  1. Import this workflow into n8n.
  2. Download & import the Research Subworkflow and select it in the “Research” node.
  3. Add email credentials (SMTP, Gmail, etc.) in the Email node.
  4. (Optional) Adjust Gemini prompt or thresholds for your priorities.

🔑 Requirements

  • Gemini API key (via Google AI Studio or Vertex AI).
  • Email provider credentials.
