Produce newsletters: Slack

Runs on a schedule across Slack and Google Sheets, summarises long text with an AI chain. Built for social copy, around a "Read Recent from Google Sheets" step, in 19 documented nodes.

Produce newsletters with Google Sheets and Slack at scale. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Content Generation' pattern for content creation & media. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 19 nodes across Slack, Google Sheets. 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. The result is a hands-off process that just works.

Key benefits

  • Keeps Slack and Google Sheets in step for social copy, without anyone re-typing a row
  • A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 19 nodes in this social-copy build
  • Every social-copy run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Slack
  • The social-copy AI step is isolated from Slack, so models swap without touching the other 19 nodes
  • Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 19 nodes for social copy before wiring Slack

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for social copy
  • Social copy work where "Read Recent from Google Sheets" is still a manual step before Slack
  • Social copy work that only reaches Slack 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

Advanced level

Adds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.

  • Chaining a writer pass and a separate critic pass for better output
  • Converting markdown to HTML for delivery
  • Publishing as a draft so a human stays the final gate

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). 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.
