Prompt for your agent

Goal: Convert emails I label “Action Required” into tasks.
Setup: agents used in source: n8n; tools/MCPs stated: n8n, Gmail, Google Sheets.
Steps:
1. Gmail trigger on a label.
2. Parse the email into task fields with a Code node.
3. Add a row to a Google Sheets task database.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
