Welcome new customers: Google Sheets
Fires the moment a webhook arrives across Google Sheets and Gmail, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for approvals, around a "Stamp & Shape Task" step, in 20 documented nodes.
Welcome new customers with Google Sheets and Gmail. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Onboarding Sequence' pattern for software development & devops. It fires on a webhook and orchestrates 20 nodes across Google Sheets, Gmail. 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 Gmail in step for approvals, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Gmail call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 20 nodes in this approvals build
- ✓The pause before Google Sheets is durable — a approvals run survives a restart
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 20 nodes for approvals before wiring Google Sheets
- ✓20 nodes, each with a doc card explaining what it does for approvals
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Gmail aligned by hand for approvals
- →Approvals sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Google Sheets
- →Pushing approvals events into Google Sheets and Gmail the moment they land, not on the next poll
- →Approvals work where "Stamp & Shape Task" is still a manual step before Google Sheets

What's inside (20 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
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Staging a multi-step onboarding with waits between steps
- •Branching by segment
- •Moving data between Google Sheets and Gmail 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, Gmail). 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.
