Follow up with PostgreSQL & Gmail

Runs on a schedule across PostgreSQL, Gmail and Slack, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for outreach, around a "Normalize Lead Payload" step, in 17 documented nodes.

Follow up with subscribers with PostgreSQL and Gmail hands-free. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Drip Sequence' pattern for sales & CRM. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 17 nodes across PostgreSQL, Gmail, 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. Nothing slips through the cracks.

Key benefits

  • Keeps PostgreSQL and Gmail in step for outreach, without anyone re-typing a row
  • A failed PostgreSQL or Gmail call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 17 nodes in this outreach build
  • The pause before PostgreSQL is durable — a outreach run survives a restart
  • Fans the same result out to Slack in the same run, for outreach
  • Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 17 nodes for outreach before wiring PostgreSQL

Use cases

  • Teams keeping PostgreSQL and Gmail aligned by hand for outreach
  • Outreach sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before PostgreSQL
  • Outreach work where "Normalize Lead Payload" is still a manual step before PostgreSQL
  • Outreach work that only reaches PostgreSQL on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

From download to running in 3 steps

  1. 1
    Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
  2. 2
    Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
  3. 3
    Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.

What you'll learn

Advanced level

Adds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.

  • Sequencing multi-day sends with durable Wait nodes
  • Checking for conversion before every step so the drip stops
  • Segmenting the audience up front

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 (PostgreSQL, Gmail, 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.
