Use Case This workflow is a slight variation of a workflow we're using at n8n. In most companies, employees have a lot of great ideas. That was the same for us at n8n. We wanted to make it as easy as possible to allow everyone to add their ideas to some formatted database - it should be somewhere where everyone is all the time and could add a new idea without much extra effort. Since we're using Slack, this seemed to be the perfect place to easily add ideas. In this example, we're adding the ideas to Google Sheets instead of Notion, like we do. What this workflow does This workflow waits for a webhook call within Slack, that gets fired when users use the /idea command on a bot that you will create as part of this template. It then checks the command, adds the idea to Google Sheets and notifies the user about the newly added idea as you can see below: Creating your Slack bot Visit https://api.slack.com/apps, click on New App and choose a name and workspace. Click on OAuth & Permissions and scroll down to Scopes -> Bot token Scopes Add the chat:write scope Head over to Slash Commands and click on Create New Command Use /idea as the command Copy the test URL from the Webhook node into Request URL Add whatever feels best to the description and usage hint Go to Install app and click install Setup Create a Google Sheets document with the columns Name and Creator Add your Google credentials Fill the Set me up node. Create your Slack app (see other sticky) Click Test workflow and use the /idea comment in Slack Activate the workflow and exchange the Request URL with the production URL from the webhook How to adjust it to your needs You can adjust the table in Google Sheets and for example, add different types of ideas or areas that they impact Rename the Slack command as it works best for you How to enhance this workflow At n8n we use this workflow in combination with some others. E.g. we have the following things on top: We additionally have a /bug Slack command that adds a new bug to Linear. Here we're using AI to classify the bugs and move it to the right team. (Bug command workflow and Ai Classifier workflow) We also added other types, like /pain to be less solution-driven To make it easier for everyone to give input, we added a Votes column that allows everyone to vote on ideas/pain points in the list We're also running a workflow once a week that highlights the most popular new ideas and the most active voters

Extract Title tag and meta description from url for SEO analysis. How it works The workflows takes records from Airtable, get the url in the records and extract from the related webpage the title tag (<title>) and meta description (<meta name="description" content="Some content">). If title tag and/or meta description tag isn't available on the webpage, the result will be empty. Setup Set a Base in Airtable with a table with the following structure: url (field type url), title tag (field type text string), meta desc (field type text field) Minimum suggested table structure is: url (https://example.com), title (Title example), meta desc* (This is the meta description of the example page) Connect Airtable to both Airtable nodes in the template and, with the following formula, get all the records that miss title tag and meta desc. Formula: AND(url != "", {title tag} = "", {meta desc} = "") Insert the url to be analyzed in the table in the field url and let the workflow do the rest. Extra You can also calculate the length for title tag and meta desc using formula field inside Airtable. This is the formula: LEN({title tag}) or LEN({meta desc}) You can automate the process calling a Webhook from Airtable. For this, you need an Airtable paid plan.

Encode JSON to Base64 String in n8n This example workflow demonstrates how to convert a JSON object into a base64-encoded string using n8n’s built-in file processing capabilities. This is a common requirement when working with APIs, webhooks, or SaaS integrations that expect payloads to be base64-encoded. > Tip: The three green-highlighted nodes (Stringify → Convert to File → Extract from File) can be wrapped in a Subworkflow to create a reusable Base64 encoder in your own projects. 🔧 Requirements Any running n8n instance (local or cloud) No credentials or external services required What This Workflow Does Generates example JSON data Converts the JSON to a string Saves the string as a binary file Extracts the file’s contents as a base64 string Outputs the base64 string on the final node Step-by-Step Setup Manual Trigger Start the workflow using the Manual Execution node. This is useful for testing and development. Create JSON Data The Create Json Data node uses raw mode to construct a sample object with all major JSON types: strings, numbers, booleans, nulls, arrays, nested objects, etc. Convert to String The Convert to String node uses the expression ={{ JSON.stringify($json) }} to flatten the object into a single string field named json_text. Convert to File The Convert to File node takes the json_text value and saves it to a UTF-8 encoded binary file in the property encoded_text. Extract from File This node takes the binary file and extracts its contents as a base64-encoded string. The result is saved in the base64_text field. Customization Tips Replace the sample JSON in the Create Json Data node with your own payload structure. To make this reusable, extract the three core nodes into a Subworkflow or wrap them in a custom Function. Use the base64_text output field to post to APIs, store in databases, or include in webhook responses.

