Produce blog drafts with Slack & Google Sheets

Runs on a schedule across Slack, Google Sheets and Notion, hands the decision to an AI agent with its own tools, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for blog posts, around a "Normalize Draft Payload" step, in 32 documented nodes.

Produce blog drafts with MySQL and Slack and log the results. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Content Generation' pattern for content creation & media. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 32 nodes across Slack, 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. Your team sees the right data at the right time.

Key benefits

  • Keeps Slack and Google Sheets in step for blog posts, without anyone re-typing a row
  • Safe to re-run: records already in Slack or Google Sheets are skipped, across all 32 nodes of this blog-posts build
  • A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 32 nodes in this blog-posts build
  • Every blog-posts run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Slack
  • The blog-posts AI step is isolated from Slack, so models swap without touching the other 32 nodes

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for blog posts
  • Blog posts work that needs a judgement call per item before it reaches Slack
  • Blog posts work where "Normalize Draft Payload" is still a manual step before Slack
  • Blog posts work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

Agent tools included (2)

An AI Agent is only as capable as the tools wired into it. These are read from the template's own graph — every one is a real node in the file you download.

  • Draft Specialist (Sub-workflow) · Another n8n workflow
  • Research Specialist (Sub-workflow) · Another n8n workflow

This agent runs without conversation memory - each run starts from the incoming request.

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.

  • Chaining a writer pass and a separate critic pass for better output
  • Publishing as a draft so a human stays the final gate
  • Moving data between Notion, 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 (Slack, 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.
