AI-Powered Email Processing & Business Data Extraction (n8n)
Built an automated workflow system using n8n to handle intelligent email processing, retailer data enrichment, and decision-based automation for business operations.
The system runs on a scheduled trigger (every 30 minutes) and processes customer data in a fully automated pipeline. When a user logs in, their data is stored with a pending status. The workflow then retrieves these records, analyzes recent business emails, and extracts key information such as sender domain and transactional details.
Using domain-based logic, the system cross-checks retailer data from a centralized database (Google Sheets). If retailer information is incomplete, the workflow automatically performs web scraping and enrichment to fetch return policies, business details, and relevant metadata before continuing execution.
Once validated, the system parses emails, extracts structured data, triggers external APIs, and marks processed emails accordingly. It ensures idempotent processing by updating statuses and avoiding duplicate handling.
Additionally, the workflow supports continuous monitoring by scanning unread business emails for completed users and processing them in real time.
Key Highlights
Fully automated email parsing & classification system
Dynamic data enrichment from web sources
Domain-based retailer validation logic
Seamless integration with APIs, databases, and Google Sheets

I automated away someone's entire Monday morning.
They used to spend the first 2 hours of every week copying
lead data from forms into their CRM. Manually. Every single
Monday. For two years.
It took me 3 days to build the workflow that ended that.
Now leads hit the CRM in under 3 minutes — tagged, scored,
and assigned to the right rep automatically. Whether they
come in at 2pm or 2am.
The wildest part? They almost didn't reach out because they
thought "it probably can't be automated."
Almost everything can be automated. Most people just don't
know to ask.
What's the most painful manual task in your business right now?
