Remind open deals for inbox triage
Runs on a schedule across Outlook and PostgreSQL, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for inbox triage, around a "Slot Free?" step, in 9 documented nodes.
Remind open deals with PostgreSQL and Outlook 24/7. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Reminders & Follow-ups' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 9 nodes across Outlook, PostgreSQL. Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Outlook and PostgreSQL in step for inbox triage, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Outlook or PostgreSQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 9 nodes in this inbox-triage build
- ✓The pause before Outlook is durable — a inbox-triage run survives a restart
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 9 nodes for inbox triage before wiring Outlook
- ✓9 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for inbox triage
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Outlook and PostgreSQL aligned by hand for inbox triage
- →Inbox triage sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Outlook
- →Inbox triage work where "Slot Free?" is still a manual step before Outlook
- →Inbox triage work that only reaches Outlook on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What's inside (9 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
Foundation levelA starter-sized build - small enough to hold in your head while you learn the pattern.
- •Scheduling time-based follow-ups that survive restarts
- •Exiting the sequence when the task is already done
- •Moving data between PostgreSQL and Outlook 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 (Outlook, PostgreSQL). 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.
