1.1 Workflow description

Title
Send end-of-day ops summaries with Google Sheets, Gemini, Slack and Gmail
Workflow name
Send end-of-day ops summaries with Google Sheets, Gemini, Slack and Gmail

Quick Overview

This workflow runs daily at 6 PM to pull trade breaks, failed trades, and exceptions from Google Sheets, calculate resolved vs pending counts with a severity/trend classification, generate an end-of-day summary with Google Gemini, optionally alert Slack for high pending volume, email the report via Gmail, and log results back to Google Sheets.

How it works

  1. Runs every day at 6 PM on a schedule trigger.
  2. Reads rows from three Google Sheets tabs containing trade breaks, failed trades, and exceptions, then merges them into a single dataset.
  3. Filters to records with a non-empty Status field and calculates total issues plus resolved vs pending counts.
  4. Classifies overall severity (LOW–CRITICAL) and trend (IMPROVING/WORSENING/STABLE) based on pending and resolved counts.
  5. Sends the metrics to Google Gemini to generate a formatted Summary and Email body.
  6. Posts a high-priority Slack alert when pending issues exceed 5, and then extracts the generated email body.
  7. Sends the end-of-day summary via Gmail and appends the date, counts, severity, trend, and summary to a Google Sheets log tab.

Setup

  1. Connect a Google Sheets OAuth2 account and update the spreadsheet ID and sheet/tab IDs for the three input tabs and the output log tab.
  2. Ensure each source sheet includes a Status column with values such as “resolved” so the workflow can compute resolved vs pending.
  3. Add a Google Gemini (PaLM) API credential for the AI-generated summary and email text.
  4. Add a Slack OAuth2 credential and select the destination channel for high-priority alerts.
  5. Add a Gmail OAuth2 credential and set the recipient(s) in the Gmail node so the end-of-day email goes to the right inbox.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/16433/16433.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.
