n8n does not currently offer a way to retrieve emails from arbritrary providers via a regular node. Unless you're using Gmail or Outlook, you can only use the email trigger to start a workflow when a new email arrives. This currently limits the possible use cases you can cover in your n8n workflows, as you cannot (for example) get an idea of how many unread messages there are in an inbox, or search for specific messages when an event occurs. But fear not, there's a new sheriff in town! The JMAP standard allows you to interact with your mailboxes, calendars and contacts through single HTTP requests whenever needed. This n8n workflow demonstrates how to retrieve the total number of unread messages from a JMAP server and also retrieve details for the first 3 messages. It can easily be adapted to search for messages other than unread, or to return details for more than the first 3 messages. Screenshots FAQ Which n8n version do I need? The workflow was built using n8n 1.20 and should work here out of the box. HTTP requests are also supported on older n8n versions, so the workflow can be backported as an alternative. Which credentials do I need?

Upload CSV test cases to Qase and send completion alerts to Slack
Quick overview This workflow upload test cases from a CSV file into Qase App and sends a confirmation message to your Slack channel. How it works Receives a form submission containing a public CSV URL and a selected Qase project option. Downloads the CSV file from the provided URL and extracts its rows into individual test-case items. Maps each row into the JSON payload Qase expects (including project code, fields like severity/priority/type, and optional parsed steps). Creates the test cases in Qase by sending a POST request per item to the Qase Cases API for the mapped project. Aggregates the upload responses into a single result. Sends a Slack incoming-webhook message confirming the test case upload is complete. Setup Create a Qase API token and add it to the Qase HTTP Header Auth credentials used for the Qase API request. Create a Slack Incoming Webhook, paste the webhook URL into the Slack notification HTTP request node, and customize the message text if needed. Ensure the uploaded CSV is publicly accessible via URL and uses the expected columns (for example: title, description, preconditions, postconditions, severity, priority, type, layer, behavior, automation, and optional
Create real estate listing video ads with OpenAI and Videotok
Quick Overview This workflow takes a real estate listing, uses OpenAI to generate ad copy and a video generation prompt, then sends it to the Videotok API to create a 9:16 vertical listing video ad with a caption and compliance notes. How it works Starts manually to test the workflow with a sample property listing. Builds a listing record containing the address, listing details, and image URLs (replace this with your real listing source). Sends the listing data to OpenAI to generate structured JSON for a video ad, including a script, generation prompt, caption, and compliance notes. Parses the OpenAI output and maps it into a Videotok generation payload with brand kit, reference images, quality, duration, and an idempotency key. Calls the Videotok Generations API to create the vertical video ad using the generated prompt and listing images. Setup Add environment variables for OPENAI_API_KEY, VIDEOTOK_API_KEY, and VIDEOTOK_BRAND_KIT_ID. Replace the sample listing step with your own source (CRM, Airtable, Google Sheets, MLS export, or scraper) and ensure it outputs address, listing_details, and listing_image_urls. Confirm the Videotok template slug (viral-video-ads) and adjust the vi
