What This Workflow Does
This n8n workflow automates the process of identifying and responding to sponsored deal emails. It monitors your inbox in real-time, analyzes incoming emails using artificial intelligence, determines whether each message is a sponsored opportunity, and automatically sends appropriate responses based on your company policies.
How It Works
The workflow operates through a series of integrated steps designed to streamline email management:
- A Gmail trigger monitors your inbox every minute for new incoming emails
- Email data is extracted including the header, subject line, and message body
- An AI agent analyzes the email content to determine if it is a sponsored deal
- The AI returns a boolean value indicating whether the email is sponsored or not
- A conditional node routes the email based on the AI analysis result
- For sponsored emails, an automated response is prepared using your company policies
- The response email is automatically sent back through Gmail
Use Cases
- Marketing agencies managing multiple sponsored partnership inquiries daily
- Content creators automating responses to brand collaboration requests
- E-commerce businesses filtering and responding to wholesale opportunities
- SaaS companies handling partnership and integration proposals systematically
- Influencers managing sponsored content requests at scale
