How the Automation Works

How the Automation Works

Simple technical architecture with powerful business impact

The Technical Framework:

  1. Slack Command: Employee types /idea [their suggestion] in any channel
  2. Webhook Trigger: Command activates an n8n workflow via webhook
  3. Data Processing: The idea is formatted with metadata (creator, timestamp)
  4. Google Sheets: Information is automatically added to a structured spreadsheet
  5. Confirmation: User receives an acknowledgment message in Slack

This elegantly simple architecture requires minimal setup, connects popular business tools, and creates a seamless experience that feels like magic to your team. The entire process happens in seconds, with no manual intervention required.
