An n8n workflow that runs every evening. An OpenAI agent writes a report on the top n8n creators, saves it to Google Drive and emails it, and a Gemini list of top workflows goes to email and Telegram. Daily top n8n creators report by email, Drive and Telegram is an n8n workflow in the Research category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page or copy its JSON, then import it into an n8n canvas. Nothing runs until you activate it in n8n. ## About ### What it is This n8n workflow sends a daily report on the n8n template leaderboard without anyone asking. At 22:00 an OpenAI agent calls a lookup tool that reads two public stats files and keeps the ten top creators and the fifty top workflows. The agent writes a Markdown report. The workflow saves it to Google Drive, emails it through Gmail and can keep a local file. A second model, Gemini, then builds a list of the ten most inserted workflows, and that list goes out by email and Telegram. Twenty seven nodes run it, beside seventeen sticky notes. ### Who it suits Template authors, community managers and n8n agencies who want the leaderboard summed up in their inbox every day, with no chat and no input. It is the scheduled one. Its sibling listing, Chat agent that writes a report on one n8n creator, answers a single username on demand. Skip this one if you only need an occasional lookup. Who uses it, and how | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Community | Community managers | Keep an eye on who and what is rising each day | A manager reads the morning email and spots a newcomer in the top ten. | | Agencies | Automation consultants | Watch which templates draw attention in the market | A consultant forwards the top ten list to the team every morning. | | Template authors | Creators | Track where they stand against others | An author checks the daily report to see whether a new template made the list. | | Media | Newsletter writers | Start a weekly column from the daily reports | A writer collects seven reports and picks the trend. | You need some n8n: five credentials if you keep every branch, and a few placeholders to fill. ### Where to use it Any n8n that can reach OpenAI, Google, Telegram and the public stats files will run it. It must stay switched on to run on its own, and the report lands in Drive and in your inbox. - n8n Cloud: import the file into a new workflow there, and delete the local save step - Your own n8n server: the same file, with an optional folder for the local copy - Google Drive and Gmail: where the report arrives - Telegram: where the top ten list arrives ### How to set it up Download saves a zip with `workflow.json` and Mindket’s setup notes in your downloads folder. Import the file, save it once, add the credentials for the branches you keep and fill in three placeholders. What you need first | Need | Detail | | --- | --- | | n8n | On n8n Cloud or on a server of your own | | OpenAI and Google Gemini | An API key for each | | Google | A Gmail credential and a Google Drive credential, each with OAuth2 | | Telegram | A bot credential and the ID of the chat to write to, if you keep that branch | 1. In n8n, create a workflow, open its menu, choose Import from File and pick `workflow.json`. Save it, because the agent’s tool runs this same workflow by its own ID. 2. Add an OpenAI credential and select it in `gpt-4o-mini`. Add a Google Gemini credential and select it in `Google Gemini Chat Model`. 3. Add a Gmail credential and select it in both Gmail nodes. Replace `` in each. 4. Add a Google Drive credential and select it in `Google Drive`. 5. Add a Telegram credential, select it in `Telegram Top 10 Workflows List` and replace ``. 6. To keep a local file, replace `` in `Save creator-summary.md`. Delete the branches you do not want. 7. Press Test workflow and check each place. Then turn the workflow on. ### How to use it Turn the workflow on and leave it. Each evening it runs, and the report appears in Drive and your inbox. Press Test workflow any time to run it at once. What to change for a different result | To change | Where | | --- | --- | | When it runs | \`Schedule Trigger\` | | What the report holds | The instructions in \`n8n Creators Stats Agent\` | | How many creators and workflows | \`Take Top 10 Creators\` and \`Take Top 50 Workflows\` | | Which places receive it | Delete a branch, or add a node for another tool | | The list’s wording | The prompt in \`Create Top 10 Workflows List\` | ### Example A community manager switches the workflow on before leaving the office. The next morning two emails wait for her. She opens the first. It holds the full Markdown report, with a summary, links to each workflow, a table and an analysis, and a copy sits in Google Drive. The second email and a Telegram message carry the top ten list. Treat the numbers as the model’s reading of the stats files, and check any figure you quote. ### For newcomers and experts **If you are new.