Track mentions of brand mentions: Slack & Google Sheets

Runs on a schedule across Slack, Google Sheets and Outlook, runs the text through an AI chain, then reads the feed and keeps only what is new. Built for cross-posting, around a "Read Source Feed" step, in 18 documented nodes.

Track mentions of brand mentions with Slack and Outlook 24/7. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Social Listening' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 18 nodes across Slack, Google Sheets, Outlook. 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 Slack and Google Sheets in step for cross-posting, without anyone re-typing a row
  • Safe to re-run: records already in Slack or Google Sheets are skipped, across all 18 nodes of this cross-posting build
  • A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 18 nodes in this cross-posting build
  • Branches rejoin before Slack, so a cross-posting run reports once rather than 18 times
  • The cross-posting AI step is isolated from Slack, so models swap without touching the other 18 nodes

Use cases

  • Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for cross-posting
  • Cross-posting work where "Read Source Feed" is still a manual step before Slack
  • Cross-posting work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

From download to running in 3 steps

  1. 1
    Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
  2. 2
    Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
  3. 3
    Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.

What you'll learn

Advanced level

Adds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.

  • Polling a feed and deduplicating across executions
  • Pulling an RSS feed on a schedule and shaping each entry
  • Filtering to only what is worth surfacing

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, Outlook). 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.
