1.1 Workflow description

Title
Automated Reddit lead generation with AI analysis and Google Sheets
Workflow name
Automated Reddit lead generation with AI analysis and Google Sheets

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.

How It Works

This n8n workflow automatically discovers high-quality business leads from Reddit posts by analysing posts across targeted subreddits.

  1. Loads your business profile from a connected Google Sheet.
  2. Uses AI to identify relevant subreddits where your potential customers engage.
  3. Generates intent-based Reddit search queries based on your services, keywords, and client pain points.
  4. Searches Reddit in real time using the generated queries.
  5. Classifies posts based on whether they show lead potential.
  6. Analyses high-potential posts for service-fit, urgency, and estimated value.
  7. Filters and scores leads to prioritize high-conversion opportunities.
  8. Saves the most promising leads to a dedicated Google Sheet.
  9. Sends Slack alerts to notify your sales team for immediate follow-up.

Requirements

Before using this workflow, ensure the following services are connected and configured:

  1. Google Sheets (OAuth2): Reads your business profile and writes qualified leads
  2. Reddit (OAuth2) Perform Reddit post searches based on generated queries
  3. Google Gemini API Analyse posts, generate queries, and extract insights
  4. Slack API : Notify your team with qualified lead summaries

Google Sheets Setup

You will need two Google Sheets:

  1. Business Profile Sheet (Input) This sheet contains a single row describing your service business. The workflow reads this to generate relevant subreddit selections and search queries.

Required Fields (as headers in row 1):

  • profession

  • industry

  • primary_services

  • service_keywords

  • target_client_profile

  • pain_points

  • intent_signals

  • urgency_indicators

  • price_range

  1. Reddit Leads Sheet (Output) This sheet stores high-quality Reddit posts identified as potential leads. The workflow appends or updates rows based on post_id to avoid duplication.

Expected Columns:

  • post_id

  • post_url

  • post_title

  • post_post

  • post_subreddit

  • post_date

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/6337/6337.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
