Step-by-Step Guide: Integrating n8n with the Gemini API for Autonomous Workflows
Intelligent automation is no longer a luxury; it has become a competitive advantage. Combining the reasoning capabilities of Gemini with the orchestration versatility of n8n allows you to build workflows capable of making real-time decisions. In this guide, we will configure a simple yet powerful agent: an automated email classifier that analyzes the sentiment and priority of incoming messages. Prerequisites An active n8n account (either cloud-hosted or self-hosted). A Google Gemini API Key (obtained via Google AI Studio ). Workflow Architecture The workflow follows this sequential logic: Trigger: Reception of a new email (via Gmail/Outlook). Processing: Sending the email content to the Gemini API. Action: Tagging or automated response based on the model's classification. Step 1: Configure the Gemini Credential In n8n, go to Credentials > Add Credential . Search for Google Gemini API . Paste your API Key. This enables n8n to communicate...
