Generate blog drafts: Slack + AI agent
Runs on a schedule across Slack and Google Sheets, hands the decision to an AI agent with its own tools, then runs the custom logic in a Code node. Built for listening, around a "Normalize Post Payload" step, in 18 documented nodes.
Generate blog drafts with Google Sheets and Slack for your team. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Content Generation' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 18 nodes across Slack, Google Sheets. 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 Slack and Google Sheets in step for listening, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 18 nodes in this listening build
- ✓Every listening run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Slack
- ✓The listening AI step is isolated from Slack, so models swap without touching the other 18 nodes
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 18 nodes for listening before wiring Slack
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for listening
- →Listening work that needs a judgement call per item before it reaches Slack
- →Listening work where "Normalize Post Payload" is still a manual step before Slack
- →Listening work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it
Integrations

What's inside (18 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
Agent tools included (3)
An AI Agent is only as capable as the tools wired into it. These are read from the template's own graph — every one is a real node in the file you download.
- Draft Specialist (Sub-workflow) · Another n8n workflow
- Research Specialist (Sub-workflow) · Another n8n workflow
- Review Specialist (Sub-workflow) · Another n8n workflow
This agent runs without conversation memory - each run starts from the incoming request.
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
Advanced levelAdds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.
- •Chaining a writer pass and a separate critic pass for better output
- •Publishing as a draft so a human stays the final gate
- •Moving data between Google Sheets 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 (Slack, Google Sheets). 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.