🌐 Web Server Monitor & Alert System This automation pings web servers at regular intervals, logs their status, and sends email alerts if a server goes down. It’s perfect for maintaining visibility over server uptime — without complex monitoring tools. 🧠 How It Works This workflow performs minute-by-minute checks on all listed servers in a Google Sheet and: ✅ Logs all reachable servers in an “Alive” log. 🔻 Sends an email alert if a server is unreachable. 📄 Logs failed servers in a “Down” sheet with timestamps. 🧩 Key Components ⏰ 1. Schedule Trigger Runs the workflow every minute for real-time monitoring. 📄 2. Web Servers List (Google Sheets) Pulls server IPs or hostnames from a Google Sheet named Server_List. Each row = one server to monitor. This makes adding/removing servers effortless — just update the sheet. 🌐 3. Servers Alive Check (HTTP Request) Performs an HTTP GET request to each server (e.g., http://your-server.com). If the request fails, it automatically triggers the error path (handled via continueOnFail). ✅ 4. Web Server Alive Log (Google Sheets) Records successful pings in Server_Status_Alive with: Timestamp Server IP Status = Alive This log can be used for uptime reports or audits. 📧 5. Server Down Notification (Gmail) If a server fails, this node sends an email to the admin. It includes: Server address Timestamp Suggested action 📄 6. Web Server Down Log (Google Sheets) Logs failed pings in a separate sheet for historical tracking and debugging. ✅ Main Advantages Live Server Monitoring Stay informed about server health in near real-time. No-Code Configuration Add/remove servers from the Google Sheet — no need to touch the workflow. Email Alerts on Failure Proactively notifies you before users report the issue. Audit-Ready Logging Maintains logs for both healthy and failed checks for documentation or reporting.

Google Sheets UI for Workflow Control This n8n template provides a practical and efficient way to manage your n8n workflows using Google Sheets as a user-friendly interface. It demonstrates how to leverage a simple spreadsheet to control inputs, capture outputs, and track the processing status of individual data rows, offering a clear and visual overview of your automation tasks. Purpose of This Template: The primary purpose of this template is to illustrate how Google Sheets can serve as a dynamic UI for your n8n automations. It's designed for n8n users who need: A structured method to feed specific data into their workflows. The ability to selectively trigger workflow execution based on data status. A centralized place to view and store workflow outputs alongside original inputs. A simple, no-code solution for managing workflow data without building custom applications. Setup Instructions: To use this template, follow these steps: Create a Google Sheet: Set up a new Google Sheet (see the template here) with three columns: Color, Status, and Number. Populate the Color column with some sample data (e.g., color names) and set the Status for the rows you want to process to READY. Import the n8n Workflow: Import this n8n template into your n8n instance. Configure Google Sheets Nodes: For the first Google Sheets node (Read operation), ensure it's connected to your newly created Google Sheet and configured to read rows where the Status column is READY. You will need to authenticate your Google Sheets account. For the second Google Sheets node (Update operation), ensure it's also connected to the same Google Sheet. The node should automatically map the row_number, Number, and Status fields from the preceding nodes. Execute the Workflow: Run the workflow. Observe how it reads READY rows, processes them (calculates string length), and updates the Number and Status columns in your Google Sheet to DONE. Control Execution: To process new data, simply add new rows to your Google Sheet and set their Status to READY. Rerunning the workflow will then only process these new entries. For more details and context on this approach, you can refer to the related blog post here.

This n8n template lets you instantly serve batches of inspirational quotes via a webhook using the free ZenQuotes API. It’s perfect for developers, content creators, community managers, or educators who want to add dynamic, uplifting content to websites, chatbots, or internal tools—without writing custom backend code. 🔧 How it works A Webhook node listens for incoming HTTP requests on your chosen path. Get Random Quote from ZenQuotes sends an HTTP Request to https://zenquotes.io/api/random?count=5 and retrieves five random quotes.
