Automate payment tracking with Google Sheets, ClickUp, Gmail and Slack

Description This workflow automates the tracking and follow-up process for pending payments. It pulls lead payment data from Google Sheets, checks whether the status is “Open,” and then routes actions accordingly. For open payment cases, it creates a dedicated ClickUp task and sends an email confirmation to stakeholders. For non-open cases, it notifies the team via Slack. This ensures payment verifications are never missed, while keeping all updates transparent and centralized. What This Template Does (Step-by-Step) - 📊 Fetch Lead Data from Google Sheets - Retrieves lead records including: - Lead Name - Company Name - Payment Verification Status - Status (Open/Closed) - ⚖️ Check if Status = Open - ✅ TRUE (Open): Creates a ClickUp task and sends an email confirmation. - ❌ FALSE (Not Open): Sends a Slack notification only. - 🗂 Create ClickUp Task for Payment Verification: Adds a task with lead and company details for pending payment follow-up in the specified list. - ✉️ Send Email Confirmation: Notifies the assigned watcher (via Gmail) with task details (name, ID, and link). - 💬 Send Slack Notification: Alerts the Slack workspace if a lead’s status is not “Open,” providing visibility on non-actionable cases. Prerequisites - Google Sheet with lead/payment data - ClickUp account & API credentials - Gmail API credentials - Slack API credentials - n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) Step-by-Step Setup - Connect Google Sheets → Fetch payment verification data. - Apply Status Filter (If Node) → Route based on “Open” status. - Open Status → Create ClickUp Task → Send Email confirmation. - Not Open Status → Send Slack notification. Customization Ideas 🎯 Add additional filtering (e.g., only create tasks if payment verification = “Pending”). 📢 Send Slack alerts for all new leads, not just closed ones. 📚 Log completed payment verifications into Airtable or Notion for reporting. 💡 Include payment due dates or invoice numbers in ClickUp task details.
