Nurture subscribers: PostgreSQL
Runs on a schedule across PostgreSQL and Gmail, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for inbox triage, around a "Normalize Email Payload" step, in 16 documented nodes.
Nurture subscribers with PostgreSQL and Gmail. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Drip Sequence' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 16 nodes across PostgreSQL, Gmail. 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 PostgreSQL and Gmail in step for inbox triage, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed PostgreSQL or Gmail call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 16 nodes in this inbox-triage build
- ✓The pause before PostgreSQL is durable — a inbox-triage run survives a restart
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 16 nodes for inbox triage before wiring PostgreSQL
- ✓16 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for inbox triage
Use cases
- →Teams keeping PostgreSQL and Gmail aligned by hand for inbox triage
- →Inbox triage sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before PostgreSQL
- →Inbox triage work where "Normalize Email Payload" is still a manual step before PostgreSQL
- →Inbox triage work that only reaches PostgreSQL on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it
Integrations
Workflow preview (16 nodes)
The template's actual node layout and connections. Node parameters and credential slots unlock with the download.
What's inside (16 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
Advanced levelAdds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.
- •Sequencing multi-day sends with durable Wait nodes
- •Checking for conversion before every step so the drip stops
- •Moving data between Gmail and PostgreSQL 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 (PostgreSQL, Gmail). 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.
