DESCRIPTION
What does this flow do?
Use this flow to automatically extract and summarize data from PDF attachments received via email.
Here's how it works:
-
Gmail Reader node reads unread emails in a Gmail folder (by default, the regular inbox)
-
If a file is found, the File Reader node scans the file and returns the contents as a text string
-
Summarizer node summarizes the contents of the file
Who is this for?
- Small business owners handling large volumes of paperwork via email
How to customize this flow
-
Add a time trigger: schedule this flow to run daily, automatically fetching PDFs from your inbox and processing them.
-
Adjust Gmail node preferences:
-
Provide a specific label to read from
-
Include a specific Search Query (click "Show More Options" to see)
-
HOW DO YOU SET THIS UP?
1.
Authenticate with Gmail
If you haven't already, authenticate with Gmail so the flow can find the relevant emails.
2.
Set PDF Extraction Parameters
Adjust the PDF processing node to define the type of content to extract (text, tables, images) based on your needs.
3.
Review Summarization Criteria
In the summarization service node, configure the summarization length and style to suit your information consumption preferences.
