Monitor brand mentions: Google Sheets

Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets and Slack, diffs the two sides and writes only the gaps, then scrapes the values straight out of the HTML. Built for engagement, around a "Fetch Target Page" step, in 10 documented nodes.

Monitor brand mentions with HTTP / REST API and Slack automatically. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Social Listening' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 10 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. Nothing slips through the cracks.

Key benefits

  • Keeps Google Sheets and Slack in step for engagement, without anyone re-typing a row
  • Compares Google Sheets against Slack before writing, so only genuine differences land
  • A failed Google Sheets or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 10 nodes in this engagement build
  • Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 10 nodes for engagement before wiring Google Sheets
  • 10 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for engagement

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Google Sheets and Slack aligned by hand for engagement
  • Reconciling Google Sheets against Slack after the two quietly drifted apart
  • Engagement work where "Fetch Target Page" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
  • Engagement 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

Foundation level

A starter-sized build - small enough to hold in your head while you learn the pattern.

  • Cross-posting to several channels in parallel
  • Moving data between Google Sheets and Slack in a single run
  • 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 download. 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). 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.
