Streamline your daily operations by automatically fetching and summarizing customer orders from Airtable, then delivering a concise report via email. This workflow ensures you stay informed about your sales performance without manual intervention.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the process of collecting and reporting on daily customer orders. It kicks off every evening at 7 PM, retrieves all orders placed within the last 24 hours from your Airtable base, and then formats this data into a clean HTML table. Finally, the generated summary is sent directly to your inbox via Gmail, providing a clear and actionable overview of your day's sales. This eliminates the need for manual data compilation and reporting, saving valuable time and reducing the risk of errors.
Key Features

- Dynamic Data Filtering: Fetches only orders from the previous day, keeping your reports focused.
