Listen for brand mentions: Google Sheets & Outlook

Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets, Outlook and Slack, diffs the two sides and writes only the gaps, then scrapes the values straight out of the HTML. Built for cross-posting, around a "Fetch Target Page" step, in 24 documented nodes.

Listen for brand mentions with HTTP / REST API and Outlook. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Social Listening' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 24 nodes across Google Sheets, HTTP / REST API, Outlook. 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 Google Sheets and Outlook in step for cross-posting, without anyone re-typing a row
  • Compares Google Sheets against Outlook before writing, so only genuine differences land
  • Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or Outlook are skipped, across all 24 nodes of this cross-posting build
  • A failed Google Sheets or Outlook call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 24 nodes in this cross-posting build
  • Fans the same result out to Slack in the same run, for cross-posting

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Google Sheets and Outlook aligned by hand for cross-posting
  • Reconciling Google Sheets against Outlook after the two quietly drifted apart
  • Cross-posting work where "Fetch Target Page" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
  • Cross-posting work that only reaches Google Sheets 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

Production level

Production-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.

  • Polling a feed and deduplicating across executions
  • Cross-posting to several channels in parallel
  • Moving data between Google Sheets, Outlook 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 (Google Sheets, HTTP / REST API, Outlook, 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.
