1.1 Workflow description

Title: Send weekly personalized pet health tips with GPT-4o-mini, Gmail and Google Sheets
Workflow name: Send weekly personalized pet health tips with GPT-4o-mini, Gmail and Google Sheets

Send personalized pet care tips from Google Sheets with AI

Automate weekly pet wellness emails with AI-generated, location and age-specific advice.

Who's it for

Pet care businesses, veterinary clinics, pet subscription services, and animal shelters sending regular wellness content to pet owners.

How it works

Loads pets data from Google Sheets
Filters pets who haven't received email in 7+ days
Calculates age from birthdate (formats as "2 years and 3 months")
AI generates tip - GPT-4o-mini creates climate-aware, veterinary-aligned advice based on pet type, age, and location
Sends email via Gmail or SendGrid
Updates timestamp in sheet to prevent duplicates
Logs activity to tracking sheet

Requirements

APIs:

Google Sheets, Airtable, Typeform or similar
OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini)
Gmail OAuth2 OR SendGrid, you can use Brevo, Mailchimp or any other.

Google Sheet Structure:

Sheet 1: Pets

Email	Owner_Name	Pet_Name	Pet_Type	Date_of_Birth	Country (ISO)	Status	Last_Email_Sent

Sheet 2: Email_Log

Timestamp	Parent_Email	Pet_Name	Tip_Category	Status

How to set up

Create Google Sheet with structure above, add 2-3 test pets.
Import workflow and add credentials.
Update nodes:
- "Load Pet Info": Set your Sheet ID
- "Update Last_Email_Sent Date": Set Sheet ID
- "Log to Email_Log Sheet": Set Sheet ID
Test manually with 1 active pet
Enable schedule (default: Mondays 9am)

How to customize

Switch email provider:

Enable "Send via SendGrid" node
Disable "Send Health Tip using Gmail" node
Update template ID

Modify AI prompt:

Edit "Generate Personalized Tip" node
Adjust temperature
Add/remove categories

Use cases beyond pets

Same workflow works for:

Plant care (growth stage tips)
Baby milestones (age-based parenting advice)
Fitness coaching (experience level workouts)
Language learning (study streak motivation)

Just update sheet columns and AI prompt.

Notes

Choose only one mailing service.
Country codes use ISO format (US, UK, AU, CA, etc.)
AI considers location for seasonal advice.

Promote YouTube uploads to social channels with DeepSeek and Posta

## Quick overview This workflow fetches the latest video from a YouTube channel feed, generates platform-specific promo captions with DeepSeek, and creates draft promotion posts in Posta for active social media accounts. You can automatically promote your videos to all your social media. Add a "publish" at the end for auto-post. ## How it works 1. Runs manually when you click “Execute workflow”. 2. Fetches your YouTube channel RSS feed over HTTP, parses the XML, and extracts the latest video’s title, description, thumbnail URL, and link. 3. Downloads the video thumbnail and uploads it to Posta to create a reusable media asset. 4. Retrieves your social accounts from Posta, keeps only active accounts, and de-duplicates them to one account per platform. 5. Combines the latest video data with each target platform and asks DeepSeek (via an n8n LangChain LLM chain) to write a tailored promotional caption per platform. 6. Tags each generated caption with its platform and merges it back to the matching Posta social account. 7. Creates a draft Posta post per selected account, attaching the uploaded thumbnail and the platform-specific caption and video link. 8. (Optional) Add a "publish a post" at the end to automatically post to the social media channels (If you are feeling brave and trust the LLM), ## Setup 1. Add a Posta API credential and select it in the Posta nodes that list accounts, upload media, and create posts. 2. Add a DeepSeek API credential and select it in the DeepSeek Chat Model node. 3. Update the YouTube channel feed URL (channel_id) in the HTTP request that downloads the YouTube feed. 4. Review your Posta social accounts to ensure the intended accounts are marked active and have the correct platform values for de-duplication. ## Additional info Video explanation: https://youtu.be/tTWaYb71YyA

Post scheduled Threads updates from Google Sheets with error tracking

## Quick overview This workflow runs hourly to read the next pending post from Google Sheets, publishes it to Threads via the Threads Graph API, and then updates the sheet with published or failed status plus timestamps and error details. ## How it works 1. Runs every hour on a schedule. 2. Reads the first row in Google Sheets where the status column equals pending. 3. Retrieves the authenticated Threads account’s user ID from the Threads Graph API. 4. Creates a Threads text post container using the content from the pending Google Sheets row. 5. Publishes the post to Threads and updates the same Google Sheets row as published with posted_at and updated_at timestamps. 6. If any Threads API call fails, records the error message and marks the corresponding Google Sheets row as failed with an updated_at timestamp. ## Setup 1. Create a Meta app and generate a Threads access token, then add it to an HTTP Header Auth credential used for the Threads Graph API requests. 2. Set up a Google Sheets Service Account credential in n8n and share your target spreadsheet with the service account email. 3. Replace the placeholder Google Sheet ID in all Google Sheets nodes and confirm the sheet name is Sheet1 (or update it to match your sheet). 4. Ensure your sheet has the required columns (row_number, content, status, posted_at, updated_at, error_message) and set status to pending for posts you want published.

Send a daily product newsletter with Google Sheets and Gmail

## Quick Overview This workflow runs daily at 08:00, pulls products scheduled for today from Google Sheets, generates an HTML newsletter email, and sends it to each subscriber via Gmail. ## How it works 1. Runs every day at 08:00 on a schedule. 2. Reads all rows from the `newsletter_products` sheet in Google Sheets. 3. Keeps only products whose `send_date` matches today’s date and stops if none are found. 4. Builds an HTML email and subject line containing a card for each product (image, description, and optional referral link). 5. Reads the subscriber list from the `newsletter_recipients` sheet in Google Sheets. 6. Sends the generated newsletter to each recipient individually using Gmail. ## Setup 1. Create or copy a Google Sheets document with `newsletter_products` (including a `send_date` column) and `newsletter_recipients` (including an `email` column). 2. Add a Google Sheets OAuth2 credential in n8n and paste your Google Sheet ID into the Config step. 3. Add a Gmail OAuth2 credential and confirm the sender mailbox to use for sending the newsletter. 4. Add products and recipients to the sheet, run a test execution, and adjust the schedule/timezone if needed before activating.
