How EDI Automation Works

How EDI Automation Works

Four Simple Steps From Email to Organized Data

Technical Solution Made Simple

This n8n workflow operates through four interconnected steps:

  1. Gmail Trigger - Automatically monitors your inbox for emails containing "EDI" in the subject line

  2. EDI Parser - A JavaScript code node extracts structured data from complex EDI formatting

  3. Data Formatter - Converts technical EDI data into business-friendly table format

  4. Google Sheets Integration - Automatically logs the processed orders for tracking and analysis

The entire process requires minimal setup with just Google Drive, Sheets and Gmail APIs, running completely in the background to transform your logistics operations.
