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.
