Gmail Attachment Manager with Google Drive Upload and Smart Filtering

Description

This n8n template allows you to automatically upload all attached files from incoming emails to Google Drive with optional filters on sender, receiver and file types

This template is built to be customized for your specific needs. This template has the core logic and n8n node specific references sorted to work with dynamic file names throughout the workflow.

Use cases

Post recurring reports to another n8n workflow for further processing
Archive files to Google Drive by email

The workflow is designed to not use custom code, preferring built-in nodes in n8n
