Automate Daily Newsletters with Google Sheets & Gmail

Automate Daily Newsletters with Google Sheets & Gmail

Transform the way you engage with your audience by automating daily newsletters using Google Sheets and Gmail with this powerful n8n workflow. Designed to streamline and personalize your communication, this workflow handles everything from compiling your newsletter content to tracking recipient interactions.

What this workflow does

• Every day at 08:00 (Europe/Berlin), the workflow kicks off automatically, ensuring your newsletters are always timely.
• It reads scheduled product entries from the `newsletter_products` tab in your Google Sheets, filtering only those products set to be sent today.
• The day's curated product list is then added to the `newsletter_contents` tab, where the base HTML email content and subject line—with tracking placeholders—are generated.
• The workflow then refines the recipient list by pulling emails from the `newsletter_recipients` tab and removing any that appear in the `newsletter_unsubscribed` tab.
• Dynamic personalization is applied to each email, tailoring the HTML content with recipient-specific details and unique identifiers for tracking purposes.
• Finally, personalized newsletters are dispatched to each recipient using Gmail, and details of each send are logged in the `newsletter_tracking` tab for comprehensive tracking.
