n8n Workflow: Google Sheets and Email Notification

This n8n workflow automates the process of retrieving data from a Google Sheet, performing a conditional check, and sending an email notification based on the result. It's designed to streamline data-driven alerts and communication.

What it does

This workflow performs the following steps:

  1. Triggers on Form Submission: The workflow starts when an n8n form is submitted.
  2. Retrieves Data from Google Sheets: It fetches data from a specified Google Sheet.
  3. Processes Data with Custom Code: A Code node is used to execute custom JavaScript logic, likely transforming or extracting specific information from the Google Sheets data.
  4. Conditional Logic: An "If" node evaluates a condition based on the processed data.
  5. Sends Email Notification: If the condition in the "If" node evaluates to true, an email notification is sent.
  6. Makes HTTP Request (Conditional): If the condition in the "If" node evaluates to false, an HTTP request is made. This could be used for logging, triggering another system, or sending a different type of notification.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
  • Google Sheets Account: Configured Google Sheets credentials in n8n with access to the target spreadsheet.
  • SMTP/Email Service: Configured Email (SMTP) credentials in n8n to send notifications.
  • Basic JavaScript Knowledge: For modifying the "Code" node if custom data processing is required.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Google Sheets: Update the "Google Sheets" node with your Google Sheets credentials and specify the Spreadsheet ID and Sheet Name you wish to read from.
    • Send Email: Configure the "Send Email" node with your email (SMTP) credentials, recipient email address(es), subject, and body.
  3. Configure Form Trigger: Set up the "On form submission" node with the fields you expect to receive from your form.
  4. Customize Code Node: Modify the "Code" node's JavaScript to process the data from Google Sheets as needed for your specific use case.
  5. Adjust 'If' Node Logic: Update the "If" node's conditions to reflect the logic you want to apply to the data. This determines which branch of the workflow is executed.
  6. Configure HTTP Request (False Branch): If the "If" node evaluates to false, the "HTTP Request" node will be executed. Configure this node with the URL, method, and any headers/body required for your specific API call.
  7. Activate the Workflow: Save and activate the workflow.

Now, whenever the n8n form is submitted, the workflow will execute, fetch data, apply your custom logic, and send an email or make an HTTP request based on the defined conditions.

Two-way property repair management system with Google Sheets & Drive

This workflow automates the repair request process between tenants and building managers, keeping all updates organized in a single spreadsheet. It is composed of two coordinated workflows, as two separate triggers are required — one for new repair submissions and another for repair updates. A Unique Unit ID that corresponds to individual units is attributed to each request, and timestamps are used to coordinate repair updates with specific requests. General use cases include: Property managers who manage multiple buildings or units. Building owners looking to centralize tenant repair communication. Automation builders who want to learn multi-trigger workflow design in n8n. --- ⚙️ How It Works Workflow 1 – New Repair Requests Behind the Scenes: A tenant fills out a Google Form (“Repair Request Form”), which automatically adds a new row to a linked Google Sheet. Steps: Trigger: Google Sheets rowAdded – runs when a new form entry appears. Extract & Format: Collects all relevant form data (address, unit, urgency, contacts). Generate Unit ID: Creates a standardized identifier (e.g., BUILDING-UNIT) for tracking. Email Notification: Sends the building manager a formatted email summarizing the repair details and including a link to a Repair Update Form (which activates Workflow 2). --- Workflow 2 – Repair Updates Behind the Scenes:\ Triggered when the building manager submits a follow-up form (“Repair Update Form”). Steps: Lookup by UUID: Uses the Unit ID from Workflow 1 to find the existing row in the Google Sheet. Conditional Logic: If photos are uploaded: Saves each image to a Google Drive folder, renames files consistently, and adds URLs to the sheet. If no photos: Skips the upload step and processes textual updates only. Merge & Update: Combines new data with existing repair info in the same spreadsheet row — enabling a full repair history in one place. --- 🧩 Requirements Google Account (for Forms, Sheets, and Drive) Gmail/email node connected for sending notifications n8n credentials configured for Google API access --- ⚡ Setup Instructions (see more detail in workflow) Import both workflows into n8n, then copy one into a second workflow. Change manual trigger in workflow 2 to a n8n Form node. Connect Google credentials to all nodes. Update spreadsheet and folder IDs in the corresponding nodes. Customize email text, sender name, and form links for your organization. Test each workflow with a sample repair request and a repair update submission. --- 🛠️ Customization Ideas Add Slack or Telegram notifications for urgent repairs. Auto-create folders per building or unit for photo uploads. Generate monthly repair summaries using Google Sheets triggers. Add an AI node to create summaries/extract relevant repair data from repair request that include long submissions.

