If you use Zoho Mail for business email but prefer managing everything from Gmail — this workflow bridges the gap automatically.
What it does:
- Fetches new emails from Zoho Mail via IMAP
- Forwards them to your Gmail inbox
- Sends each email through Gemini AI for analysis (summary, category, priority level)
- Compiles a clean daily digest and sends it to a Telegram channel/group
Why this is useful:
Instead of logging into 2 inboxes, you keep working in Gmail while Zoho handles your business domain. The Gemini AI layer means you don’t need to read every forwarded email — Telegram gives you a morning briefing of what actually matters.
Tech stack:
- n8n (self-hosted or cloud)
- Zoho Mail API (IMAP)
- Gmail node
- Google Gemini AI
- Telegram Bot API
- Schedule trigger (runs every X hours)
Setup time: ~20 minutes
Cost to run: Free (within Gemini free tier + self-hosted n8n)
Free template: Forward Zoho Mail emails to Gmail with Gemini AI analysis and Telegram digest | n8n workflow template
