Welcome new hires for approvals
Fires the moment a webhook arrives across Google Sheets and Outlook, routes each kind of record down its own branch, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for approvals, around a "Keep Valid Tasks" step, in 23 documented nodes.
Welcome new hires with Google Sheets and Outlook. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Onboarding Sequence' pattern for software development & devops. It fires on a webhook and orchestrates 23 nodes across Google Sheets, Outlook, HTTP / REST API. 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 Google Sheets and Outlook in step for approvals, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or Outlook are skipped, across all 23 nodes of this approvals build
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Outlook call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 23 nodes in this approvals build
- ✓Branches rejoin before Google Sheets, so a approvals run reports once rather than 23 times
- ✓Every approvals run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Google Sheets
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Outlook aligned by hand for approvals
- →Pushing approvals events into Google Sheets and Outlook the moment they land, not on the next poll
- →Approvals work where "Keep Valid Tasks" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
- →Approvals work that only reaches Google Sheets when a webhook arrives, 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.
- 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.
- •Tracking progress so steps are not repeated
- •Branching by segment
- •Moving data between Google Sheets and Outlook 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, Outlook, HTTP / REST API). 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.
