Excellent walkthrough! I like that you focused not only on connecting AI with n8n but also on the agentic approach behind the workflow. Breaking the automation into clear, modular steps makes it much easier to understand and extend for real-world use cases. I'd also be interested in seeing how you handle error recovery, human approval for sensitive emails, and rate limits in a production environment. Thanks for sharing such a practical guide!
