Monitor keywords for listening
Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams, runs the text through an AI chain, then reads the feed and keeps only what is new. Built for listening, around a "Read Source Feed" step, in 9 documented nodes.
Monitor keywords with Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams on autopilot. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Social Listening' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 9 nodes across Google Sheets, Microsoft Teams. 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 Microsoft Teams in step for listening, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or Microsoft Teams are skipped, across all 9 nodes of this listening build
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Microsoft Teams call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 9 nodes in this listening build
- ✓The listening AI step is isolated from Google Sheets, so models swap without touching the other 9 nodes
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 9 nodes for listening before wiring Google Sheets
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams aligned by hand for listening
- →Listening work where "Read Source Feed" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
- →Listening work that only reaches Google Sheets on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What's inside (9 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
Foundation levelA starter-sized build - small enough to hold in your head while you learn the pattern.
- •Polling a feed and deduplicating across executions
- •Pulling an RSS feed on a schedule and shaping each entry
- •Cross-posting to several channels in parallel
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, Microsoft Teams). 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.
