Daily Email Pulse Summary: This agent summarizes a user's daily emails into a clean, actionable summary. It uses OpenAI to analyze content and sends a formatted "Daily Pulse" email at the end of each day. Main use cases: Keep track of open loops and next steps across all email conversations Identify high-potential leads and flag conversations going nowhere Eliminate the need to manually review your inbox at day’s end Build a smart summary layer using AI without hallucination or noise How it works This workflow can be divided into eight core nodes, each serving a distinct purpose in helping a user stay on top of their day. The result is a curated, AI-generated summary delivered to your inbox — crafted from real message content, not guesswork. Schedule Trigger (Trigger Node – Runs Daily at Set Time) Kicks off the workflow at a specific time each day (e.g. 6:00 PM). Ensures you receive your Daily Pulse consistently, without needing to run it manually. Date Transformer (Function Node – Define Today & Tomorrow Range) Uses JavaScript to calculate the current day’s date range: today: Start of day (00:00:00) tomorrow: Start of next day (used as a cutoff) This ensures only emails from today are analyzed, keeping the summary focused and current. Get All Messages (Gmail Node – Fetch Filtered Emails) Pulls in all Gmail messages with internalDate between today and tomorrow. Outputs structured data: from, subject, and body text of each email. This forms the raw data for the daily business pulse. Aggregator (Function or Item Lists Node – Combine Message Fields) Aggregates each message into a readable format: From: John@example.com Subject: Demo Follow-up Body: Let’s schedule a time this week... All messages are stitched together into a single combinedText string for analysis. This gives the AI model full context for the day in one unified document. Email Cleanup (Function Node – Remove Noise & Normalize Text) Cleans the combinedText blob to remove: HTML tags Marketing footers (e.g., unsubscribe links) Redundant whitespace or formatting artifacts Ensures GPT gets clean, relevant message content with no distractions. Agent (OpenAI Node – Generate Structured Summary) Uses a System Prompt to define its role as an AI Chief of Staff. Uses a User Prompt that instructs it to categorize messages into sections: 📝 Open Loops / Pending Follow-Up 🚀 Next Steps You’ve Committed To 🧲 Leads Worth Following Up On 🛑 Conversations That Aren’t Leading Anywhere 🧠 Strategy Notes ✅ Top 3 Tasks for Tomorrow Built-in guardrails ensure the model only uses real content (no hallucination). Sections with no relevant data are omitted to keep it concise. HTML Formatter (Function Node – Wrap Markdown in Email-Ready HTML) Wraps the GPT-generated markdown summary in a simple <html><body> structure. Applies white-space: pre-wrap to preserve formatting and spacing. The result is a clean, readable email that renders well across all inboxes (especially Gmail). Email Send (Email Node – Deliver the Final Pulse) Sends the formatted summary to your email inbox. Subject: Your Daily Business Pulse – {{today}} HTML body: Uses the formatted output from the previous step. Final output: a well-organized, scannable summary of the day’s communication — focused on what matters. Why It Works Automates the end-of-day review ritual without effort Prioritizes follow-ups, action items, and time-sensitive leads Filters out noise and low-value conversations Leverages GPT without risk of hallucination or irrelevant output Delivers clarity, helping you focus on tomorrow’s most important tasks
