⚙️ How it works

The workflow follows a modular node-based architecture designed for reliability and ease of use:

• Time-Based Scheduling: Utilizes n8n's native scheduleTrigger to manage automated execution intervals.
• Dynamic Content Retrieval: Uses a GET request with httpRequest to fetch fresh quote payloads in real-time.
• Variable Mapping: Uses the set node to transform JSON structures into friendly, reusable workflow variables.
• Mailing Integration: Integrates the gmail node to handle authenticated OAuth2 requests for sending email.
