Mirror contacts across systems: Gmail

Runs on a schedule across Gmail, Google Sheets and HubSpot, runs the custom logic in a Code node. Built for contact sync, around a "Fetch Changes (Gmail)" step, in 16 documented nodes.

Mirror contacts across systems with HubSpot and Google Sheets with instant alerts. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Two-System Sync' pattern for sales & CRM. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 16 nodes across Gmail, Google Sheets, HubSpot. 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 Gmail and Google Sheets in step for contact sync, without anyone re-typing a row
  • A failed Gmail or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 16 nodes in this contact-sync build
  • Fans the same result out to HubSpot in the same run, for contact sync
  • Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 16 nodes for contact sync before wiring Gmail
  • 16 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for contact sync

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Gmail and Google Sheets aligned by hand for contact sync
  • Contact sync work where "Fetch Changes (Gmail)" is still a manual step before Gmail
  • Contact sync work that only reaches Gmail 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

Advanced level

Adds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.

  • Moving data between Google Sheets, Gmail and HubSpot in a single run
  • Normalising timestamps before anything downstream compares them
  • 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 (Gmail, Google Sheets, HubSpot). 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.
