Who is this template for?
This workflow template is designed for logistics or manufacturing operations that receive orders by email.
The example above illustrate the challenge we want to tackle using an AI Agent to parse the information and load them in a Google sheet.
If you want to understand how I built this workflow, check my detailed tutorial:
How does it work?
The workflow is connected to a Gmail Trigger to open all the emails that include Inbound Order in their subject.
The email is parsed by an AI Agent equipped with OpenAI’s GPT to collect all the information.
The results are pulled in a Google Sheet.
These orderlines can then be transferred to warehouse teams to prepare *order receiving.
What do I need to get started?
You’ll need:
- Gmail and Google Drive Accounts with the API credentials to access it via n8n
- An OpenAI API key (GPT-4o) for the chat model.
- A Google Sheet with these columns: PO_NUMBER, EXPECTED_DELIVERY DATE, SKU_ID, QUANTITY
Next Steps
Follow the sticky notes in the workflow to configure each node and start using AI to support your logistic operations.

This workflow was built using N8N version 1.82.1
