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.

WMonitor negative customer reviews with an HTTP API, Google Sheets and Slack
Quick Overview This workflow polls your review API every 6 hours, filters for reviews rated 3 stars or lower, and posts an alert to a Slack channel for each negative review. How it works Runs every 6 hours on a schedule. Fetches the latest reviews from a configured HTTP endpoint. Filters the returned items to keep only reviews with a rating of 3 or below. Checks whether any negative reviews were found and stops if none exist. Posts each negative review to a selected Slack channel with the rating, author, and review text. Setup Provide a reviews API endpoint (and any required authentication) in the HTTP Request node. Connect Slack using an OAuth2 credential. Select the target Slack channel and adjust the rating threshold in the filter logic if you want a stricter or looser definition of “negative”.
WEnrich Google Maps business leads with Apify and Google Sheets
Quick overview This workflow runs on demand to scrape Google Maps business leads with Apify, optionally fetches each business website to extract an email address, and appends the enriched lead data to a Google Sheets spreadsheet. How it works Starts manually and loads the Apify API key, Google Maps search query, max results, and target Google Sheets spreadsheet ID. Launches the Apify Google Places scraper run for the provided search query and stores the returned run ID and dataset ID. Polls Apify until the actor run status is SUCCEEDED, waiting and retrying until results are ready. Downloads the scraped business items from the Apify dataset and processes them one business at a time. If a business has a website, requests the site HTML and extracts the first valid email address found; otherwise it keeps the email blank. Appends each enriched lead (name, email, phone, rating, address, review count, and website) as a new row in Google Sheets. Setup Add your Apify API token and replace the placeholder value in the configuration step. Connect Google Sheets credentials in n8n and set the target spreadsheet ID (and sheet name if not Sheet1).
