Gmail Authentication Analysis Automation

This workflow is ideal for:

• Email Administrators: Those responsible for managing email systems and ensuring security.
• IT Security Professionals: Individuals focused on preventing spam and phishing attacks through email header analysis.
• Data Analysts: Professionals who need to extract and analyze email header data for reporting and insights.
• Developers: Those looking to integrate email analysis into applications or services via API.
• Businesses: Organizations wanting to enhance their email security and understand user engagement through email tracking.

This workflow addresses the challenge of verifying the authenticity of incoming emails. It helps in:

• Detecting and mitigating spam and phishing attempts by analyzing email headers.
• Extracting critical information such as the originating IP address, authentication results (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and IP reputation.
• Providing a structured response for further action or reporting, ensuring that businesses can maintain a secure email environment.

1. Webhook Trigger: The workflow is initiated when a new email is received via a webhook.
2. Header Extraction: It extracts the email headers to analyze the email's journey.
3. IP Address Analysis: The workflow isolates the originating IP address from the headers, filtering out private addresses.
4. IP Reputation Check: It queries external APIs to assess the reputation of the IP address, identifying any associations with spam or fraud.
5. Authentication Results Evaluation: The workflow checks for authentication headers (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and categorizes their results as pass, fail, or unknown.
6. Data Formatting: It formats the extracted data into a structured JSON response, ready for reporting or further processing.
7. Response to Webhook: Finally, it sends the structured response back to the requesting system, completing the email analysis pipeline.
