Daily CSV Reconciliation & Slack Summary via Google Drive Automation

Streamline Your Data Management with Daily CSV Reconciliation & Slack Summary via Google Drive Automation

Transform your data processing routine with the Daily CSV Reconciliation & Slack Summary automation. Designed for efficiency, this n8n workflow seamlessly consolidates and cleans your CSV files daily, eliminates duplicates, and keeps your team informed through Slack recaps. Say goodbye to manual data reconciliation and hello to streamlined operations.

What this workflow does:

• Automatically executed every day at 06:00, the workflow searches your Google Drive folder for all CSV files awaiting processing.
• It intelligently downloads files, disregarding any already reconciled with the "reconciled-" prefix in their names.
• Each CSV is meticulously parsed row-by-row, while files that cannot be parsed are logged for your awareness.
• Data validation kicks in, where rows are checked for essential columns and correct data types. Deduplication is then performed using `order_id`, ensuring clean data by quarantining duplicates and invalid entries into a rejects CSV.
• Upon processing valid data, a dated master CSV is created and securely uploaded back to your specified Google Drive directory.
• Any invalid or duplicate rows are bundled into a separate dated reject CSV, keeping your data organization transparent.
• A comprehensive summary report is posted to your designated Slack channel, highlighting key statistics such as files read, rows processed, and issues encountered.

• SaaS Operations: Ensure consistently reconciled data across multiple datasets for improved reporting and analytics.
