Personalized Gemini Onboarding Email Drip (Gmail) in n8n

Turn new form signups into a 5-day, personalized Gmail onboarding sequence—automatically

This Personalized Gemini Onboarding Email Drip (Gmail) in n8n captures signups from an n8n Form, logs them to Google Sheets, and uses Google Gemini to generate and send a 3-part welcome email drip through Gmail over five days.

What this workflow does

• Receives new signup submissions from an n8n Form trigger including the user’s name, email, role, and goal.
• Enriches and stores signup data by adding product and sender context, then appends each signup to a “Signups” sheet in Google Sheets.
• Sends Email #1 immediately: uses Google Gemini to draft a short, personalized welcome email and delivers it via Gmail.
• Sends Email #2 after 2 days: waits 2 days, prompts Gemini to write tips-focused onboarding content, and sends it via Gmail.
• Sends Email #3 after 3 more days: waits 3 additional days, generates a final check-in email that invites a reply, then sends via Gmail.

Use cases

• SaaS onboarding: convert signups into an engagement-ready onboarding sequence that scales with volume.
• Product-led growth: tailor email copy using signup role and goal, while keeping your messaging consistent.
• Automation engineers & n8n users: deploy a practical onboarding workflow with real integrations (Form, Sheets, Gmail, Gemini).
