Send a weekly summary: Slack
Runs on a schedule across Slack and Google Sheets, runs the text through an AI chain, then rolls the rows up into a few numbers. Built for inbox triage, around a "Gather from Google Sheets" step, in 17 documented nodes.
Send a weekly summary with Google Sheets and Slack hands-free. 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 Slack, Google Sheets. 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. The result is a hands-off process that just works.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Slack and Google Sheets in step for inbox triage, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 17 nodes in this inbox-triage build
- ✓The inbox-triage AI step is isolated from Slack, so models swap without touching the other 17 nodes
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 17 nodes for inbox triage before wiring Slack
- ✓17 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for inbox triage
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for inbox triage
- →Inbox triage work where "Gather from Google Sheets" is still a manual step before Slack
- →Inbox triage work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What you'll learn
Advanced levelAdds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.
- •Collecting from multiple sources and blending them into one stream
- •Rolling many rows up into a few reportable numbers
- •Summarizing and formatting a readable digest
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 (Slack, Google Sheets). 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.
