Automate Email Triage with Ollama LLM Morning Digest

Transform your email chaos into organized intelligence with this powerful n8n workflow that automatically triages incoming messages using local Ollama LLM technology, delivering smart morning digests and instant urgent alerts.

What this workflow does

This intelligent email automation leverages the Ollama gemma4:e4b model to classify every incoming email into four priority categories: URGENT, REPLY_TODAY, FYI, or JUNK. The workflow processes your messages locally, ensuring complete privacy while delivering structured JSON outputs for seamless integration. When urgent emails arrive, you'll receive immediate alerts formatted for quick action. All classified messages are then compiled into a comprehensive morning digest, grouped by priority with suggested actions and totals for efficient email management.

Use cases

• Executive email management: Automatically surface critical communications requiring immediate attention while organizing routine messages
• Customer support automation: Instantly identify high-priority customer issues and route them appropriately while cataloging general inquiries
• SaaS operations: Monitor system alerts, user feedback, and business communications with intelligent categorization
• Sales team efficiency: Flag hot leads and urgent client requests while organizing prospect communications by priority

Technical details

The workflow integrates seamlessly with your local Ollama server running gemma4:e4b model, though it's easily customizable for other Ollama models. Replace the sample email generator with real sources like Gmail or Microsoft Outlook, and connect urgent alerts and morning digests to Slack, email, or other notification channels.
