Build a weekly summary: Slack

Runs on a schedule across Slack, Google Sheets and Google Drive, runs the text through an AI chain, then rolls the rows up into a few numbers. Built for drip campaigns, around a "Gather from Google Drive" step, in 19 documented nodes.

Build a weekly summary with Google Drive and Slack without manual work. 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 Slack, Google Sheets, Google Drive. 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. The result is a hands-off process that just works.

Key benefits

  • Keeps Slack and Google Sheets in step for drip campaigns, without anyone re-typing a row
  • A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 19 nodes in this drip-campaigns build
  • Every drip-campaigns run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Slack
  • The drip-campaigns AI step is isolated from Slack, so models swap without touching the other 19 nodes
  • Fans the same result out to Google Drive in the same run, for drip campaigns

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for drip campaigns
  • Drip campaigns work where "Gather from Google Drive" is still a manual step before Slack
  • Drip campaigns work that only reaches Slack 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.

  • Rolling many rows up into a few reportable numbers
  • Summarizing and formatting a readable digest
  • Archiving each run for an audit trail

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 (Slack, Google Sheets, Google Drive). 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.
