Workflow Templates

Use case This workflow snoozes any Todoist tasks, by moving them into a Snoozed todoist list and unsnoozes them 3 days before due date. Helps keep inbox clear only of tasks you need to worry about soon. How to setup Add your Todoist creds Create a Todoist project called snoozed Set the project ids in the relevant nodes Add due dates to your tasks in Inbox. Watch them disappear to snoozed. Set their date to tomorrow, watch it return to inbox. How to adjust this template Adjust the timeline.. Maybe 3 days is too close for you. Works mostly for me :)

This n8n workflow automates the monitoring and notification of Palo Alto Networks security advisories. It is triggered manually from within the n8n UI or scheduled to run daily at midnight using the Schedule Trigger. The workflow begins by fetching the latest security advisories from Palo Alto Networks' RSS feed. Each advisory is then processed, and relevant information is extracted and categorized, including the advisory type, subject, and severity. The workflow checks the publication date of each advisory to ensure that it was posted within the last 24 hours, filtering out older advisories. The workflow then splits into two paths based on the advisory type: GlobalProtect and Traps. In the GlobalProtect path, advisories related to GlobalProtect are identified and used to create Jira issues. The Jira issues include a summary with the advisory title and a description that provides details about the advisory, its severity, link, and publication date. In the Traps path, advisories related to Traps are recognized, and dummy data (which should be replaced with logic to retrieve valid user emails) is generated for sample purposes. These email addresses are then used to send email notifications using the Gmail node. Each email's subject includes the type of advisory, while the body contains the advisory title and a link for more information. Potential issues when setting up this workflow for the first time might involve configuring the Schedule Trigger to match the desired time zone. Additionally, ensuring that the Jira and Gmail nodes are configured correctly with the required credentials and email addresses is crucial. The placeholder for generating dummy data for email recipients should be replaced with logic to retrieve valid user emails. Proper error handling and testing with real and sample advisories can help identify and resolve any potential issues during setup.

Create multi-sheet Excel workbooks in n8n to automate reporting using Google Drive + Google Sheets Build an automated Excel file with multiple tabs directly in n8n. Two Code nodes generate datasets, each is converted into its own Excel worksheet, then combined into a single .xlsx and (optionally) appended to a Google Sheet for sharing—eliminating manual copy-paste and speeding up reporting. Who’s it for Teams that publish recurring reports as Excel with multiple tabs Ops/Marketing/Data folks who want a no-code/low-code way to package JSON into Excel n8n beginners learning the Code → Convert to File → Merge pattern How it works Manual Trigger starts the run. Code nodes emit JSON rows for each table (e.g., People, Locations). Convert to File nodes turn each JSON list into an Excel binary, assigning Sheet1/Sheet2 (or your names). Merge combines both binaries into a single Excel workbook with multiple tabs. Google Sheets (optional) appends the JSON rows to a live spreadsheet for collaboration. Setup (only 2 connections) 1️⃣ Connect Google Sheets (OAuth2) In n8n → Credentials → New → Google Sheets (OAuth2) Sign in with your Google account and grant access Copy the example sheet referenced in the Google Sheets node (open the node and duplicate the linked sheet), or select your own In the workflow’s Google Sheets node, select your Spreadsheet and Worksheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G6FSm3VdMZt6VubM6g8j0mFw59iEw9npJE0upxj3Y6k/edit?gid=1978181834#gid=1978181834 2️⃣ Connect Google Drive (OAuth2) In n8n → Credentials → New → Google Drive (OAuth2) Sign in with the Google account that will store your Excel outputs and allow access In your Drive-related nodes (if used), point to the folder where you want the .xlsx saved or retrieved Customize the workflow Replace the sample arrays in the Code nodes with your data (APIs, DBs, CSVs, etc.) Rename sheetName in each Convert to File node to match your desired tab names Keep the Merge node in Combine All mode to produce a single workbook In Google Sheets, switch to Manual mapping for strict column order (optional) Best practices (per template guidelines) Rename nodes** to clear, action-oriented names (e.g., “Build People Sheet”, “Build Locations Sheet”) Add a yellow Sticky Note at the top with this description so users see setup in-workflow Do not hardcode credentials** inside HTTP nodes; always use n8n Credentials Remove personal IDs/links before publishing Sticky Note (copy-paste) > Multi-Tab Excel Builder (Google Drive + Google Sheets) > This workflow generates two datasets (Code → JSON), converts each to an Excel sheet, merges them into a single workbook with multiple tabs, and optionally appends rows to Google Sheets. > > Setup (2 connections): > 1) Google Sheets (OAuth2): Create credentials → duplicate/select your target spreadsheet → set Spreadsheet + Worksheet in the node. > 2) Google Drive (OAuth2): Create credentials → choose the folder for storing/retrieving the .xlsx. > > Customize: Edit the Code nodes’ arrays, rename tab names in Convert to File, and adjust the Sheets node mapping as needed.

