Deliver a weekly summary: Outlook
Runs on a schedule across Outlook, PostgreSQL and Slack, runs the text through an AI chain, then reads the feed and keeps only what is new. Built for newsletters, around a "Read Source Feed" step, in 19 documented nodes.
Deliver a weekly summary with PostgreSQL and Outlook for your team. 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 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. The result is a hands-off process that just works.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Outlook and PostgreSQL in step for newsletters, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Outlook or PostgreSQL are skipped, across all 19 nodes of this newsletters build
- ✓A failed Outlook or PostgreSQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 19 nodes in this newsletters build
- ✓Every newsletters run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Outlook
- ✓The newsletters AI step is isolated from Outlook, so models swap without touching the other 19 nodes
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Outlook and PostgreSQL aligned by hand for newsletters
- →Newsletters work where "Read Source Feed" is still a manual step before Outlook
- →Newsletters work that only reaches Outlook 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.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.

What you'll learn
Advanced levelAdds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.
- •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 (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?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
