What it does

This workflow:

• Monitors your Gmail inbox for incoming spare parts requests
• Automatically generates professional HTML price quotes in the sender’s language
• Sends personalized replies
• Uses AI to detect the email language (supports Turkish, English, German, and more)
• Extracts project or part codes
• Fetches pricing data from Google Sheets
• Calculates totals accurately
• Formats everything into a clean, professional quote that matches your brand

How it works

1. Schedule Trigger runs every minutes to check for new emails
2. Gmail node fetches the latest unread email
3. Keyword detection filters for spare parts-related terms in multiple languages
4. AI Agent processes the request by:
   • Detecting the email’s language
   • Extracting project/part codes
   • Querying three Google Sheets: CRM, Bill of Materials, Pricing
   • Calculating line totals and grand total
   • Generating a professional HTML quote in the sender’s language
5. Gmail reply sends the quote and marks the original email as read

Requirements

• n8n self-hosted or cloud instance
• Gmail account with OAuth2 authentication
• Google Sheets with proper structure (3 sheets for CRM, BoM, and Pricing data)
• Google Gemini API key for AI processing
• Basic understanding of Google Cloud Console for OAuth setup

How to set up

1. Import the workflow into your n8n instance

2. Create three Google Sheets with the following column structure:

   • CRM Sheet: Email, ProjectCode, CustomerName
   • Bill of Materials: ProjectCode, PartCode, PartDescription, Quantity
   • Pricing Sheet: PartCode, UnitPriceEUR, PartDescription

3. Configure credentials:

   • Set up Gmail OAuth2 in Google Cloud Console
   • Configure Google Sheets OAuth2 (can use same project)
   • Get your Google Gemini API key from Google AI Studio

4. Update the workflow:

   • Replace placeholder Sheet IDs in the CRM, BoM, and Pricing nodes
   • Adjust company name in the AI Agent’s system message
   • Modify keyword detection if needed

5. Test with a sample email before activating

How to customize the workflow

• Add more languages: Update the keyword detection node with additional terms
• Modify the quote template: Edit the HTML in the AI Agent’s message to match your branding
• Change data sources: Replace Google Sheets with PostgreSQL or MySQL nodes
• Add approval steps: Insert a manual approval node for quotes above a certain value
• Include attachments: Add PDF or product spec file nodes
• Enhance notifications: Add Slack or Teams notifications after quote is sent
• Implement follow-ups: Create a separate workflow for reminder emails

This template provides a solid foundation for automating your quotation process, while staying flexible to fit your specific business needs.
