This n8n workflow automates outbound phone calls to new leads using VAPI, with built-in timezone detection to ensure you're only calling during business hours. Use cases include appointment setting, lead qualification, follow-up surveys, payment reminders, and sales outreach—anywhere you need to scale phone conversations without scaling headcount. Good to know You'll need a VAPI phone number and configured voice agent before using this workflow. VAPI offers $10 free credit when you sign up (~70 minutes of calls). Create your account here. The timezone logic covers common country codes (UK, US, EU, Australia, India, UAE, Singapore, Japan). You can extend this in the Code node. How it works A new row in Google Sheets triggers the workflow (you can swap this for a webhook, form, or CRM trigger). The phone number is sanitised—stripping spaces, dashes, and brackets so it's in the correct format for dialling. The lead's timezone is determined from their country code, and the workflow checks whether it's between 8am-5pm local time. If not, it waits and retries. VAPI places the outbound call using your configured voice agent.

See all Google Sheets→Monitor negative customer reviews with an HTTP API, Google Sheets and Slack
Quick Overview This workflow polls your review API every 6 hours, filters for reviews rated 3 stars or lower, and posts an alert to a Slack channel for each negative review. How it works Runs every 6 hours on a schedule. Fetches the latest reviews from a configured HTTP endpoint. Filters the returned items to keep only reviews with a rating of 3 or below. Checks whether any negative reviews were found and stops if none exist. Posts each negative review to a selected Slack channel with the rating, author, and review text. Setup Provide a reviews API endpoint (and any required authentication) in the HTTP Request node. Connect Slack using an OAuth2 credential. Select the target Slack channel and adjust the rating threshold in the filter logic if you want a stricter or looser definition of “negative”.
Enrich Google Maps business leads with Apify and Google Sheets
Quick overview This workflow runs on demand to scrape Google Maps business leads with Apify, optionally fetches each business website to extract an email address, and appends the enriched lead data to a Google Sheets spreadsheet. How it works Starts manually and loads the Apify API key, Google Maps search query, max results, and target Google Sheets spreadsheet ID. Launches the Apify Google Places scraper run for the provided search query and stores the returned run ID and dataset ID. Polls Apify until the actor run status is SUCCEEDED, waiting and retrying until results are ready. Downloads the scraped business items from the Apify dataset and processes them one business at a time. If a business has a website, requests the site HTML and extracts the first valid email address found; otherwise it keeps the email blank. Appends each enriched lead (name, email, phone, rating, address, review count, and website) as a new row in Google Sheets. Setup Add your Apify API token and replace the placeholder value in the configuration step. Connect Google Sheets credentials in n8n and set the target spreadsheet ID (and sheet name if not Sheet1). Update the Google Maps search query and max resu
Log Strava zone 2 and 5K test runs to Google Sheets
Quick overview This scheduled workflow pulls your latest running activities from Strava, classifies them as Zone 2 runs or 5K tests based on pace and distance, and writes the formatted results into specific cells in a Google Sheets training log while tracking processed activity IDs. How it works Runs on a daily schedule. Fetches recent activities from the Strava API for the authenticated athlete. Processes each activity to calculate pace (min/km) and routes it into “Zone 2” or “Test Run” based on sport type, duration, pace, and distance rules. Formats the selected activities into sheet-ready fields (date, pace string, moving time, and distance) and labels them as ZONA 2 or TEST 5KM. Reads the target Google Sheets range to find the next available slots and checks an “IDs Registrados” list to avoid reprocessing activities. Updates Google Sheets with the activity details in the appropriate cycle columns and appends new Strava activity IDs to the “IDs Registrados” cell. Setup Connect your Strava OAuth2 credentials and ensure the athlete has permission to read activities. Connect your Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials and update the spreadsheet URL/ID and sheet (tab) selection used for r
