"content": "## How it works\n\nThis workflow automates the entire journey from inbox noise to a clean, shareable audio summary. It starts with a weekly trigger that scans Gmail for emails matching specific subjects. Each message is fetched, marked as read, and its body is extracted and normalized to avoid formatting chaos.\n\nThe cleaned content is then passed to an OpenAI Chat Model, which generates a concise written summary. A short JavaScript step acts as glue logic: it aggregates content, enforces structure, and prepares the final prompt. A second OpenAI step produces the polished \u201cFinal Summary,\u201d designed to be readable and narration-friendly.\n\nThat summary is saved directly into Notion as a text block, creating a permanent written log. From there, the flow branches into audio mode: the text is converted to speech, an audio file is generated, and the file is uploaded to Google Drive. Permissions are applied automatically, a public URL is created, and that link is appended back into the same Notion page. Result: text + audio, always paired, always traceable.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- Configure the Gmail node with subject filters and enable \u201cmark as read.\u201d\n\n- Connect OpenAI credentials for both summarization and text-to-speech.\n\n- Adjust the JavaScript node only if you want different aggregation rules.\n\n- Set the Notion database/page where summaries should be appended.\n\n- Configure Google Drive upload, sharing, and link creation.\n\n- Run once manually to validate permissions, then let the weekly trigger do its thing.\n\nCompact, deterministic, and low-maintenance\u2014this flow quietly turns emails into knowledge you can read or listen to."
