1.1 Workflow description

Title
Validate startup ideas with Google Gemini, Groq, and Gmail
Workflow name
Validate startup ideas with Google Gemini, Groq, and Gmail

Quick overview

This workflow collects a startup idea via an n8n form, uses Google Gemini to generate a SWOT-style analysis, assigns a viability score, uses Groq to turn the results into a structured validation report, and emails the final report through Gmail.

How it works

  1. Receives a startup idea, industry, and target audience from an n8n Form trigger.
  2. Sends the submission to Google Gemini to generate a professional analysis covering the problem, business model, and SWOT factors.
  3. Generates a startup viability score (currently a random value from 80–100) and packages it with the Gemini analysis.
  4. Sends the score and analysis to Groq (Llama 3.3 70B) to compile a full validation report with an executive summary, market potential, recommendations, and final verdict.
  5. Emails the generated validation report to the configured recipient using Gmail.

Setup

  1. Add credentials for Google Gemini (PaLM) API, Groq API, and a Gmail OAuth2 connection.
  2. Replace the placeholder recipient address in the Gmail step ("[email protected]") with your target email address before activating the workflow.
  3. Publish the n8n form, then share the form URL with the users who should submit their startup ideas for validation.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/16513/16513.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.
