Follow up open deals: Slack & MySQL
Runs on a schedule across Slack, MySQL and Twilio, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for deal updates, around a "Slot Free?" step, in 13 documented nodes.
Follow up open deals with MySQL and Twilio on autopilot. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Reminders & Follow-ups' pattern for sales & CRM. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 13 nodes across Slack, MySQL, Twilio. 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 Slack and MySQL in step for deal updates, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Slack or MySQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 13 nodes in this deal-updates build
- ✓Bad input stops the run for deal updates instead of landing in Slack
- ✓The pause before Slack is durable — a deal-updates run survives a restart
- ✓Fans the same result out to Twilio in the same run, for deal updates
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and MySQL aligned by hand for deal updates
- →Deal updates sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Slack
- →Deal updates work where "Slot Free?" is still a manual step before Slack
- →Deal updates work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What you'll learn
Core levelA compact production shape: validation and error handling without extra machinery.
- •Scheduling time-based follow-ups that survive restarts
- •Exiting the sequence when the task is already done
- •Moving data between MySQL, Slack and Twilio 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 (Slack, MySQL, Twilio). 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.
