⚙️ How it Works

Every morning at 8:00 AM (just before you start your day), this workflow automatically runs and sends you an email with your daily plan. It does this by extracting your assigned issues from Jira and organizing them into a clear, actionable To-Do list.

🚀 How to Set It Up

Prerequisites: You will need API keys for the three services used in this workflow.

  1. Google Gmail: Create API Key
  2. Jira: Create API Token
  3. OpenRouter: Create API Key

🛠️ Customization Options

Make this workflow your own!

  • Swap the AI Model: Easily replace the current AI model with any free or paid model you prefer within OpenRouter.
  • Refine the Prompt: Edit the AI prompt in the agent node to get results perfectly tailored to how you like your To-Do list structured.
  • Expand the Workflow: Feel free to add new nodes, connect other apps (like Slack or Notion), and tweak the workflow to get your desired output!

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/15509/15509.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
