1.1 Workflow description

Title
Send daily executive financial briefings with Google Sheets, GPT-4o-mini, Notion and Telegram
Workflow name
Send daily executive financial briefings with Google Sheets, GPT-4o-mini, Notion and Telegram

Quick overview

This workflow runs every weekday at 7 AM to pull financial data from Google Sheets, calculate KPIs, generate an executive briefing with OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini), save the report to Notion, and send it to Telegram, with a Slack alert on any workflow error.

How it works

  1. Runs on a weekday schedule trigger at 7 AM.
  2. Fetches the latest rows from five Google Sheets tabs: CashFlow, Revenue, Payroll, Subscriptions, and Expenses.
  3. Combines the sheet data and calculates key KPIs (totals, percentage changes, cash runway, and status labels).
  4. Sends the KPI summary to OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini) to generate a Telegram-formatted executive financial briefing.
  5. Saves the AI-generated briefing to a Notion database page and sends the same briefing to a Telegram chat.
  6. Checks whether revenue is down more than 10% and, if so, sends a separate critical alert message to Telegram.
  7. If any node fails during execution, posts an error alert to a Slack channel.

Setup

  1. Add Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials and replace the placeholder spreadsheet ID and sheet selections in all five Google Sheets nodes.
  2. Add an OpenAI API credential for the GPT-4o-mini model used by the AI agent.
  3. Add Notion credentials and set your Notion database ID where the CFO report pages are created.
  4. Add Telegram bot credentials and set the target chat ID for both Telegram messages.
  5. Add Slack OAuth2 credentials and choose the channel that should receive workflow error alerts.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/16459/16459.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.
