Log form submissions: Google Sheets & PostgreSQL
Starts when someone submits the form across Google Sheets, PostgreSQL and Slack, routes each kind of record down its own branch, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for inbox triage, around a "Route by Work Type" step, in 24 documented nodes.
Log form submissions with PostgreSQL and Gmail. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Form Intake' pattern for marketing & advertising. It starts from a form and orchestrates 24 nodes across Google Sheets, PostgreSQL, Slack. 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 PostgreSQL in step for inbox triage, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or PostgreSQL are skipped, across all 24 nodes of this inbox-triage build
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or PostgreSQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 24 nodes in this inbox-triage build
- ✓Bad input stops the run for inbox triage instead of landing in Google Sheets
- ✓Branches rejoin before Google Sheets, so a inbox-triage run reports once rather than 24 times
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and PostgreSQL aligned by hand for inbox triage
- →Intake checked for completeness before it is stored in Google Sheets, for inbox triage
- →Inbox triage work where "Route by Work Type" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
- →Inbox triage work that only reaches Google Sheets when a form is submitted, when someone remembers to start it
Integrations

What's inside (24 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
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Serving an n8n-hosted form and shaping each submission
- •Validating required fields before anything is written
- •Sending incomplete submissions to review instead of storing them
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, PostgreSQL, Slack, HTTP / REST API, …). 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.
