Hey! You could start with a simple task:

  1. Reading emails! It could be a TRIGGER Node using gmail after a new email or reading it all.
    After that you could start iterating on the data gathered.
  2. Use IF node (Only true / false) or Switch (multiple conditions) to filter emails based on your needs.
  3. If its not a 1-shot workflow, you would need some tags or filter on email to know wich step you’re in and what to do.

Let me know if I help you and if you want, send more details so we can help you on point.

You mean I filter my emails and then, I proceed to the next steps based on my needs. Anyway, I will try this way.

However, to make it clearer, in the process, I need to read an email list (google sheets) and send emails to recipients, and then when the recipients confirm links in emails. each confirmation triggers a few steps in my process. How can I make a connection between sending emails to recipients, waiting for confirmations and proceeding to a few steps in my process for each confirmation?

Ohh, now I get what you’re saying! You want to pull a list of emails from Google Sheets, send out email links, and then wait for responses to process them, right?

  1. Keep using Google Sheets as your database and set up the column structure there. Ask yourself: Do I already have an email column? After sending the confirmation, how will I know if I’m still waiting for a response? And once I get a reply, how will I know it’s ready for processing?

  2. The solution would probably be adding a STATUS column to track the workflow. Based on that status, you can take specific actions. For example, you could use a Switch node after reading the sheet to filter emails based on their status.

  3. You could also set up workflows with different triggers. One could run on a time-based trigger (e.g., every 10 minutes) to send emails, while another could be triggered by changes in the sheet (like “On row update”). That way, whenever the status changes, it automatically processes the row. To get responses from users, your forms or links should trigger a workflow that updates the corresponding row in your sheet.
