Reply feature in threads Gmail node

Help me Build my Workflow
1

I have an n8n workflow that sends follow-up emails using Gmail when someone doesn’t reply to my messages.

The problem: When I use the “Reply” function in n8n, it automatically includes me as a recipient. So when the follow-up email gets sent, I receive a copy of it too.

What I want:

  • Send a follow-up email in the same Gmail thread if the person didn’t reply

  • Only send it to the original recipient (not to myself)

  • Keep everything in the same email thread

The question: How can I remove myself from receiving the follow-up email while keeping it in the same thread?

The problem using the “send” option is that it doesn’t send in the thread, always creates a new message.
If i use the “reply to sender only”, it will only send to me (because i was the sender of the last message of the thread)

help please

Hello, Welcome to n8n Community.

I’ve been go through your problem you follow this to resolve issue:

To avoid sending to yourself:

  1. Use “Send Emaii” not “Reply”.

  2. Pass the threadId of the original message in the parameters.

  3. Set the to field manually to the original recipient exclude your own email.

Hello, and thank you for your reply.

The problem is that i can’t add the threadid.
I don’t have a field for that (don’t know if it’s a problem of my self hosted n8n - Version 1.107.3)

Where should it be input?

Use operation reply instead of operation send, then you can give messageId field as input
