Summarize Google Alerts with Gemini

Turn your noisy Google Alerts folder into a concise, AI-curated executive briefing. This workflow replaces dozens of individual notification emails with a single, structured daily digest.

How it works

  • Ingest: Fetches unread Google Alerts emails from your Gmail inbox.
  • Clean: Extracts article links, scrapes the website content, and strips away ads and clutter to ensure high-quality AI processing.
  • Analyze: Uses Google Gemini to summarize each article into a concise 2-4 sentence overview.
  • Deliver: Compiles a professional HTML email report sorted by topic, sends it to you, and automatically marks the original alerts as read.

Set up steps

  • Connect Gmail: Authenticate your Gmail account to allow reading alerts and sending the digest.
  • Connect Gemini: Add your Google Gemini API key.
  • Configure Recipient: Update the Send Email Digest node with your desired destination email address.
  • Schedule: (Optional) Replace the Manual Trigger with a Schedule Trigger (e.g., every morning at 7 AM) to fully automate the process.
