1.1 Workflow description

Title
Weekly OKR alignment report with Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, and GPT-4.1
Workflow name
Weekly OKR alignment report with Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, and GPT-4.1

How it works

This workflow is your personal CEO Brain. Every Saturday night, it automatically collects the past week’s activity across:

  • 📩 Gmail: filters out spam, promos, receipts, etc.
  • 📅 Google Calendar: grabs past week and upcoming month
  • 🗒️ Notion Weekly Plan: pulls and analyzes a photo of your weekly plan (e.g., taken from a paper planner/notebook) using GPT-4o
  • 🎯 Notion OKRs: fetches quarterly OKRs and formats them for summary

It sends all the data to GPT-4.1, which generates a smart weekly report — including progress check, misalignments, overdue follow-ups, and next steps — then emails it to you as a Weekly OKR Report.


Set up steps

  • 🧠 Add your Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, and OpenAI credentials
  • 📅 The Notion Weekly Plan should have a date property and an image field that holds a photo of your planner/notebook page
  • 🎯 The Notion OKR database should include objective, key result, and status fields
  • 🔁 Schedule is preset to every Saturday at 20:30 HK time (cron 0 30 20 * * 6). Also set the workflow timezone in n8n and, if self-hosting, the server/container TZ (e.g., TZ=Asia/Hong_Kong) to ensure correct triggering
  • 💬 You can modify the AI prompts inside the LLM nodes for more customized outputs
