DMARC report reader

A real internal workflow that turns zipped DMARC XML reports into readable exception monitoring for email security and deliverability.

Situation

DMARC reports show whether email claiming to come from your domain is passing authentication checks. They are useful, but they usually arrive as zipped XML, so many businesses enable them once and never read them again. That can hurt email deliverability and domain reputation.

Task

Keep DMARC monitoring alive without asking someone to open XML files. Misconfigured senders, spoofing attempts, and alignment problems need to be visible before they affect delivery or domain trust.

Action

n8n watches the reporting mailbox, extracts the zip, parses the XML, and passes the structured data through a controlled language-model step to produce a short plain-English report.

Result

The business gets exception monitoring instead of another ignored inbox. Routine reports are quick to scan; failed authentication, unknown senders, or unusual patterns are called out with what to check next.

What this proves: the value is the operating loop, not the model by itself. A technical report arrives, the useful signal is extracted, and the person responsible gets a readable summary before a mail delivery or reputation issue becomes visible to customers.
