Automated Company Intelligence Briefs: OpenAI + Gmail Email

Automated Company Intelligence Briefs—Generated by OpenAI and Delivered via Gmail

This n8n workflow automatically creates a company intelligence brief using OpenAI, formats it into an HTML email, and sends it to your chosen recipient through Gmail on a schedule.

What this workflow does

• Runs on a defined schedule using a Schedule Trigger.
• Generates a structured intelligence report by sending a company briefing prompt (example topic: SpaceX) to OpenAI Chat.
• Formats the output into a polished HTML email, including a subject line and a timestamp, with HTML-safe content derived from the generated text.
• Sends the generated report via Gmail automatically to the configured recipient address.

Use cases

• Executive or investor updates: get recurring briefings on a specific company (e.g., SpaceX) without manual research formatting.
• Sales and partnerships: receive periodic company intelligence emails to support outreach and account planning.
• SaaS operations: standardize internal “brief of the week” reporting by customizing the briefing prompt topic and schedule.
• Automation engineers: use it as a template for scheduled OpenAI-to-email reporting pipelines in n8n.

Technical details

• n8n nodes / integrations: Schedule Trigger, n8nn8n-nodes-langchainagent, n8nn8n-nodes-langchainlm (OpenAI Chat), Code, and Gmail.
• Authentication: configure an OpenAI API credential and a Gmail OAuth2 credential with permission to send email.
• Configuration: set the recipient email address, select the chat model, and update the briefing prompt topic/company as needed.
