Build a daily digest: PostgreSQL

Runs on a schedule across PostgreSQL, Microsoft Teams and Slack, summarises long text with an AI chain, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for auto-responders, around a "Read Recent from PostgreSQL" step, in 23 documented nodes.

Build a daily digest with PostgreSQL and Microsoft Teams automatically. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Scheduled Digest' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 23 nodes across PostgreSQL, Microsoft Teams, Slack. It uses n8n's LangChain AI nodes (Agent/Chain + chat model). Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. What used to take a morning now runs on its own.

Key benefits

  • Keeps PostgreSQL and Microsoft Teams in step for auto-responders, without anyone re-typing a row
  • Safe to re-run: records already in PostgreSQL or Microsoft Teams are skipped, across all 23 nodes of this auto-responders build
  • A failed PostgreSQL or Microsoft Teams call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 23 nodes in this auto-responders build
  • Every auto-responders run leaves an audit row behind, alongside PostgreSQL
  • The auto-responders AI step is isolated from PostgreSQL, so models swap without touching the other 23 nodes

Use cases

  • Teams keeping PostgreSQL and Microsoft Teams aligned by hand for auto-responders
  • Auto-responders work where "Read Recent from PostgreSQL" is still a manual step before PostgreSQL
  • Auto-responders work that only reaches PostgreSQL on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

From download to running in 3 steps

  1. 1
    Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
  2. 2
    Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
  3. 3
    Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.

What you'll learn

Production level

Production-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.

  • Summarizing and formatting a readable digest
  • Archiving each run for an audit trail
  • Moving data between PostgreSQL, Microsoft Teams and Google Sheets in a single run

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 (PostgreSQL, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Sheets, …). 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.
