Capture form submissions with Gmail
Starts when someone submits the form across Gmail and MySQL, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for routing, around a "Prepare Approval Packet" step, in 8 documented nodes.
Capture form submissions with MySQL and Gmail hands-free. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Form Intake' pattern for sales & CRM. It starts from a form and orchestrates 8 nodes across Gmail, MySQL. 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 Gmail and MySQL in step for routing, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Gmail or MySQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 8 nodes in this routing build
- ✓Branches rejoin before Gmail, so a routing run reports once rather than 8 times
- ✓The pause before Gmail is durable — a routing run survives a restart
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 8 nodes for routing before wiring Gmail
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Gmail and MySQL aligned by hand for routing
- →Routing sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Gmail
- →Intake checked for completeness before it is stored in Gmail, for routing
- →Routing work where "Prepare Approval Packet" is still a manual step before Gmail

What's inside (8 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
Foundation levelA starter-sized build - small enough to hold in your head while you learn the pattern.
- •Serving an n8n-hosted form and shaping each submission
- •Validating required fields before anything is written
- •Sending incomplete submissions to review instead of storing them
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). 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.
