Inbox", "Get Starred From Inbox" and "Get Open Tasks", especially if having issues with model complying to output structure. And that's it. I hope that this automation will make your Gmail <-> Todoist process much more streamlined! What's More? There is actually more that you could do with this automation, but it really depends on your needs. For example, you could add Form trigger to handle incoming support requests. Another thing is that you could replace Todoist with Asana or any database (like NocoDB) if you are using it for your task management.

Automate PDF Image Extraction & Analysis with GPT-4o and Google Drive

by merfy

Use Case Manually extracting images from PDF files for analysis is often slow and inefficient. Many users resort to taking screenshots of each page, uploading them to an AI tool like OpenAI for image analysis, and then manually copying the insights into a document. This manual process is time-consuming and prone to errors. This workflow streamlines the entire process by automatically extracting images from a PDF, analyzing them using the GPT-4o model, and saving the results in seconds—eliminating the need for manual effort. What This Workflow Does Extracts all images from the uploaded PDF file automatically The workflow scans each page of the PDF and identifies embedded images without manual intervention. Uses the GPT-4o model to analyze each extracted image Each image is processed through GPT-4o to generate descriptive insights, summaries, or context-specific analysis depending on the use case. Saves the analysis results to a .txt file, including image URLs The final output is a plain text file containing both the image URLs (e.g., hosted on cloud storage) and the corresponding GPT-4o analysis, ready for further use or sharing. Setup 1.Set up your credentials when you first open the workflow. You’ll need accounts for OpenAI, Convert API, and Google Drive. 2.Convert API does not rate-limit your API, sometimes you may receive 503 service unavailable error. Nevertheless, it doesn’t mean that you cannot convert your file. It simply means that you should retry the conversion in a few seconds. 3.Upload a PDF with images to Google Drive. 4.Remove unnecessary parts and retrieve image-related information. 5.Integrate image and image analysis information together. 6.Analyze each image using the OPENAI GPT-4o model. 7.Retrieve all image analysis content and image URL 8.Integrate multiple image URLs and analysis content 9.Output content to a .txt file. Template was created in n8n v1.83.2 How to Customize Replace the manual trigger with a Google Drive trigger or other automation triggers Change the image analysis model (e.g., switch or fine-tune GPT-4o) Send the results to other platforms (e.g., Slack, Telegram, LINE, etc.) instead of saving to a .txt file

Automate Purchase Order Form Submissions from Outlook Excel Attachments with AI

by Jimleuk

This n8n template imports purchase order submissions from Outlook and converts attached purchase order forms in XLSX format into structured output. Data entry jobs with user-submitted XLSX forms are time consuming, incredibly mundane but necessary tasks which in likelihood are inherited and critical to business operation. While we could dream of system overhauls and modernisation, the fact is that change is hard. There is another way however - using n8n and AI! N8N offers an end-to-end solution to parse XLSX form attachments using LLM-powered OCR and send the extracted output to your ERP or otherwise. How it works An Outlook trigger is used to watch for incoming purchase order forms submitted via a shared inbox. The email attachment for the submission is a form in xlsx format - like this one Purchase Order Example - which is imported into the workflow. The 'Extract from File' node is used with the 'code' node to convert the xlsx file to markdown. This is so our LLM can understand it. The Information Extractor node is used to read and extract the relevant purchase order details and line items from the form. A simple validation step is used to check for common errors such as missing PO number or the amounts not matching up. A notification is automated to reply to the buyer if so. Once validation passes, a confirmation is sent to the buyer and the purchase order structured output can be sent along to internal systems. How to use This template only works if you're expecting and receiving forms in XLSX format. These can be invoices, request forms as well as purchase order forms. Update the Outlook nodes with your email or other emails as required. What's next? I've omitted the last steps to send to an ERP or accounting system as this is dependent on your org. Requirements Outlook for Emails Check out how to setup credentials here: https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/microsoft OpenAI for LLM document understanding and extraction. Customising the workflow This template should work for other Excel files. Some will be more complicated than others so experiment with different parsers and extraction tools and strategies. Customise the Information Extractor Schema to pull out the specific data you need. For example, capture any notes or comments given by the buyer.
