I’m building a full automation in n8n to streamline the weekly workflow. Here’s what I want to achieve:
Workflow Goals:
- Trigger: When a new email arrives in Gmail with subject like
Automation Report
and a CSV attachment.
- Google Drive:
- Create (if not exists) a weekly folder with the format:
Week of YYYY-MM-DD
(where the date is that week’s Monday).
- Inside it, create two subfolders:
Raw
and Summarised
.
- Save the attachment from Gmail into the
Raw
subfolder.
- AI Summary:
- Send the raw CSV to OpenAI (or GPT-4) to generate a client-friendly summary (totals, key highlights, etc.).
- Save this summary as a CSV file into the
Summarised
folder in the same weekly directory.
- Airtable:
- Match the property by Listing ID and update a
Summary
field.
- Gmail ( final step):
- Draft an email to the client with the summary attached or inline.
Help me it’s urgent
Hey @Atib_Saiyed hope all is well, welcome to the community.
What exactly is blocking you? It appears you have a pretty good/solid plan in mind which makes sense to me. Something isn’t working? Trigger is pretty straightforward - filter by subject, download attachment. Creating folders shouldn’t be too difficult too (the most difficult part is is date formatting)… Tell us what you are looking for us to help you with?
Just in case it’s the date, here:
Week of {{ $now.startOf('week').toISODate() }}
Thanks for Replying!

Thanks for helping if you need i can explain you in detailed
When you say “pending” what do you mean?
I mean the automation is not fully complete yet. I’m currently stuck and unsure about the next steps to move forward. Still figuring it out.
What can we help you to figure out?
I need to automate the whole process but don’t how to do it.
Oh I see, you need help with learning how to build a workflow. You can get a good start with just going through the following resources:
After finishing these I am sure you will have a pretty solid understanding of the process and building a flow won’t be an issue.
