Onboard leads: MySQL & Gmail
Runs on a schedule across MySQL, Gmail and Slack, routes each kind of record down its own branch, then runs the custom logic in a Code node. Built for drip campaigns, around a "Score the Lead" step, in 18 documented nodes.
Onboard leads with MySQL and Gmail at scale. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Drip Sequence' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 18 nodes across MySQL, Gmail, 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. What used to take a morning now runs on its own.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps MySQL and Gmail in step for drip campaigns, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed MySQL or Gmail call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 18 nodes in this drip-campaigns build
- ✓Bad input stops the run for drip campaigns instead of landing in MySQL
- ✓Branches rejoin before MySQL, so a drip-campaigns run reports once rather than 18 times
- ✓Fans the same result out to Slack in the same run, for drip campaigns
Use cases
- →Teams keeping MySQL and Gmail aligned by hand for drip campaigns
- →Drip campaigns work where "Score the Lead" is still a manual step before MySQL
- →Drip campaigns work that only reaches MySQL on a schedule, 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.

What you'll learn
Advanced levelAdds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.
- •Checking for conversion before every step so the drip stops
- •Segmenting the audience up front
- •Moving data between MySQL, Gmail and Slack 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, Gmail, Slack). 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.
