Polls a bridge Gmail inbox for emails with a phone number in the subject.\n2. Sends the cleaned body as iMessage to that phone via Blooio.\n3. Forwards inbound iMessages back to the user's inbox, with Reply-To set so replies loop back.\n4. Logs the iMessage to the matching Close lead's timeline.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- [ ] Connect a bridge Gmail credential to \"When Email Received\" and \"Send Email to Inbox\".\n- [ ] Connect a Blooio credential to \"Send iMessage via Blooio\" and register the webhook URL for message.received.\n- [ ] Connect a Close API credential to \"Find Lead in Close by Phone\" and \"Log iMessage to Close\".\n- [ ] Fill the inbox + bridge placeholders, send a test, then toggle Active.\n\n### Customization\n\n- Swap Close for any CRM by replacing the two HTTP Request nodes.\n- Add HMAC verification on the inbound webhook for production hardening\n\n\n## Learn more at [SMB Excel](https://www.smbexcel.com)" }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "7afc7d76-0222-420f-acaa-4db173258691", "name": "Sticky Note1", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 4912, 2432 ], "parameters": { "color": 7, "width": 1360, "height": 448, "content": "## Send outbound iMessage\n\nPolls the bridge Gmail inbox, validates the subject contains a phone number, cleans the message body, and sends it as iMessage via Blooio." }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "6538885b-5783-481c-b8c0-96b6676f1339", "name": "Sticky Note2", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 4912, 2912 ], "parameters": { "color": 7, "width": 640, "height": 848, "content": "## Receive inbound iMessage\n\nReceives the Blooio webhook, filters to inbound message events, and builds an email payload from the iMessage." }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "beb6e4b2-36b6-418e-b68e-8b2f1fde792b", "name": "Sticky Note3", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 5584, 2912 ], "parameters": { "color": 7, "width": 688, "height": 400, "content": "## Forward to email inbox\n\nSends the iMessage to the user's main inbox with Reply-To set back to the bridge \u2014 closing the bidirectional loop." }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "f302de68-d931-4607-9338-1b0701625295", "name": "Sticky Note4", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 5584, 3328 ], "parameters": { "color": 7, "width": 688, "height": 432, "content": "## Log to Close CRM\n\nLooks up the lead by phone in Close and logs the iMessage as an email activity on the lead's timeline." }, "typeVersion": 1 } ], "active": false, "settings": { "binaryMode": "separate", "availableInMCP": true, "executionOrder": "v1" }, "versionId": "7848e526-ffb0-4e33-a32f-b1982946eb82", "connections": { "If Lead Found": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Log iMessage to Close", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "If Phone in Subject": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Prepare iMessage Data", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "When Email Received": { "main": [ [ { "node": "If Phone in Subject", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Prepare iMessage Data": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Send iMessage via Blooio", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "When iMessage Received": { "main": [ [ { "node": "If Inbound Message Event", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "If Inbound Message Event": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Build Email From iMessage", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Build Email From iMessage": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Send Email to Inbox", "type": "main", "index": 0 }, { "node": "Find Lead in Close by Phone", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Find Lead in Close by Phone": { "main": [ [ { "node": "If Lead Found", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] } } }
