Onboard leads: Gmail

Runs on a schedule across Gmail, Google Sheets and Notion, 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 "Keep Valid Emails" step, in 31 documented nodes.

Onboard leads with Google Drive 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 31 nodes across Gmail, Google Sheets, Notion. 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 Gmail and Google Sheets in step for inbox triage, without anyone re-typing a row
  • Safe to re-run: records already in Gmail or Google Sheets are skipped, across all 31 nodes of this inbox-triage build
  • A failed Gmail or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 31 nodes in this inbox-triage build
  • The pause before Gmail is durable — a inbox-triage run survives a restart
  • Every inbox-triage run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Gmail

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Gmail and Google Sheets aligned by hand for inbox triage
  • Inbox triage sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Gmail
  • Inbox triage work where "Keep Valid Emails" is still a manual step before Gmail
  • Inbox triage work that only reaches Gmail 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

Architect level

The deepest tier - sub-workflow delegation, state snapshots, and full observability.

  • Sequencing multi-day sends with durable Wait nodes
  • Checking for conversion before every step so the drip stops
  • Segmenting the audience up front

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 (Gmail, Google Sheets, Notion, 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.
