How to connect Webhook and Gmail

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Store new orders to Airtable and summarize daily orders through email

What this template does This workflow will collect order data as it is produced, then send a summary email of all orders at the end of every day, formatted in a table. It receives new orders via webhook and stores in Airtable. At 7PM every day, it sends a summary email with the day's orders in a HTML table Setup: Instructions Video Create a new table in Airtable and give it a field time with type date, orderID with type number, and orderPrice also with type number. Create a new access token if you haven't already at https://airtable.com/create/tokens/new. Make sure to give the token the scopes data.records:read, data.records:write, schema.bases:read and access to whichever table you choose to store the orders. A pop-up window appears with the token. Use this token to make Create New Credential > Access Token for Airtable in the Store Order and Airtable Get Today's Orders nodes. Create access credentials for your Gmail as described here: https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-credentials. Use the credentials from your client_secret.json in the Send to Gmail node. In the Store Order node, change Base and Table to the database and table in your Airtable account you wish to use to store orders. Make sure to use these same values in the Airtable Get Today's Orders node. Every time an order is created in your system, send a POST request to Webhook from your order software. Each request must contain a single order containing fields 'orderID' and 'orderPrice' (or, edit Set Order Fields to select which incoming fields you wish to save) Change the schedule time for sending email from Everyday at 7PM to whichever time you choose. Test: Activate the workflow. From the node Webhook, copy Production URL Send the following CURL request to the URL given to you: curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"orderID": 12345, "orderPrice": 99.99}' YOUR_URL_HERE It should say Node executed successfully. Now check your Airtable and confirm the order was stored in the right place.

Automate Your RFP Process with OpenAI Assistants

This n8n workflow demonstrates how to automate oftern time-consuming form filling tasks in the early stages of the tendering process; the Request for Proposal document or "RFP". It does this by utilising a company's knowledgebase to generating question-and-answer pairs using Large Language Models. How it works A buyer's RFP is submitted to the workflow as a digital document that can be parsed. Our first AI agent scans and extracts all questions from the document into list form. The supplier sets up an OpenAI assistant prior loaded with company brand, marketing and technical documents. The workflow loops through each of the buyer's questions and poses these to the OpenAI assistant. The assistant's answers are captured until all questions are satisified and are then exported into a new document for review. A sales team member is then able to use this document to respond quickly to the RFP before their competitors. Example Webhook Request curl --location 'https://<n8n_webhook_url>' \ --form 'id="RFP001"' \ --form 'title="BlueChip Travel and StarBus Web Services"' \ --form 'reply_to="[email protected]"' \ --form 'data=@"k9pnbALxX/RFP Questionnaire.pdf"' Requirements An OpenAI account to use AI services. Customising the workflow OpenAI assistants is only one approach to hosting a company knowledgebase for AI to use. Exploring different solutions such as building your own RAG-powered database can sometimes yield better results in terms of control of how the data is managed and cost.

TwentyCRM event based updates on selective messaging channels with logs

Who is this template for? This workflow template is designed for DevOps, Engineering, and Managed Service Provider professionals seeking alerts on various channels, with each channel being logically chosen based on the severity of the event. How it works Each time a new event occurs, the workflow runs (powered by TwentyCRM's native Webhooks feature). After filtering for the required data from the webhook, the filtered data is logged using Google Sheets. Based on the eventType from the webhook, we conditionally select a predefined messaging channel and send updates or alerts through it. Set up instructions Complete the Set up credentials step when you first open the workflow. You'll need a Google-OAuth2.0 with Gmail API & Google Sheets Scope, Slack with OAuth2.0 - chat:write scopes. Set up the Webhook in TwentyCRM, linking the On new TwentyCRM event Trigger with your TwentyCRM App. Set the correct channel to send to in the Post message in channel step. After testing your workflow, swap the Test URL to Production URL in TwentyCRM and activate your workflow. Template was created in n8n v1.63.4.
