About this workflow
This n8n workflow automates the handling of incoming emails. It detects and filters out spam, searches a knowledge base (FAQ) stored in a Pinecone vector database, and sends a reply using Gmail — all powered by an AI model (GPT-4o mini). How It Works 1. Receiving Emails - The Gmail Trigger node checks a Gmail inbox every hour. - When a new email arrives, it starts the workflow. 2. Fetching Full Email Content - The getmessage node retrieves all the details of the message: sender, subject, text, message ID, etc. 3. Spam Filtering - The Spam checker node uses GPT-4o mini to classify the email as either "spam" or "no spam". - It detects not only classic spam but also automated messages (e.g. from Google or Microsoft). - If marked as "spam", the workflow ends and nothing is processed. 4. Conditional Filter - The If node checks the spam result. - Only "no spam" emails proceed to the AI Agent. 5. AI-Based Reply - The AI Agent node generates a response based on: - The email content - A system prompt defining the assistant’s behavior (polite, professional, under the name “Total AI Solutions”) - Information retrieved from the Pinecone Vector Store, which contains FAQs - The AI is instructed to always check the vector store before replying. - The AI prepares both the subject and the body of the reply. 6. Sending the Reply - The Gmail node sends the reply to the original sender. - It uses the original email's ID to keep the thread intact. 7. Language Model - The OpenAI Chat Model node provides GPT-4o mini as the language engine for generating responses. 8. Memory Support - The Simple Memory node maintains short-term context, helpful in multi-turn conversations. 9. Knowledge Base (FAQ) - The Pinecone Vector Store node connects to a Pinecone index (faqmattabott) containing vectorized FAQ content. - Vectors are created using the Embeddings OpenAI node.
