The Gmail Trigger integration creates a secure bridge between your Gmail account and n8n's automation platform. After OAuth authentication, the integration monitors your inbox for specific conditions you define.

Key technical capabilities include:

• Real-time monitoring of new emails as they arrive
• Pattern matching for sender addresses, subjects, and content
• Attachment detection and processing capabilities
• Label-based filtering to organize and prioritize emails
• Secure OAuth connection that maintains Google security standards

When trigger conditions are met, the integration instantly activates your n8n workflow, passing email content, metadata, and attachments as structured data that can be processed by subsequent automation steps.
