Monitor keywords: Slack for scheduling

Runs on a schedule across Slack, Google Sheets and Outlook, scores the sentiment of every message. Built for scheduling, around a "Keep Valid Posts" step, in 17 documented nodes.

Monitor keywords with Slack and Outlook. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Social Listening' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 17 nodes across Slack, Google Sheets, Outlook. 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. The result is a hands-off process that just works.

Key benefits

  • Keeps Slack and Google Sheets in step for scheduling, without anyone re-typing a row
  • A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 17 nodes in this scheduling build
  • Branches rejoin before Slack, so a scheduling run reports once rather than 17 times
  • Every scheduling run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Slack
  • Fans the same result out to Outlook in the same run, for scheduling

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for scheduling
  • Scheduling work where "Keep Valid Posts" is still a manual step before Slack
  • Scheduling work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What you'll learn

Advanced level

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

  • Filtering to only what is worth surfacing
  • 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.
