1.1 Workflow description

Title
Generate a weekly business health report from Google Sheets with Claude
Workflow name
Generate a weekly business health report from Google Sheets with Claude

Overview

Stop spending Monday mornings manually pulling numbers and building reports. This workflow reads your last 7 days of business data from Google Sheets, asks Claude AI to compare it to the week before, spot trends, flag problems and highlight wins — then emails a plain-English health report to your inbox before your team standup.

How it works

  • Fires every Monday at 7AM automatically
  • Pulls this week's and last week's data from your Google Sheet
  • Formats both datasets into a clean comparison table
  • Claude AI analyses the numbers and writes a structured health report covering wins, concerns, and top 3 actions
  • Report is emailed to your team via Gmail
  • Every run is logged to a second sheet tab for historical tracking

Setup steps

  1. Google Sheets — Connect your Google account in Fetch This Week Data and Fetch Last Week Data nodes and select your data sheet. Each row should be one day, columns should be your key metrics
  2. Configure node — Open Configure Report Settings and set your business name, report email, and a plain-English description of what your columns mean
  3. Claude AI — Add your Anthropic API key to the Claude Sonnet sub-node from console.anthropic.com
  4. Gmail — Connect your Gmail account in Send Weekly Report
  5. Log sheet — Create a second tab called Report Log with columns: Date, Week Covered, Business, Status, Summary. Connect it in Log Report Run
  6. Activate — runs automatically every Monday at 7AM

  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.