Ai website scraper & company intelligence

AI Website Scraper & Company Intelligence Description This workflow automates the process of transforming any website URL into a structured, intelligent company profile. It's triggered by a form, allowing a user to submit a website and choose between a "basic" or "deep" scrape. The workflow extracts key information (mission, services, contacts, SEO keywords), stores it in a structured Supabase database, and archives a full JSON backup to Google Drive. It also features a secondary AI agent that automatically finds and saves competitors for each company, building a rich, interconnected database of company intelligence. --- Quick Implementation Steps Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON file into your n8n instance. Install Custom Community Node: You must install the community node from: https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-crawl-and-scrape FIRECRAWL N8N Documentation https://docs.firecrawl.dev/developer-guides/workflow-automation/n8n Install Additional Nodes: n8n-nodes-crawl-and-scrape and n8n-nodes-mcp fire crawl mcp . Set up Credentials: Create credentials in n8n for FIRE CRAWL API,Supabase, Mistral AI, and Google Drive. Configure API Key (CRITICAL): Open the Web Search tool node. Go to Parameters → Headers and replace the hardcoded Tavily AI API key with your own. Configure Supabase Nodes: Assign your Supabase credential to all Supabase nodes. Ensure table names (e.g., companies, competitors) match your schema. Configure Google Drive Nodes: Assign your Google Drive credential to the Google Drive2 and save to Google Drive1 nodes. Select the correct Folder ID. Activate Workflow: Turn on the workflow and open the Webhook URL in the “On form submission” node to access the form. --- What It Does Form Trigger Captures user input: “Website URL” and “Scraping Type” (basic or deep). Scraping Router A Switch node routes the flow: Deep Scraping → AI-based MCP Firecrawler agent. Basic Scraping → Crawlee node. Deep Scraping (Firecrawl AI Agent) Uses Firecrawl and Tavily Web Search. Extracts a detailed JSON profile: mission, services, contacts, SEO keywords, etc. Basic Scraping (Crawlee) Uses Crawl and Scrape node to collect raw text. A Mistral-based AI extractor structures the data into JSON. Data Storage Stores structured data in Supabase tables (companies, company_basicprofiles). Archives a full JSON backup to Google Drive. Automated Competitor Analysis Runs after a deep scrape. Uses Tavily web search to find competitors (e.g., from Crunchbase). Saves competitor data to Supabase, linked by company_id. --- Who's It For Sales & Marketing Teams: Enrich leads with deep company info. Market Researchers: Build structured, searchable company databases. B2B Data Providers: Automate company intelligence collection. Developers: Use as a base for RAG or enrichment pipelines. --- Requirements n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud) Supabase Account: With tables like companies, competitors, social_links, etc. Mistral AI API Key Google Drive Credentials Tavily AI API Key (Optional) Custom Nodes: n8n-nodes-crawl-and-scrape --- How It Works Flow Summary Form Trigger: Captures “Website URL” and “Scraping Type”. Switch Node: deep → MCP Firecrawler (AI Agent). basic → Crawl and Scrape node. Scraping & Extraction: Deep path: Firecrawler → JSON structure. Basic path: Crawlee → Mistral extractor → JSON. Storage: Save JSON to Supabase. Archive in Google Drive. Competitor Analysis (Deep Only): Finds competitors via Tavily. Saves to Supabase competitors table. End: Finishes with a No Operation node. --- How To Set Up Import workflow JSON. Install community nodes (especially n8n-nodes-crawl-and-scrape from npm). Configure credentials (Supabase, Mistral AI, Google Drive). Add your Tavily API key. Connect Supabase and Drive nodes properly. Fix disconnected “basic” path if needed. Activate workflow. Test via the webhook form URL. --- How To Customize Change LLMs: Swap Mistral for OpenAI or Claude. Edit Scraper Prompts: Modify system prompts in AI agent nodes. Change Extraction Schema: Update JSON Schema in extractor nodes. Fix Relational Tables: Add Items node before Supabase inserts for arrays (social links, keywords). Enhance Automation: Add email/slack notifications, or replace form trigger with a Google Sheets trigger. --- Add-ons Automated Trigger: Run on new sheet rows. Notifications: Email or Slack alerts after completion. RAG Integration: Use the Supabase database as a chatbot knowledge source. --- Use Case Examples Sales Lead Enrichment: Instantly get company + competitor data from a URL. Market Research: Collect and compare companies in a niche. B2B Database Creation: Build a proprietary company dataset. --- WORKFLOW IMAGE --- Troubleshooting Guide | Issue | Possible Cause | Solution | |-------|----------------|-----------| | Form Trigger 404 | Workflow not active | Activate the workflow | | Web Search Tool fails | Missing Tavily API key | Replace the placeholder key | | FIRECRAWLER / find competitor fails | Missing MCP node | Install n8n-nodes-mcp | | Basic scrape does nothing | Switch node path disconnected | Reconnect “basic” output | | Supabase node error | Wrong table/column names | Match schema exactly | --- Need Help or More Workflows?
