Import into n8n

  1. Download the n8n JSON file (full or sanitized).
  2. In n8n: Workflows → Import from file.
  3. Open each node and reconnect credentials to your accounts.
  4. Test with manual execution before enabling triggers.

Sanitized JSON removes credential IDs — safer for sharing. Flow graph JSON is OpenRuna's lightweight format for diagrams and other tools, not n8n import.

Overview

Gmail AI auto-responder: create draft replies to incoming emails (12-node n8n automation, gmail, outputParserStructured, lmChatOpenAi, chainLlm) is free on OpenRuna — view the graph and export the JSON to import into n8n.

What this workflow does

"Gmail AI auto-responder: create draft replies to incoming emails" automates a gmail-to-outputParserStructured flow in n8n across 12 nodes. 12 nodes · gmail, outputParserStructured, lmChatOpenAi, chainLlm Execution begins at the scheduled/triggered trigger and flows through the 12 configured nodes. OpenRuna renders the node graph and offers the JSON export so you can import and adapt it in minutes. Use it to learn integration patterns, fork it for your own use case, or deploy it quickly after reconnecting credentials.

Use cases

  • Benchmark it against your current gmail integration to spot missing steps or redundant nodes.
  • Fork it to add error handling, retries, or a notification step without designing the 12-node flow from scratch.
  • Share it with your team as a documented reference for scheduled/triggered automations in the gmail stack.
  • Study how data moves from gmail to outputParserStructured before building your own variant.

Example output

Imported into n8n, "Gmail AI auto-responder: create draft replies to incoming emails" exposes 12 configured nodes. Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. Integrations: gmail, outputParserStructured, lmChatOpenAi, chainLlm. Reconnect the gmail credential first, then walk the remaining nodes top to bottom. Run it once in test mode to verify any branch logic (Switch/IF nodes) before enabling production triggers.

Tips by platform

Claude

Paste the exported JSON for "Gmail AI auto-responder: create draft replies to incoming emails" into Claude and ask it to explain each of the 12 nodes. Claude is good at suggesting credential mappings for gmail, outputParserStructured, lmChatOpenAi, chainLlm, plus error-handling and idempotency improvements before you run it in production.

ChatGPT
