Monitor Gmail labels, run AI-powered summarization, assemble a single digest, and email it to your inbox daily.
The agent fetches emails from a chosen Gmail label received in the last 24 hours. It uses OpenAI via LangChain prompts to generate concise summaries that preserve links and context. It compiles all summaries into one readable digest and sends it to your inbox at the scheduled time.
Converts labeled emails into a single, readable daily digest.
Fetches emails from the specified Gmail label received in the last 24 hours.
Summarizes each email with AI while preserving links and formatting.
Consolidates all summaries into a single digest with a consistent layout.
Sends the digest to the configured recipient at the scheduled time.
Allows customization of label selection and summarization style.
Keeps action items clearly visible for quick decision-making.
Before this agent: you manually skim dozens of emails to extract key points. After: you receive a single, structured digest with actionable items and preserved links. The flow reduces manual triage, ensures consistent summaries, and delivers results at a predictable time.
A simple 3-step flow from emails to a ready digest.
Pulls emails from the designated Gmail label received in the last 24 hours using OAuth2 credentials.
Processes each email content through OpenAI via LangChain prompts to extract concise summaries while preserving links and formatting.
Combines all summaries into a single digest and emails it to the configured inbox at the scheduled time.
A realistic scenario showing task, time, and outcome.
Scenario: At 9:00 AM, the agent fetches emails labeled 'Tech News' received in the last 24 hours, summarizes each into brief bullets, and assembles a single digest that lands in the recipient's inbox by 9:15 AM.

The agent reads emails from one or more Gmail labels and focuses on messages received within the last 24 hours. You can configure multiple labels to feed into a single digest or keep them separate if you prefer category-based digests. The setup requires Gmail OAuth2 credentials and correct label IDs. The digest reflects the combined summaries from all selected labels, preserving the structure and links you expect. If a label has no new messages, the digest will reflect that reality accordingly.
The included community nodes are compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. Cloud-hosted n8n may not support these community nodes. If you are using the self-hosted version, ensure the nodes are installed and updated. You will also need proper credentials for Gmail OAuth2 and the OpenAI API. If you switch environments, you may need to adapt the wiring to maintain the same digest behavior.
Yes. Modify the summarization prompts to adjust tone, length, and focus areas. You can steer the summaries to be more action-oriented or more narrative, while keeping essential links and references intact. Testing with labeled emails helps ensure formatting remains consistent in the final digest. Changes apply to how each email is condensed before being assembled into the digest.
Yes. The time range is controlled by the query that fetches emails (e.g., last 24 hours). You can extend to last 2 days or last week by updating the parameter. The schedule trigger can remain the same, but the source data window will widen. After adjusting, run a test to verify that the digest content matches expectations.
If no new emails exist for the selected labels, the agent can skip sending a digest or send a digest with a note that there are no new items. This prevents unnecessary emails while preserving the running schedule. You can configure whether to notify only when new content is available. The setup ensures no blank digests reach your inbox.
The summarization step is designed to retain hyperlinks and primary references from the original emails. The prompt can explicitly request preserving links in the digest. Formatting is kept consistent to ensure links remain clickable in the final email. If a link is removed during processing, a note can be added to indicate the missing reference.
Security relies on standard OAuth2 for Gmail access and API keys for OpenAI. Store credentials securely and follow best practices for key management. The flow should operate within your consent and organizational policies. Regularly rotate keys and review access scopes to minimize risk.
