Gmail Node
A node integration based on Google's free email service, Gmail. In automation workflow platforms such as n8n, it is commonly used as an email-sending node, enabling workflows to compose, send, and manage emails programmatically through the Gmail API as part of automated processes.

n8n's Gmail node requires OAuth authorization to be completed in n8n first, and the account used needs the corresponding email read and write permissions.
In the can draft branch, after the LLM node (connected to Claude) generates a reply, the Gmail node uses the "create draft" operation to write the customer's email address and the AI reply into the drafts folder, which must be confirmed by a human before sending.
In the needs human branch, the Gmail node uses the "send message" operation to send the subject and body to the person in charge themselves, achieving human handoff.
Draft mode inserts a human confirmation checkpoint between AI output and actual sending, which can prevent inappropriate or erroneous content from reaching customers directly.
Emails generated by the workflow are not sent directly but are saved as Gmail drafts, preserving a manual review step.
