Track mentions of keywords: Slack + sentiment
Runs on a schedule across Slack, Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams, scores the sentiment of every message, then runs the custom logic in a Code node. Built for listening, around a "Normalize Post Payload" step, in 18 documented nodes.
Track mentions of keywords with Slack and Microsoft Teams end to end. 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, Microsoft Teams. 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. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Slack and Google Sheets in step for listening, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 18 nodes in this listening build
- ✓Branches rejoin before Slack, so a listening run reports once rather than 18 times
- ✓Every listening run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Slack
- ✓Fans the same result out to Microsoft Teams in the same run, for listening
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for listening
- →Listening work where "Normalize Post Payload" is still a manual step before Slack
- →Listening work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, 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.

What you'll learn
Advanced levelAdds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.
- •Filtering to only what is worth surfacing
- •Cross-posting to several channels in parallel
- •Moving data between Microsoft Teams, Google Sheets and Slack 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 (Slack, Google Sheets, Microsoft Teams). 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.
