The Newsletter Cleaner workflow helps you automatically organize recent emails in your Gmail inbox by categorizing and archiving newsletters, promotions, and other update types. It runs daily to keep your inbox tidy and labels emails for easy identification.
It accomplishes this in four steps:
- Triggers every day at 9 AM (UTC) to start processing emails.
- Finds emails from the last 24 hours labeled as promotions or updates.
- Uses an AI agent to categorize each email into one of five categories: Newsletter, Promotion, Product Update, Finance, or Social.
- Applies the appropriate Gmail label to each email based on its category and archives the email to declutter your inbox.
What You Need
- A Gmail account connected to Needle via the Pipedream connector.
- Authorization to access your Gmail data for reading, labeling, and archiving emails.
- Access to the Needle AI service for categorizing the emails.
How The Flow Works
| Step | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scheduled Trigger | Runs the workflow automatically every day at 9 AM UTC. |
| 2 | Find Recent Emails | Queries Gmail for up to 50 emails received in the last 24 hours within the promotions or updates categories. |
| 3 | AI Categorization | Sends each email to an AI model to assign a specific category based on its content (Newsletter, Promotion, Product Update, Finance, or Social). |
| 4 | Add Label To Email | Adds the matching Gmail label to each email to keep them neatly organized. |
| 5 | Archive Email | Archives the email to remove it from the main inbox view while keeping it accessible in your account. |
Output
At the end of the workflow, your Gmail inbox will be much more organized. Recent newsletters and promotions are properly categorized by label and archived for easy access without cluttering your main inbox.
Notes
- Make sure your Gmail labels for Newsletter, Promotion, Product Update, Finance, and Social exist beforehand, or the workflow will create them as needed.
- You can adjust the Gmail query if you want to include or exclude additional categories or change the time frame for email retrieval.
