Power an AI agent task: Slack + field extraction
Fires the moment a webhook arrives across Slack, Google Sheets and Gmail, pulls structured fields out of free text, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for research assistant, around a "Collect Raw Text" step, in 17 documented nodes.
Power an AI agent task with Gmail end to end. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'AI Agent' pattern for AI & automation. It fires on a webhook and orchestrates 17 nodes across Slack, Google Sheets, 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. Your team sees the right data at the right time.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Slack and Google Sheets in step for research assistant, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 17 nodes in this research-assistant build
- ✓Branches rejoin before Slack, so a research-assistant run reports once rather than 17 times
- ✓Every research-assistant run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Slack
- ✓Fans the same result out to Gmail in the same run, for research assistant
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for research assistant
- →Pushing research-assistant events into Slack and Google Sheets the moment they land, not on the next poll
- →Research assistant work where "Collect Raw Text" is still a manual step before Slack
- →Research assistant work that only reaches Slack when a webhook arrives, when someone remembers to start it

What's inside (17 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.
- •Moving data between Google Sheets, Gmail and Slack in a single run
- •Splitting one run into branches and merging the results back
- •Adding retries and an explicit error path to external calls
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 (Slack, Google Sheets, 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.
