Retail – New Product Drop Notifications
Retail – New Product Drop Notifications This workflow automatically detects when a new product is created in WooCommerce and instantly notifies internal teams through Slack and email. At the same time, it logs all product details into Google Sheets for tracking and reporting. A centralized data formatting step ensures consistent and reusable product data across all nodes. Quick Implementation Steps Import the workflow JSON into n8n. Connect WooCommerce, Slack, Gmail and Google Sheets credentials. Review the Format Product Details node for field mappings. Select the Slack channel and Google Sheet. Activate the workflow. What It Does This workflow listens for new product creation events from WooCommerce. When a product is created, the workflow extracts key product attributes such as name, price, status, permalink and images and prepares them in a single centralized configuration node. Using this standardized data, the workflow sends a real-time Slack notification to inform internal teams, sends a formatted HTML email announcing the product launch and appends the same product information into a Google Sheet for historical reference and reporting. By centralizing data preparation and reusing it across all downstream nodes, the workflow remains easy to maintain, highly readable and simple to extend for future requirements.
