🎫 Store Gmail email details in MySQL database

⚡ 552 views · 🎫 Ticket Management & Triage

Description

This workflow processes emails received in Gmail and saves detailed information about each email to a MySQL database.

Before using, you need to have:

• Gmail credentials
• MySQL database credentials
• A table in your database with the following columns:
  • messageId (Gmail message ID)
  • threadId
  • snippet
  • sender_name (nullable)
  • sender_email
  • recipient_name (nullable)
  • recipient_email
  • subject (nullable)

How it works:

• The Gmail Trigger listens for new emails (checked every minute).
• A Code Node extracts the following fields from each email:
  • Sender’s name and email
  • Recipient’s name and email
• The MySQL Node inserts the extracted data into your database.
• If an entry with the same sender email already exists, it updates the record with the new details.

How to use:

• Make sure your database table has all required columns listed above.
• Select the appropriate table and configure the matching column (e.g., id) to avoid duplicates.

Customizing this Workflow:

• You can further modify the workflow to store attachments, timestamps, labels, or any other Gmail metadata as needed.
