Send a metrics report: Gmail & MySQL
Runs on a schedule across Gmail, MySQL and Slack, runs the text through an AI chain, then reads the feed and keeps only what is new. Built for newsletters, around a "Read Source Feed" step, in 17 documented nodes.
Send a metrics report with MySQL and Gmail and log the results. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Scheduled Digest' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 17 nodes across Gmail, MySQL, Slack. 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. Your team sees the right data at the right time.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Gmail and MySQL in step for newsletters, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Gmail or MySQL are skipped, across all 17 nodes of this newsletters build
- ✓A failed Gmail or MySQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 17 nodes in this newsletters build
- ✓The newsletters AI step is isolated from Gmail, so models swap without touching the other 17 nodes
- ✓Fans the same result out to Slack in the same run, for newsletters
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Gmail and MySQL aligned by hand for newsletters
- →Newsletters work where "Read Source Feed" is still a manual step before Gmail
- →Newsletters work that only reaches Gmail on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

Advanced levelAdds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.
- •Collecting from multiple sources and blending them into one stream
- •Summarizing and formatting a readable digest
- •Moving data between Gmail, Slack and MySQL 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?

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 (Gmail, MySQL, Slack). No coding is required.
