How I Built a Smart Email Cleanup System Using n8n + Gmail API

Today I created an automation that keeps my inbox clean without me touching anything. The workflow automatically scans Gmail for unread emails older than 7 days, checks if they match certain categories (newsletters, promos, low-priority messages), and then does three things:

Summarizes the email using AI

Labels it with “Low Priority – Auto Managed”

Archives it instantly

The best part?

The summary is sent to a Google Sheet so I can quickly review what I missed without reading the whole email.

A clean inbox, less stress, and more control.

Automation is truly a superpower.
