This is plumbing, not judgement ## Questions What does it need to run? An n8n account, plus your own Google Sheets account. You connect your own accounts after importing it; none are included. What starts it? It starts on someone submitting a form. Does it use AI? No. Every step is fixed logic or a call to a service, so it does the same thing every time. How long does it take to set up? Take your time. At 31 steps it is large: read it before trusting it with anything live. How do I import it? Copy the workflow, open a new workflow in n8n and paste. The steps appear on the canvas, ready for your own accounts. **Before you run it** Nothing here has been tested by us. It is somebody's working automation, read and described from its own steps. Treat the connections it wants as a list of accounts it will touch, and read the 31 steps before you point it at anything that matters. ## Run it in n8n - **Create your n8n account** Free to start. n8n is where the workflow runs.
