Questions
What does it need to run?
An n8n account, plus your own Gmail, Google Drive, Google Sheets and Slack accounts. You connect your own accounts after importing it; none are included.
What starts it?
Nothing starts it automatically. You run it by hand.
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?
Not long. At 8 steps it can be read in one sitting and changed without fear.
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.
