1.1 Workflow description

Title
Review and approve Google Sheets orders by email and notify via LINE
Workflow name
Review and approve Google Sheets orders by email and notify via LINE

Automatically processes new orders added to Google Sheets. Small orders are approved instantly; large orders trigger an HTML email with one-click Approve / Reject links — each handled by an independent webhook, so multiple orders can be reviewed simultaneously without blocking each other.

What makes this different Unlike Wait-node designs that block when multiple orders queue up, this workflow uses a stateless token pattern: each order gets a unique token written back to the sheet. Approval links carry the token; the handler validates it on every click — safe, idempotent, and fully concurrent.

Key features

  • Google Sheets Trigger polls for new rows automatically — no external caller needed
  • Configurable approval threshold (default: 500)
  • Duplicate-processing guard: skips rows that already have a status
  • One-click Approve / Reject email with styled HTML buttons
  • Token validation: tampered or expired links return a 403 error page
  • Already-processed guard: clicking the same link twice shows a friendly message
  • LINE push notification for every outcome (auto-approved, approved, rejected)
  • All results written back to Google Sheets with a reviewedAt timestamp

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/13712/13712.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.
