💡 This is a living library, not a one-time list. Every template here is pulled from a full, in-depth guide on this site — the same guide covers the setup, the common errors, and the exact JSON you can import. New templates get added as their guides go live, so this page is worth bookmarking rather than reading once.
This library currently includes 4 fully published templates, with 6 more in active development. Every template is a free, tested n8n workflow JSON file — copy it, import it, replace a few credential IDs, and it runs.
Jump straight to a category below, or read "How to Import Any Template" if this is your first time using one.

AI Automation Templates
| Template | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| AI Lead Classifier | Reads rows from Google Sheets, scores each one with AI, writes the result back — without losing data through the AI call. | Live |
| Version-Proof LinkedIn Poster | Posts to LinkedIn via HTTP Request instead of the native node, so it survives LinkedIn's periodic API version retirements. | Live |
| AI Support Ticket Triage | Reads incoming support emails, classifies urgency and category with AI, and routes them to the right Slack channel or Sheet. | Coming Soon |
| AI Content Repurposer | Takes one blog post and generates a LinkedIn post, a short-form thread, and an email newsletter blurb from it automatically. | Coming Soon |
Small Business Templates
| Template | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Zero-Budget Lead Pipeline | Captures leads from a webhook, stores them in Sheets without duplicates, scores them with AI, and alerts your team on hot leads. | Live |
| Invoice Reminder Automation | Tracks invoices in a Sheet and automatically emails clients when a payment is overdue. | Live |
| Booking Reminder System | Sends an automatic reminder email or SMS before a scheduled appointment, pulled from a booking Sheet or Calendar. | Coming Soon |
| Review Request After Payment | The moment an invoice's status flips to "Paid," automatically sends a review request email a few days later. | Coming Soon |
Monitoring & Utility Templates
| Template | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Competitor News Digest | Monitors a competitor's blog or news feed, summarizes new posts with AI, and emails you a daily digest. | Coming Soon |
| Website Uptime Checker | Pings your site on a schedule and alerts you immediately if it goes down — builds directly on this site's Check URL Node guide. | Live |
Not sure how the Check URL node works yet? The Check URL Node guide on this site covers the underlying node this template is built on, including its most common execution timeout error.
How to Import Any Template
Every template on this page follows the same import process, so this only needs explaining once.
Copy the JSON
Open the template's full guide (linked in the tables above) and use the Copy or Download button on the workflow JSON block.
Create a new workflow in n8n
In your n8n instance, click + Add Workflow, then paste the copied JSON directly onto the empty canvas — n8n will automatically build all the nodes and connections for you.
Replace the placeholder values
Every template uses placeholder values like YOUR_SHEET_ID or YOUR_CREDENTIAL_ID. Each guide lists exactly which ones to replace and where to find them.
Test with one manual run before activating
Run the workflow once manually and check the output at each node. Only switch it to active/scheduled once you've confirmed a full test run works end to end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Every template is a free JSON file you can download or copy directly from its guide. n8n itself is free and open-source, and each template's guide notes which parts (if any) require a paid API like OpenAI.
No coding is required to import and run a template. Some include a small Code node with pre-written JavaScript, but you only need to edit configuration values like credential IDs and sheet names, not write new code.
Copy the JSON from the template's guide, open n8n, create a new workflow, and paste the JSON directly onto the canvas, or use the Import from File option. See the "How to Import Any Template" section on this page.
Yes, every template is meant as a starting point. Each guide explains what each node does, so you can add, remove, or reconfigure steps to match your exact workflow.
This library is published as a living page and updated as each new template guide goes live, rather than delaying the entire library until every template is finished. Check back, or watch this page's Last Updated date.
If you're new to n8n, start with the Google Sheets AI Lead Classifier — it covers the most commonly reused patterns (deduplication, AI field preservation) that show up across every other template on this page.