Google Calendar MCP – Context-Aware Calendar Operations This n8n template implements an MCP (Model Context Protocol)-compliant module for managing Google Calendar events in a context-aware, conflict-free manner. 🧠 What It Does This MCP enables structured interaction with Google Calendar based on context and intent, ensuring reliable, reusable operations with awareness of existing data and state. ✅ Core Capabilities Context-aware event creation** Prevents overlapping by validating time availability before creating new events. Gap validation** Checks if a time range is busy or free, enabling smarter scheduling decisions. Conditional updates** Only updates events after confirming their existence and current state. Safe deletion** Removes events using MCP principles of validation and traceability. 🚀 How to Use To use this MCP in your context-aware systems: Deploy the template in your n8n instance. Locate the Server node in the workflow — it exposes a Server-Sent Events (SSE) URL. Copy that SSE URL. Use that URL as the entry point for your MCP client or orchestrator. This URL acts as the communication bridge, allowing you to interact with the MCP-compliant Google Calendar logic using standard MCP semantics.

Emailing Using Google Sheet, Google Docs, and SMTP Automate personalized email campaigns using a Google Sheets contact list, a Google Docs template, and SMTP delivery. How It Works Google Docs** is used as the email template with variables: {{firstname}}, {{lastname}}, {{company}}, {{email}}. Google Sheet** contains your list of recipients (one per row). For each contact, the workflow merges personal data into the Google Docs template. Email is sent to each recipient via SMTP (batch size: 1). Use the Wait node to respect provider quotas. After sending, the workflow updates the "process" column of the Google Sheet with the date/time. How to Use Copy Templates: Google Docs Template Google Sheet Template Find each document’s ID (the text after /d/ and before /edit in the URL). Configure Workflow: Enter your Google Docs and Google Sheets IDs in the settings node. Set your email subject in the appropriate parameter. Set Up Credentials: Connect your Google account. Configure the SMTP node with your mail server details. Update Data: Edit the Google Docs template with your message and variables. Prepare your Google Sheet with these columns: email, firstname, lastname, company. Deploy and Test: Connect all nodes. Test with a small contact batch. Troubleshoot any node errors (indicated in red in n8n). Requirements Google Credentials & permissions**: For Sheets and Docs access. SMTP Server**: For email delivery (adjust Wait node for rate limits). n8n Version**: Tested on 1.105.2 (Ubuntu). Need Help? Contact me on LinkedIn or ask in the n8n Community Forum!

