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. Format data uses a Set node to combine each quote (q) and author (a) into a single string: "“quote” – author". Send response returns a JSON array of objects { quote, author } back to the caller. 👤 Who is it for? This workflow is ideal for: Developers building motivational Slack or Discord bots. Website owners adding on-demand quote widgets. Educators or trainers sharing daily inspiration via webhooks. Anyone learning webhook handling and API integration in n8n. 🗂️ Response Structure Your webhook response will be a JSON array, for example: [ { "quote": "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.", "author": "John Lennon" }, { "quote": "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.", "author": "Oscar Wilde" } ] ⚙️ Setup Instructions Import the workflow JSON into your n8n instance. In the Webhook node, set your desired path (e.g., /inspire). (Optional) Change the count parameter in the HTTP Request node to fetch more or fewer quotes. Activate the workflow. Test by sending an HTTP GET or POST to https://<your-n8n-domain>/webhook/<path>.

Use Case 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 and collect them in Notion. 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 Notion, 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 Add a Database in Notion with the columns Name and Creator Add your Notion credentials and add the integration to your Notion page. Fill the setup node below 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 Notion and for example, add different types of ideas or areas that they impact You might wanna add different templates in Notion to make it easier for users to fill their ideas with details 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. (see this template and this template) 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 (see here)

This n8n workflow automates the process of saving web articles or links shared in a chat conversation directly into a Notion database, using Google's Gemini AI and Browserless for web scraping. Who is this AI automation template for? It's useful for anyone wanting to reduce manual copy-pasting and organize web findings seamlessly within Notion. A smarter web clipping tool! What this AI automation workflow does Starts when a message is received Uses a Google Gemini AI Agent node to understand the context and manage the subsequent steps. It identifies if a message contains a request to save an article/link. If a URL is detected, it utilizes a tool configured with the Browserless API (via the HTTP Request node) to scrape the content of the web page. Creates a new page in a specified Notion database, populating it with thea summary scraped content, in a specific format, never leaving out any important details. It also saves the original URL, smart tags, publication date, and other metadata extracted by the AI. Posts a confirmation message (e.g., to a Discord channel) indicating whether the article was saved successfully or if an error occurred. Setup Import Workflow: Import this template into your n8n instance. Configure Credentials & Notion Database: Notion Database: Create or designate a Notion database (like the example "Knowledge Database") where articles will be saved. Ensure this database has the following properties (fields): Name (Type: Text) - This will store the article title. URL (Type: URL) - This will store the original article link. Description (Type: Text) - This can store the AI-generated summary. Tags (Type: Multi-select) - Optional, for categorization. Publication Date (Type: Date) - *Optional, store the date the article was published. Ensure the n8n integration has access to this specific database. If you require a different format to the Notion Database, not that you will have to update the Notion tool configuration in this n8n workflow accordingly. Notion Credential: Obtain your Notion API key and add it as a Notion credential in n8n. Select this credential in the save_to_notion tool node. Configure save_to_notion Tool: In the save_to_notion tool node within the workflow, set the 'Database ID' field to the ID of the Notion database you prepared above. Map the workflow data (URL, AI summary, etc.) to the corresponding database properties (URL, Description, etc.). In the blocks section of the notion tool, you can define a custom format for the research page, allowing the AI to fill in the exact details you want extracted from any web page! Google Gemini AI: Obtain your API key from Google AI Studio or Google Cloud Console (if using Vertex AI) and add it as a credential. Select this credential in the "Tools Agent" node. Discord (or other notification service): If using Discord notifications, create a Webhook URL (instructions) or set up a Bot Token. Add the credential in n8n and select it in the discord_notification tool node. Configure the target Channel ID. Browserless/HTTP Request: Cloud: Obtain your API key from Browserless and configure the website_scraper HTTP Request tool node with the correct API endpoint and authentication header. Self-Hosted: Ensure your Browserless Docker container is running and accessible by n8n. Configure the website_scraper HTTP Request tool node with your self-hosted Browserless instance URL. Activate Workflow: Save test and activate the workflow. How to customize this workflow to your needs Change AI Model:** Experiment with different AI models supported by n8n (like OpenAI GPT models or Anthropic Claude) in the Agent node if Gemini 2.5 Pro doesn't fit your needs or budget, keeping in mind potential differences in context window size and processing capabilities for large content. Modify Notion Saving:** Adjust the save_to_notion tool node to map different data fields (e.g., change the summary style by modifying the AI prompt, add specific tags, or alter the page content structure) to your Notion database properties. Adjust Scraping:** Modify the prompt/instructions for the website_scraper tool or change the parameters sent to the Browserless API if you need different data extracted from the web pages. You could also swap Browserless for another scraping service/API accessible via the HTTP Request node.

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.
