Workflow overview
Why this workflow matters
Helpful for business development and pipeline building. Relevant for managed services and support workflows.
Who’s it for Teams that start their day in Slack and want a concise, automated summary of yesterday’s emails—ops leads, PMs, founders, and anyone handling busy inboxes without writing code. What it does / How it works Runs every morning at 08:00 (cron 0 0 8 * * ), fetches all emails received *yesterday, and routes the result: if none were found, it posts a polite “no emails” notice; if emails exist, it aggregates them and asks an AI agent to produce a structured digest, then formats and posts to your chosen Slack channel. The flow uses **Gmail → If → Aggregate (Item Lists) → AI Agent (OpenRouter model with structured output) → Code (Slack formatter) → Slack. A set of sticky notes on the canvas explains each step and required inputs. How to set up Connect Gmail (OAuth2) and keep the default date window (yesterday → today at 00:00). Connect Slack (OAuth2) and select your target channel. Add OpenRouter credentials and pick a compact model (e.g., gpt-4o-mini). Keep the provided structured-output schema and formatter code. Adjust the schedule/timezone if needed (the fallback message includes an Asia/Tokyo example). Paste this description into the yellow sticky note at the top of the canvas. Requirements Gmail & Slack accounts with appropriate scopes OpenRouter API key stored in Credentials (no hard-coded keys) AlekSystem Cloud or self-host with LangChain agent nodes enabled How to customize the workflow Narrow Gmail results with label/search filters (e.g., from:, subject:). Change the digest sections or tone in the AI Agent system prompt. Swap the model for cost/quality needs and tweak temperature/max tokens. Localize dates/timezones in the formatter code and Slack messages. Branch the output to email, Google Docs, or Sheets for archival. Security & publishing tips Rename all nodes clearly, do not hardcode API keys, remove real channel IDs/emails before sharing, and group end-user variables in a Set (Fields) node. Keep the sticky notes—they’re mandatory for reviewers.
