Onboard leads: MySQL, scheduled
Runs on a schedule across MySQL, Google Sheets and Slack, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for drip campaigns, around a "Normalize Email Payload" step, in 22 documented nodes.
Onboard leads with MySQL 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 22 nodes across MySQL, Google Sheets, Slack. 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. Your team sees the right data at the right time.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps MySQL and Google Sheets in step for drip campaigns, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed MySQL or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 22 nodes in this drip-campaigns build
- ✓The pause before MySQL is durable — a drip-campaigns run survives a restart
- ✓Every drip-campaigns run leaves an audit row behind, alongside MySQL
- ✓Fans the same result out to Slack in the same run, for drip campaigns
Use cases
- →Teams keeping MySQL and Google Sheets aligned by hand for drip campaigns
- →Drip campaigns sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before MySQL
- →Drip campaigns work where "Normalize Email Payload" is still a manual step before MySQL
- →Drip campaigns work that only reaches MySQL on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What you'll learn
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Sequencing multi-day sends with durable Wait nodes
- •Checking for conversion before every step so the drip stops
- •Moving data between Gmail, Google Sheets and MySQL 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 (MySQL, Google Sheets, Slack, 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.
