Notify the team on new events: Google Sheets, Slack & Discord
Fires the moment a webhook arrives across Google Sheets, Slack and Discord, routes each kind of record down its own branch, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for approvals, around a "Route by Work Type" step, in 20 documented nodes.
Notify the team on new events with Discord in real time. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Event Notification' pattern for software development & devops. It fires on a webhook and orchestrates 20 nodes across Google Sheets, Slack, Discord. Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. Your team sees the right data at the right time.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Google Sheets and Slack in step for approvals, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or Slack are skipped, across all 20 nodes of this approvals build
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 20 nodes in this approvals build
- ✓Bad input stops the run for approvals instead of landing in Google Sheets
- ✓Branches rejoin before Google Sheets, so a approvals run reports once rather than 20 times
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Slack aligned by hand for approvals
- →Pushing approvals events into Google Sheets and Slack the moment they land, not on the next poll
- →Approvals work where "Route by Work Type" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
- →Approvals work that only reaches Google Sheets when a webhook arrives, when someone remembers to start it

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.

What you'll learn
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Reacting to an event and notifying the right channel
- •Keeping alert volume low enough to stay meaningful
- •Moving data between Google Sheets, Slack and Discord 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.
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, Slack, Discord). 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.
