About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the process of monitoring your Google Sheets for new information and relaying it to your team via Mattermost. It efficiently polls your specified Google Sheet at regular intervals, intelligently identifies new data entries, and then sends a concise notification containing the key details (ID, Name, Email) directly to your Mattermost channel. This eliminates manual checks and ensures that crucial updates are immediately visible to the relevant team members, fostering better collaboration and faster decision-making. The workflow is designed to be robust, only alerting on genuinely new data since the last check, preventing redundant notifications and keeping your team focused on what matters.
Key Features
- Real-time Google Sheet Monitoring: Automatically scans your Google Sheet for new entries.
- Intelligent New Data Detection: Only triggers notifications for fresh information, avoiding duplicates.
- Instant Mattermost Alerts: Delivers immediate notifications to your chosen Mattermost channel.
- Customizable Notification Content: Easily configure the message to include specific data fields from your sheet.
- Scheduled Automation: Runs automatically at a set interval (e.g., every 45 minutes).
How To Use
- Execute every 45 mins (Interval Node): Configure this node to set the frequency at which your Google Sheet will be checked (e.g., set to 45 minutes).
- Read data (Google Sheets Node): Connect your Google account via OAuth2. Specify the
sheetIdof the Google Sheet you want to monitor. This node will fetch data from the sheet. - Check if new data (Function Node): This node contains custom JavaScript code. It compares the current data fetched from the Google Sheet with previously processed data (stored with the workflow). If new entries are found, it prepares them for the next step.
- Send message (Mattermost Node): Configure your Mattermost credentials. Customize the
messageparameter using placeholders like{{$json["id"]}},{{$json["name"]}}, and{{$json["email"]}}to display relevant information from the new Google Sheet entries in your Mattermost channel.
