Build a metrics report: Outlook

Runs on a schedule across Outlook, Google Sheets and Slack, runs the text through an AI chain, then reads the feed and keeps only what is new. Built for drip campaigns, around a "Read Source Feed" step, in 19 documented nodes.

Build a metrics report with Google Sheets and Outlook. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Scheduled Digest' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 19 nodes across Outlook, Google Sheets, 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. Your team sees the right data at the right time.

Key benefits

  • Keeps Outlook and Google Sheets in step for drip campaigns, without anyone re-typing a row
  • Safe to re-run: records already in Outlook or Google Sheets are skipped, across all 19 nodes of this drip-campaigns build
  • A failed Outlook or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 19 nodes in this drip-campaigns build
  • Branches rejoin before Outlook, so a drip-campaigns run reports once rather than 19 times
  • The drip-campaigns AI step is isolated from Outlook, so models swap without touching the other 19 nodes

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Outlook and Google Sheets aligned by hand for drip campaigns
  • Drip campaigns work where "Read Source Feed" is still a manual step before Outlook
  • Drip campaigns work that only reaches Outlook 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

Advanced level

Adds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.

  • Collecting from multiple sources and blending them into one stream
  • Summarizing and formatting a readable digest
  • Moving data between Outlook, Slack 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 (Outlook, Google Sheets, Slack). 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.
