How to Read Attachments from N8N Gmail Plugin Message Reader

I’m currently working on a workflow in n8n where I’m using the Gmail plugin’s Message Reader node to fetch emails. However, I’m having trouble figuring out how to read attachments from the fetched emails.

Does anyone have experience with this? Could you please guide me on how to access and process attachments using the Gmail plugin in n8n?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I found the solution; it exists in the current Gmail trigger. All we have to do is uncheck the ‘simplify’ option and under ‘options,’ we need to select ‘download attachment.’ Additionally, you could add a filter to select the sender (only used for testing).
