Build a weekly summary: Gmail & MySQL
Runs on a schedule across Gmail, MySQL and Google Sheets, runs the text through an AI chain, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for drip campaigns, around a "Gather from MySQL" step, in 23 documented nodes.
Build a weekly summary with MySQL and Gmail and log the results. 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 Gmail, MySQL, Google Sheets. 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 Gmail and MySQL in step for drip campaigns, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Gmail or MySQL are skipped, across all 23 nodes of this drip-campaigns build
- ✓A failed Gmail or MySQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 23 nodes in this drip-campaigns build
- ✓Every drip-campaigns run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Gmail
- ✓The drip-campaigns AI step is isolated from Gmail, so models swap without touching the other 23 nodes
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Gmail and MySQL aligned by hand for drip campaigns
- →Drip campaigns work where "Gather from MySQL" is still a manual step before Gmail
- →Drip campaigns work that only reaches Gmail on a schedule, 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.

What you'll learn
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Collecting from multiple sources and blending them into one stream
- •Rolling many rows up into a few reportable numbers
- •Summarizing and formatting a readable digest
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 (Gmail, MySQL, Google Sheets, 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.