This workflow enables seamless, bidirectional communication between WhatsApp and Slack using n8n. It automates the reception, processing, and forwarding of messages (text, media, and documents) between users on WhatsApp and private Slack channels. Key Features & Flow: 1. WhatsApp to Slack Flow Trigger: The workflow starts with a WhatsApp Trigger node that listens for new incoming messages via a webhook. Channel Handling: It checks if a Slack channel with the WhatsApp sender’s number exists If not, it creates a private Slack channel with the sender's number as the name. Message Type Routing: A Switch Node (Message Type) inspects the message type (text, image, audio, document). Based on type: Text: Sends the message directly to Slack. Image/Audio/Document: Retrieves media URL via WhatsApp API → downloads the media → uploads it to the appropriate Slack channel. 2. Slack to WhatsApp Flow Trigger: A Slack Trigger listens for new messages or file uploads in Slack. Message Type Routing: A second Switch Node (Checking Message Type) checks if the message is text or media. Routing Logic: Text Message: Extracts and forwards it to the WhatsApp contact (identified by the Slack channel name). Media/File Message: Retrieves media file URL from Slack → downloads it → sends it as a document via WhatsApp API. Key Integrations: WhatsApp Cloud API: For receiving messages, downloading media, and sending messages. Slack API: For creating/getting channels, posting messages, and uploading files. HTTP Request Node: Used to securely download media from Slack and WhatsApp servers with proper authentication. Automation Use Case: This workflow is ideal for businesses that handle customer support or conversations over WhatsApp and wish to log, respond, and collaborate using Slack as their internal communication tool.

This template uses VAPI and Cal.com to book appointments through a voice conversation. It detects whether the user wants to check availability or book an appointment, then responds naturally with real-time scheduling options. Who is this for? This workflow is perfect for: Voice assistant developers AI receptionists and smart concierge tools Service providers (salons, clinics, coaches) needing hands-free scheduling Anyone building voice-based customer experiences What does it do? This workflow turns a natural voice conversation into a working appointment system. It starts with a Webhook connected to your VAPI voice agent. The Set node extracts user intent (like “check availability” or “book now”). A Switch node branches logic based on the intent. If the user wants to check availability, the workflow fetches available times from Cal.com. If the user wants to book, it creates a new event using Cal.com's API. The final result is sent back to VAPI as a conversational voice response. How to use it Import this workflow into your n8n instance. Set up a Webhook node and connect it to your VAPI voice agent. Add your Cal.com API token as a credential (use HTTP Header Auth). Deploy and test using VAPI’s simulator or real phone input. (Optional) Customize the OpenAI prompt if you're using it to process or moderate inputs. Requirements A working VAPI agent A Cal.com account with API access n8n (cloud or self-hosted) An understanding of how to configure webhook and API credentials in n8n Customization Ideas Swap out Cal.com with another booking API (like Calendly) Add a Google Sheets or Supabase node to log appointments Use OpenAI to summarize or sanitize voice inputs before proceeding Build multi-turn conversations in VAPI for more complex bookings

This workflow allows extracting data from multiple pages website. The workflow: 1) Starts in a country list at https://www.theswiftcodes.com/browse-by-country/. 2) Loads every country page (https://www.theswiftcodes.com/albania/) 3) Paginates every page in the country page. 4) Extracts data from the country page. 5) Saves data to MongoDB. 6) Paginates through all pages in all countries. It uses getWorkflowStaticData('global') method to recover the next page (saved from the previous page), and it goes ahead with all the pages. There is a first section where the countries list is recovered and extracted. Later, I try to read if a local cache page is available and I recover the cached page from the disk. Finally, I save data to MongoDB, and we paginate all the pages in the country and for all the countries. I have applied a cache system to save a visited page to n8n local disk. If I relaunch workflow, we check if a cache file exists to discard non-required requests to the webpage. If the data present in the website changes, you can apply a Cron node to check the website once per week. Finally, before inserting data in MongoDB, the best way to avoid duplicates is to check that swift_code (the primary value of the collection) doesn't exist. I recommend using a proxy for all requests to avoid IP blocks. A good solution for proxy plus IP rotation is scrapoxy.io. This workflow is perfect for small data requirements. If you need to scrape dynamic data, you can use a Headless browser or any other service. If you want to scrape huge lists of URIs, I recommend using Scrapy + Scrapoxy.
