Listen for keywords: Google Sheets, Slack & Outlook
Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets, Slack and Outlook, scores the sentiment of every message, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for cross-posting, around a "Normalize Post Payload" step, in 22 documented nodes.
Listen for keywords with HTTP / REST API and Outlook for your team. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Social Listening' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 22 nodes across Google Sheets, Slack, HTTP / REST API. 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 Google Sheets and Slack in step for cross-posting, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or Slack are skipped, across all 22 nodes of this cross-posting build
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 22 nodes in this cross-posting build
- ✓Every cross-posting run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Google Sheets
- ✓Fans the same result out to Outlook in the same run, for cross-posting
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Slack aligned by hand for cross-posting
- →Cross-posting work where "Normalize Post Payload" 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
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.

What you'll learn
Production levelProduction-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 Slack, Google Sheets and Outlook 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, Slack, HTTP / REST API, Outlook). 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.
