Remind open deals: Google Sheets, Slack & Gmail
Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets, Slack and Gmail, walks the list in batches, pausing between them, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for inbox triage, around a "Read Pending Queue (Google Sheets)" step, in 13 documented nodes.
Remind open deals with Google Sheets and Gmail with instant alerts. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Reminders & Follow-ups' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 13 nodes across Google Sheets, Slack, HTTP / REST API. 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 Google Sheets and Slack in step for inbox triage, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 13 nodes in this inbox-triage build
- ✓Bad input stops the run for inbox triage instead of landing in Google Sheets
- ✓The pause before Google Sheets is durable — a inbox-triage run survives a restart
- ✓Batches the work so Google Sheets rate limits never break a inbox-triage run
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Slack aligned by hand for inbox triage
- →Inbox triage sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Google Sheets
- →A backlog too large to push into Google Sheets in one pass, across 13 nodes
- →Inbox triage work where "Read Pending Queue (Google Sheets)" is still a manual step before Google Sheets

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
Core levelA compact production shape: validation and error handling without extra machinery.
- •Scheduling time-based follow-ups that survive restarts
- •Exiting the sequence when the task is already done
- •Moving data between Google Sheets, 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 (Google Sheets, Slack, HTTP / REST API, 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.
