Issue contracts: MySQL
Fires the moment a webhook arrives across MySQL and Gmail, rolls the rows up into a few numbers, then runs the custom logic in a Code node. Built for ocr & extraction, around a "Gather API Numbers" step, in 9 documented nodes.
Issue contracts with HTTP / REST API and MySQL in real time. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Document Generation' pattern for legal & compliance. It fires on a webhook and orchestrates 9 nodes across HTTP / REST API, MySQL, Gmail. 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 MySQL and Gmail in step for ocr & extraction, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed MySQL or Gmail call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 9 nodes in this ocr-&-extraction build
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 9 nodes for ocr & extraction before wiring MySQL
- ✓9 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for ocr & extraction
Use cases
- →Teams keeping MySQL and Gmail aligned by hand for ocr & extraction
- →Pushing ocr-&-extraction events into MySQL and Gmail the moment they land, not on the next poll
- →Ocr & extraction work where "Gather API Numbers" is still a manual step before MySQL
- →Ocr & extraction work that only reaches MySQL when a webhook arrives, when someone remembers to start it
Integrations
Workflow preview (9 nodes)
The template's actual node layout and connections. Node parameters and credential slots unlock with the download.
What's inside (9 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
Foundation levelA starter-sized build - small enough to hold in your head while you learn the pattern.
- •Moving data between MySQL and Gmail in a single run
- •Rolling many rows up into a few reportable numbers
- •Adding retries and an explicit error path to external calls
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 (HTTP / REST API, MySQL, Gmail). 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.
