Gmail Agent Node

Automate tasks and interactions using Gmail as an agent

Overview

The Gmail Agent Node is a powerful agent designed to automate tasks and interactions using Gmail. This node allows you to perform the following actions:

• sending/drafting emails
• managing email labels
• find emails from inbox
• reading emails and their attachments

Configuration Parameters

To set up the Gmail Agent Node, you need to authenticate with your Google account. Once authenticated, you can configure the node to perform specific actions based on your workflow requirements.

Node Configuration

• Prompt:

  Specify what the agent should do. For example,

  Send an email to Mark (look through my inbox as needed), saying I will get back to him after reviewing the documents I received.

  Find the last few emails from Jacob and summarize our conversations.

  Given this email {email id}, classify the email and assign it to the appropriate gmail label that is configured.

  Given this email {email id}, identify if it is legal related. If so, draft an reply and cc [e-mail].

• Tools

  The tools given to the Gmail Agent. This allows us to limit what the agent can do to prevent undesirable actions by the agent.

  Tool name	Description
  Send Email	Send email or reply
  Draft Email	Create email draft
  Send Draft	Send created draft
  Get Message	Read email metadata (recipients, date, etc), labels, content, and its attachment file names
  Get Attachment	Read attachment file content
  List Labels	Get configured gmail labels
  Modify Labels	Add and remove labels to and from emails

  Do not select the Send Email tool if you do not want the agent to accidentally send emails. Same goes for Delete Email

Advanced Settings

• System Prompt: Configure the persona, rules, and guidelines the agent should follow.

• Model: Choose the language model for the agent. This will affect the processing and understanding of the query.

• Max Steps: Set the maximum number of steps the agent can take when executing a query. This helps in controlling the depth of interaction with the API.

Expected Inputs and Outputs

• Inputs:

  • The node can accept text input data to include in the prompts. Usually, it is the email id from the gmail receive node.

• Outputs:

  • The node outputs the result of the action performed, such as confirmation of an email sent, details of emails processed, or status updates of inbox management actions.

Use Case Examples

1. Automated Email Campaigns:

   Use the Gmail Agent Node to automate the sending of promotional emails to a list of recipients. You can configure the node to send personalized emails based on input data from your workflow.

2. Inbox Management:

   Set up workflows to organize your Gmail inbox by labeling or archiving emails based on specific criteria. This can help maintain a clutter-free inbox and improve productivity.

3. Customer Interaction Automation:

   Automate responses to customer inquiries by configuring the node to send predefined replies based on the content of incoming emails. This ensures prompt and consistent communication with customers.

Error Handling and Troubleshooting

• Authentication Issues:

  If the node fails to authenticate with Gmail, ensure that the correct credentials are provided and that the necessary permissions are granted.

• Unsupported Model:

  Ensure that the selected model supports function calling. If not, choose a compatible model from the available options.
