Track mentions of keywords: Google Sheets for listening
Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets, Slack and Notion, diffs the two sides and writes only the gaps, then scrapes the values straight out of the HTML. Built for listening, around a "Fetch Target Page" step, in 32 documented nodes.
Track mentions of keywords with HTTP / REST API and Twilio without manual work. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Social Listening' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 32 nodes across Google Sheets, Slack, HTTP / REST API. 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 Google Sheets and Slack in step for listening, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Compares Google Sheets against Slack before writing, so only genuine differences land
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or Slack are skipped, across all 32 nodes of this listening build
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 32 nodes in this listening build
- ✓Every listening run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Google Sheets
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Slack aligned by hand for listening
- →Reconciling Google Sheets against Slack after the two quietly drifted apart
- →Listening work where "Fetch Target Page" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
- →Listening work that only reaches Google Sheets on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

What's inside (32 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
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.
- 3Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.
What you'll learn
Architect levelThe deepest tier - sub-workflow delegation, state snapshots, and full observability.
- •Polling a feed and deduplicating across executions
- •Cross-posting to several channels in parallel
- •Moving data between Google Sheets, Twilio and Notion 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 (Google Sheets, Slack, HTTP / REST API, Notion, …). 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.
