Gmail AI search assistant on Telegram (Gemini-powered)

Overview

The n8n Telegram Gmail Assistant is an intelligent workflow that lets you search and retrieve specific Gmail emails simply by messaging a Telegram bot. Powered by advanced language models, it turns plain-language requests into precise Gmail searches, delivering results directly to your Telegram chat. This no-code automation is perfect for users who want instant, conversational access to their inbox—no Gmail tab required.

Key Features

Conversational Email Search: Just message the Telegram bot with requests like “Get me all emails from Amazon” or “Show unread emails after 6 June 2025.” The assistant understands sender names, keywords, and date filters—even if you only provide part of the information.

AI-Powered Query Parsing: Uses a language model (LLM) to intelligently extract sender, keywords, and date range from your message, then builds an accurate Gmail search query.

Flexible Filtering: Supports sender, keywords, ‘after’ and ‘before’ dates, or any combination. Handles both specific and broad queries.

Instant Telegram Delivery: Each matching email is formatted with date, sender, subject, and a snippet, and sent as a separate Telegram message for easy reading.

Customizable & Extendable: Swap the AI model (Google Gemini or OpenAI), adjust output formatting, and set email limits or read status as needed.

How It Works

1. User Sends a Telegram Message: For example, “Get unread emails from Amazon about invoices after 1 June 2025.”
2. AI Interprets the Request: The workflow’s LLM agent extracts sender, keywords, and date filters, converting them into a Gmail search query using Gmail’s syntax (e.g., from:amazon AND (invoice OR invoices) AND after:2025/06/01).
3. Gmail Search: The workflow fetches all matching emails from your connected Gmail account.
4. Message Formatting: Each email is summarized into a concise, emoji-rich Telegram message (date, sender, subject, snippet).
5. Telegram Delivery: Results are sent to your Telegram chat, one message per email.
