Review requests: Google Sheets
Starts when someone submits the form across Google Sheets, Slack and Google Drive, routes each kind of record down its own branch, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for task routing, around a "Route by Work Type" step, in 22 documented nodes.
Review requests with Slack and Google Drive. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Approval Workflow' pattern for software development & devops. It starts from a form and orchestrates 22 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. The result is a hands-off process that just works.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Google Sheets and Slack in step for task routing, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or Slack are skipped, across all 22 nodes of this task-routing build
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 22 nodes in this task-routing build
- ✓Bad input stops the run for task routing instead of landing in Google Sheets
- ✓Branches rejoin before Google Sheets, so a task-routing run reports once rather than 22 times
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Slack aligned by hand for task routing
- →Intake checked for completeness before it is stored in Google Sheets, for task routing
- →Task routing work where "Route by Work Type" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
- →Task routing work that only reaches Google Sheets when a form is submitted, 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.
- 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
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Branching cleanly on approve versus decline
- •Moving data between Google Sheets, Slack and Google Drive in a single run
- •Failing loudly on a bad run instead of letting it pass silently
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, 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.
