Build a weekly summary: MySQL
Runs on a schedule across MySQL, Slack and Gmail, runs the text through an AI chain, then reads the feed and keeps only what is new. Built for thresholds, around a "Read Source Feed" step, in 24 documented nodes.
Build a weekly summary with MySQL and Gmail end to end. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Scheduled Digest' pattern for software development & devops. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 24 nodes across MySQL, Slack, Gmail. 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. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps MySQL and Slack in step for thresholds, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in MySQL or Slack are skipped, across all 24 nodes of this thresholds build
- ✓A failed MySQL or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 24 nodes in this thresholds build
- ✓Every thresholds run leaves an audit row behind, alongside MySQL
- ✓The thresholds AI step is isolated from MySQL, so models swap without touching the other 24 nodes
Use cases
- →Teams keeping MySQL and Slack aligned by hand for thresholds
- →Thresholds work where "Read Source Feed" is still a manual step before MySQL
- →Thresholds work that only reaches MySQL on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it
Integrations
Workflow preview (24 nodes)
The template's actual node layout and connections. Node parameters and credential slots unlock with the download.
What's inside (24 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
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.
- •Collecting from multiple sources and blending them into one stream
- •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 (MySQL, Slack, Gmail, 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.
