Overview
This workflow automates the analysis of incoming Gmail messages to detect potential email spoofing and evaluate sender IP reputation. By leveraging Gmail triggers and multiple processing nodes, it systematically extracts and examines critical email headers.
Key Features
- Automated Gmail Monitoring: Uses a Gmail trigger to process new emails in real time.
- Header Extraction: Extracts 'Received', 'Authentication-Results', and 'Received-SPF' headers for in-depth analysis.
- IP Reputation Checks: Integrates with external IP reputation APIs (such as IP Quality Score) to assess sender trustworthiness.
- Spoofing Detection: Evaluates SPF and authentication results to flag suspicious or spoofed emails.
- Conditional Logic: Employs multiple 'if' nodes to branch logic based on header content and API responses.
Benefits
- Enhanced Security: Proactively identifies phishing and spoofed emails, reducing risk of compromise.
- Time Savings: Eliminates manual header inspection, enabling faster incident response.
- Actionable Insights: Provides clear indicators of email authenticity and sender reputation.
Use Cases
- IT Security Teams: Automate threat detection in corporate email environments.
- Compliance Monitoring: Ensure only legitimate emails reach users.
- Incident Response: Quickly triage suspicious emails for further investigation.
Integrations & Automation
- Gmail: For email retrieval and header extraction.
- IP Reputation APIs: For real-time sender IP analysis.
- n8n Logic & Code Nodes: For flexible, customizable processing and decision-making.
