Generate short videos: Slack, scheduled
Runs on a schedule across Slack and Google Sheets, walks the list in batches, pausing between them, then rolls the rows up into a few numbers. Built for shorts, around a "Read Content Calendar (Google Sheets)" step, in 18 documented nodes.
Generate short videos with Slack and Google Sheets and log the results. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Video Production' pattern for content creation & media. 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. What used to take a morning now runs on its own.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Slack and Google Sheets in step for shorts, 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 shorts build
- ✓The pause before Slack is durable — a shorts run survives a restart
- ✓Batches the work so Slack rate limits never break a shorts run
- ✓Every shorts run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Slack
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for shorts
- →Shorts sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Slack
- →A backlog too large to push into Slack in one pass, across 18 nodes
- →Shorts work where "Read Content Calendar (Google Sheets)" is still a manual step before Slack
Integrations
Workflow preview (18 nodes)
The template's actual node layout and connections. Node parameters and credential slots unlock with the download.
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.
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.
- •Moving data between Google Sheets and Slack in a single run
- •Rolling many rows up into a few reportable numbers
- •Walking a long list in batches instead of firing everything at once
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.
