📩🤖 This workflow automatically processes emails received in Gmail, extracts their attachments, and organizes them into specific folders in Google Drive based on the sender's email address. Note: The workflow avoids duplicates by checking folder existence before creation. Benefits: ✅ Automated Organization: No need to manually sort or download email attachments. 📁 Sender-based Categorization: Files are stored in clearly labeled folders per sender, improving traceability and reducing clutter. ⏱ Time-saving: Reduces repetitive administrative tasks by automating the workflow end-to-end. 🔁 Modular and Scalable: Can be easily extended or reused with other services (e.g., Dropbox, S3) or integrated into larger document workflows. 🔐 Secure Cloud Storage: Attachments are safely backed up in Google Drive, minimizing the risk of data loss from email. How It Works Trigger: The workflow can be triggered manually ("When clicking ‘Execute workflow’) or automatically (via Gmail Trigger polling emails every minute). Email Processing: Fetches emails (with attachments) from Gmail within a date range (default: July 6–9, 2025). For each email, checks if it contains attachments (via IF node). Folder Management: Searches Google Drive for a folder named after the sender’s email address (under parent folder "Email Attachments"). Creates the folder if it doesn’t exist. Attachment Handling: Splits out binary attachments, extracts filenames, and uploads each file to the sender’s dedicated folder in Google Drive. Sub-Workflow Execution: Uses Execute Workflow to modularize the upload process (reusable for other workflows). Set Up Steps Google Services: Connect Gmail and Google Drive nodes to your accounts via OAuth2. Ensure the parent folder "Email Attachments" (ID: 1EitwWVd5rKZTlvOreB4R-6xxxxxx) exists in Google Drive. Adjust Date Range: Modify receivedAfter/receivedBefore in the Get emails node to target specific emails. Test: Run manually to verify folder creation and attachment uploads. Activate Automation: Enable the Gmail Trigger for real-time processing (currently active: false). Need help customizing? Contact me for consulting and support or add me on Linkedin.
