Workflow Templates

Who is this for? This workflow is perfect for digital content creators, marketers, and social media managers who regularly create engaging short-form videos featuring inspirational or motivational quotes. While the workflow is universally applicable, it specifically highlights Thai as an example to demonstrate effective language and font integration. What problem is this workflow solving? Creating consistent and engaging multilingual video content manually, including attractive fonts and proper video formatting, is time-consuming and repetitive. Additionally, managing files, background music, and updating statuses manually can be tedious and prone to errors. What this workflow does Automatically fetches background video and music files stored on Google Drive. Randomly selects a quote (demonstrated with Thai language) and author information from Google Sheets. Dynamically combines the selected quote and author text using appealing fonts, such as the Thai font "Kanit," directly onto the video using FFmpeg on your n8n local environment. Creates visually engaging videos with a 9:16 aspect ratio, optimized for YouTube Shorts and other vertical video platforms. Automatically uploads the finalized video to YouTube. Updates the status and YouTube URL back into your Google Sheet, ensuring you have up-to-date records. Setup Requirements: This workflow requires a self-hosted n8n instance, as the execution of FFmpeg commands is not supported on n8n Cloud. Ensure FFmpeg is installed on your self-hosted environment. Google Sheets Setup: Your Google Sheet must include at least these columns: Index: (Unique identifier for each quote) Quote: (Text of the quote) Author: (Author of the quote) CreateStatus: (Track video creation status; values like 'DONE' or blank for pending) YoutubeURL: (Automatically updated after upload) To help you get started quickly, you can use this template spreadsheet. Next steps: Organize your video and music files in separate folders in Google Drive. Authenticate your Google Sheets, Google Drive, and YouTube accounts in n8n. Ensure fonts compatible with your target languages (such as Kanit for Thai) are available in your FFmpeg installation. How to customize this workflow to your needs Fonts:** Adjust font styles and sizes within the workflow's code node. Ensure the fonts you choose fully support the language you wish to use. Quote Management:** Easily add or remove quotes and authors in your Google Sheets document. Media Files:** Change or update background videos and music by modifying the files in your Google Drive folders. Video Specifications:** Customize video dimensions, text positioning, opacity, and music volume directly in the provided FFmpeg commands. Benefits of Using Localized Fonts and Quotes Utilizing fonts specific to your target language, as demonstrated with Thai, significantly increases audience engagement by making your content more relatable, shareable, and visually appealing. Ensure you select fonts that properly support the language you're targeting.

This n8n template monitors an Outlook mailbox for invoices, automatically parses/extracts data from them and then uploads the output to an Excel Workbook. One of my top workflow requests, this template can save many hours of manual labour for you or your finance/accounts team. How it works A scheduled trigger is set to fetch recent Outlook messages to the Accounts receivable mailbox. Each message is analysed to determine whether or not it from a supplier and is issuing/contains an invoice. For each valid message, the attachments are downloaded and non-invoice documents are filtered out via AI Vision classification. Invoices are then processed through a AI vision model again to extract the details. The extracted data can then be used for reconciliation or otherwise. For this demonstration, we'll just append the row to an Excel sheet for now. How to use Ensure your Microsoft365 credential points to the correct mailbox. If a shared folder is used, toggle "shared folder" option to "on" and for the principal ID, use the email address. If you receive lots of other types of messages such as replies and forwards, you may want to implement additional checks to prevent processing invoices twice. The "remove duplicates" node can help with this. Requirements Outlook for Mailbox Google Gemini for Document Understanding and Invoice Extraction Excel for Data Storage Customising this workflow Note the assumption for this template is that all invoices will come as a PDF attachment. In real life, this is rarely the case! Adding in document conversion to cover all invoice formats. Human feedback is also an important factor in AI workflows. Try tagging emails as a way to notify team members that the invoice was processed.

This workflow gets leads' contacts from a CSV file and adds it to the Pipedrive CRM by creating an organization and a person. The CSV file in this workflow serves as a universal connector allowing you to export contacts from any platform like LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. Prerequisites Google account and Google credentials Pipedrive account and Pipedrive credentials How it works The Google Drive Trigger node starts the workflow when a new CSV file is uploaded to a specific folder in Google Drive. Google Drive node downloads the CSV file. Spreadsheet File node reads data from the CSV file and sends the output to the Merge node. This Spreadsheet File's output becomes the input 1 for the Merge node. Meanwhile, the Pipedrive node gets the same list of contacts from the CSV file. IF node checks if Pipedrive has these contacts already created previously and sends the checked results to the Merge node. These results arrive at the Merge node as input 2. Merge node compares two inputs via email and removes the matches. Pipedrive node creates new contacts based on the data provided by the Merge node with necessary details such as organization and notes.

This workflow creates nested Google Drive folders from a path string (like Projects/Clients/Reports). It automatically handles the necessary folder lookups and creation steps required by Google Drive, then outputs the final folder's ID for immediate use. How it works This workflow streamlines the creation of nested folders in Google Drive: Input: Provide a root_folder_id and a path (e.g., Projects/Clients/Reports) as input. Path Parsing: The workflow splits the path into individual folder names (based on the / separator) Iterative Check & Create: Loops through each part of your path: Searches within the current parent folder (starting with the root_folder_id) for a subfolder matching the name. If found: Retrieves the existing folder's ID to use as the parent for the next iteration. If not found: Creates a new folder with that name inside the current parent folder and uses the new folder's ID as the parent for the next iteration. Output: Returns the Google Drive Folder ID of the very last folder in the specified path (e.g., the ID for Reports in the example above). This ID can then be directly used in subsequent n8n nodes to upload files, create documents, or perform other actions within that specific folder. Set up steps Setting up this workflow requires configuring the connection to Google Drive and knowing where to start creating folders: Connect Google Drive Account: Ensure you have a Google Drive credential configured in your n8n instance. Then link your credentials in the workflow: there are 2 Google Drive nodes that will need to be updated. Identify Starting Folder ID: Determine the Google Drive Folder ID where your nested structure should begin. You can either use the root of your Google Drive or a specific folder: To use the root of Google Drive, simply set root_folder_id to root (also called "My Drive" in the UI) To use a specific folder, open the folder in a webbrowser and look at the URL. The folder ID will be in the last part of the URL: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/THIS_IS_THE_FOLDER_ID. Prepare Inputs for Execution: When running the workflow (or triggering it), you will need to provide: google_drive_folder_id -> this is the root folder ID you identified in step 2. desired_path -> This is the path you want to create (e.g., Projects/Clients/Reports). Here's an example of how you can call this workflow in your other workflows:
