Intro
Intro This template is for teams, individuals, or businesses who want to automatically send daily email reminders (e.g., updates, status alerts, follow‑ups) using n8n + Gmail. How it works Cron Trigger fires every day at your specified time. Google Sheets node reads all rows from your sheet. If node filters rows matching your condition (e.g., Status = "Pending"). Send a message (Gmail) sends a customized email to each filtered row. Required Google Sheet Structure | Column Name | Type | Example | Notes | |-------------|--------|--------------------------|------------------------------------| | Email | string | user@example.com | Recipient email address | | Status | string | Pending | Filter criterion | | Subject | string | Daily Status Update | Email subject (supports variables) | | Body | string | “Please update your task”| Email body (text or HTML) | Detailed Setup Steps Google Sheets Build your sheet with the columns above. In n8n → Credentials, add Google Sheets API (avoid sensitive names). Gmail In n8n → Credentials → Gmail (OAuth2 or SMTP), connect your account. Do not include your real email in the credential name. Import & Configure Export the workflow JSON (three‑dot menu → Export). Paste it under Template Code in the Creator form. In each node, select your Google Sheets and Gmail credentials. Sticky Notes On the If node: “Defines which rows to email.” On the Gmail node: “Sends the email.” Customization Guidance Adjust schedule: change the Cron expression in **Cron Trigger. Modify filter: edit the condition in the **If node. Customize email**: use expressions like {{$node["Get row(s) in sheet"].json["Subject"]}}. Troubleshooting Verify the Google Sheet is shared with the connected service account. Check your Cron timezone and expression. Ensure Gmail credentials are valid and not rate‑limited. Security & Best Practices Remove** any real email addresses and sheet IDs. Use** n8n Credentials or environment variables—never hard‑code secrets. Add** sticky notes for any complex logic.
