Reacting to a reply to a Gmail that I have sent

Questions

I want to use a trigger to check for a reply to an email that I have sent out from Gmail. The email has a label that I can use for the filter.

The problem is when I test a fetch it actually gets the email I sent out. It’s not an email I received.

The ultimate goal is that I set a lead as lost and then if they do magically reply after my last email it takes the label off.

And then I have a different automation after a few days if the label is still there cleans up that persons account

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @bally

Which version are you on?

I tested it with version 1.43.1 and in the test run it does fetch the email I sent as well, but couldn’t re-produce that behavior in production (active state). Meaning, it shouldn’t trigger on emails you sent with that label.

To be on the safe side though, you could set an additional filter for emails that are sent from you.

I think the Google Syntax in your case would be from:(-me) to filter out emails that are not from you.

Seen in this template workflow:

Let me know if this works! :raised_hands:
