3 production-ready n8n workflow templates (free first one inside)

I've been building n8n automations for a while and kept rebuilding the same core workflows from scratch. So I documented three of the most universally useful ones end-to-end — proper error handling, validation, real-world edge cases covered.

Sharing the first one free here.

Workflow 1 (free): Lead Capture → Google Sheets CRM → Welcome Email

  • Receives a lead from any webhook source (Typeform, Tally, plain HTML form)
  • Validates + normalises the email
  • Appends a row to Google Sheets as a lightweight CRM
  • Sends a personalised welcome email via Gmail
  • Handles duplicates, logs errors to a separate sheet
  • Zero paid nodes — runs on n8n built-ins only

Drop a comment and I'll share the JSON. Import it, configure your Google Sheets and Gmail credentials, and it should be running in under 10 minutes.


What's in the full Starter Pack ($29)

Workflow 2: Stripe Payment → Fulfillment → Receipt Email — Stripe webhook → order record → fulfillment → branded receipt via Resend.

Workflow 3: Form Submission → Google Sheets + Slack Alert — Any form webhook → validated Sheets append → Slack DM. Good for internal ops and waitlists.

Each includes clean JSON, a setup guide, and a test checklist.

$29 one-time. No subscription.
