Track mentions of keywords: Slack, scheduled
Runs on a schedule across Slack, Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams, scores the sentiment of every message. Built for engagement, around a "Keep Valid Posts" step, in 16 documented nodes.
Track mentions of keywords with Slack and Microsoft Teams for your team. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Social Listening' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 16 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. Your team sees the right data at the right time.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Slack and Google Sheets in step for engagement, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 16 nodes in this engagement build
- ✓Branches rejoin before Slack, so a engagement run reports once rather than 16 times
- ✓Fans the same result out to Microsoft Teams in the same run, for engagement
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 16 nodes for engagement before wiring Slack
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for engagement
- →Engagement work where "Keep Valid Posts" is still a manual step before Slack
- →Engagement work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What you'll learn
Foundation levelA starter-sized build - small enough to hold in your head while you learn the pattern.
- •Filtering to only what is worth surfacing
- •Cross-posting to several channels in parallel
- •Moving data between Slack, Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams 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.
