Deliver a metrics report: Outlook
Runs on a schedule across Outlook, PostgreSQL and Slack, summarises long text with an AI chain. Built for inbox triage, around a "Read Recent from Outlook" step, in 17 documented nodes.
Deliver a metrics report with PostgreSQL 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 17 nodes across Outlook, PostgreSQL, 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. What used to take a morning now runs on its own.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Outlook and PostgreSQL in step for inbox triage, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Outlook or PostgreSQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 17 nodes in this inbox-triage build
- ✓Every inbox-triage run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Outlook
- ✓The inbox-triage AI step is isolated from Outlook, so models swap without touching the other 17 nodes
- ✓Fans the same result out to Slack in the same run, for inbox triage
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Outlook and PostgreSQL aligned by hand for inbox triage
- →Inbox triage work where "Read Recent from Outlook" is still a manual step before Outlook
- →Inbox triage work that only reaches Outlook on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What you'll learn
Advanced levelAdds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.
- •Summarizing and formatting a readable digest
- •Archiving each run for an audit trail
- •Moving data between Outlook, PostgreSQL and Slack 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, PostgreSQL, 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?
