Publish short videos on a schedule
Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets, Slack and Google Drive, parses the incoming file into rows, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for publishing, around a "Download from Google Drive" step, in 17 documented nodes.
Publish short videos with Google Sheets and Google Drive end to end. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Video Production' pattern for content creation & media. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 17 nodes across Google Sheets, Slack, Google Drive. 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 Google Sheets and Slack in step for publishing, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 17 nodes in this publishing build
- ✓Fans the same result out to Google Drive in the same run, for publishing
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 17 nodes for publishing before wiring Google Sheets
- ✓17 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for publishing
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Slack aligned by hand for publishing
- →Publishing work where "Download from Google Drive" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
- →Publishing work that only reaches Google Sheets 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.
- •Moving media assets through a processing pipeline
- •Staging metadata and descriptions for publishing
- •Archiving finished assets
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 (Google Sheets, Slack, Google Drive). 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.
