Alert the team on new events for inventory
Fires the moment a webhook arrives across Google Sheets and Slack, routes each kind of record down its own branch, then writes the result out as a file. Built for inventory, around a "Fetch Current Metrics" step, in 23 documented nodes.
Alert the team on new events with Slack with instant alerts. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Event Notification' pattern for e-commerce & retail. It fires on a webhook and orchestrates 23 nodes across Google Sheets, Slack, HTTP / REST API. Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Google Sheets and Slack in step for inventory, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 23 nodes in this inventory build
- ✓Branches rejoin before Google Sheets, so a inventory run reports once rather than 23 times
- ✓Every inventory run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Google Sheets
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 23 nodes for inventory before wiring Google Sheets
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Slack aligned by hand for inventory
- →Pushing inventory events into Google Sheets and Slack the moment they land, not on the next poll
- →Inventory work where "Fetch Current Metrics" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
- →Inventory work that only reaches Google Sheets when a webhook arrives, when someone remembers to start it

From download to running in 3 steps
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
- 3Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.
What you'll learn
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Reacting to an event and notifying the right channel
- •Moving data between Google Sheets and Slack in a single run
- •Splitting one run into branches and merging the results back
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
What exactly do I get?
The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.
How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (Google Sheets, Slack, HTTP / REST API). No coding is required.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.
Can I modify or resell it?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
