As an Emacs user looking to do this, can you expand on the workflows you’ve built?

  Basically you can sort things in GNUS based on some rules. You can also perform any arbitrary lisp based on some rules. So you simply add some regex, check the body of the message, and then perform whatever actions you want by either depositing the messages in a queue, or just directly doing those operations. Sorry if that was vague, there isn't much to really say about it. I'm afraid I have no helpful pointers/tips to give.

    Gnus is a thin veneer over raw elisp -- it's a framework like any other with mail objects and "best practices" ways of manipulating them. You'd need to be a green belt in elisp to "Gnus" a workflow. It's only a few steps away from building it from scratch in perl or python.

      You are mostly correct. Elisp does however provide many functions for dealing with/sorting text not available on other platforms.