** n8n draws a workflow as boxes joined by lines, and each box, a node, does one job. A schedule trigger starts a workflow on a timetable. An agent is a model that can call tools by itself, and here its tool is another run of this same workflow. **For experts.** The lookup is a second entry point in the same file. It returns every creator and workflow it kept, with no username filter, so the agent sees the whole top ten at once. Where to look closer | Node | What it does | What to know | | --- | --- | --- | | \`Schedule Trigger\` | Starts the run at 22:00 | It uses the time zone of your n8n, and Mindket’s copy drops the author’s own zone | | \`Workflow Tool\` | Runs this workflow by its own ID | The sub run starts at \`When Executed by Another Workflow\` | | \`Take Top 10 Creators\` | Cuts the sorted creators to ten | \`Take Top 50 Workflows\` does the same for workflows | | \`Create Top 10 Workflows List\` | Asks Gemini for a linked list of the ten most inserted workflows | It runs at a temperature of 0.2 and the list goes to Gmail and Telegram | ### Good to know Three services receive each run, and two models are named in the file. - Data: the two stats files are public, and the workflow reads them live from the address in \`Global Variables\`. We fetched them on 12 November 2026, and they held 2391 creators and 11487 workflows - Reach: the report covers the top ten creators and the top fifty workflows by weekly inserts, so it changes as the rankings move - Models: the file sets \`gpt-4o-mini\`. OpenAI’s deprecations page, read on 12 November 2026, gives 14 January 2027 as the shutdown of \`gpt-4o\`, \`gpt-4o-mini\`, \`gpt-4.1\` and \`gpt-4.1-mini\`, with \`gpt-6-luna\` as the replacement - Gemini: the original copy set \`models/gemini-2.0-flash-exp\`. Google’s deprecations page, read the same day, lists the \`gemini-2.0-flash\` family as shut down on 1 June 2026, with \`gemini-3.6-flash\` as the replacement, and Mindket’s copy uses it - Telegram: the message sets the HTML parse mode, and the list comes from Gemini as Markdown, so links may show as plain text there - Repairs: the original copy expected a \`data\` wrapper that the files do not have, and it held its author’s email, chat setting and folder. Mindket’s copy drops the wrapper steps and holds placeholders - Schedule: 22:00 in the time zone of your n8n - Billing: OpenAI and Google bill each run - Your data: the creators’ public stats go to OpenAI and Google, and the report goes to Gmail, Google Drive and Telegram - Credentials: the JSON holds none ## README ```markdown # Daily top n8n creators report by email, Drive and Telegram An n8n workflow that runs by itself every evening. An OpenAI agent reads the public stats for the ten most inserted n8n template creators and their popular workflows, and writes a Markdown report. The workflow then saves it to Google Drive, emails it through Gmail, and sends a top ten workflow list by email and Telegram. ## How it differs from the chat report Mindket lists a sibling workflow, Chat agent that writes a report on one n8n creator. That one waits for you, takes a username in a chat and covers one creator. This one needs no input. It runs on a schedule, covers the top ten creators together and delivers its results to places you read anyway. Pick this one for a standing report and the other for an on demand lookup. ## What is inside - `workflow.json`: the workflow as n8n exports it, 27 nodes and 17 sticky notes. It holds no credential. - `README.md`: these notes. ## What we changed from the original copy - The workflow reads two public stats files and expects each to arrive wrapped in a `data` field. Both are plain lists with no such field. We fetched them on 12 November 2026, and they held 2391 creators and 11487 workflows. The four steps that looked for the wrapper (`Parse Creators Data`, `Split Out Creators`, `Parse Workflow Data` and `Split Out Workflows`) are gone, and each sort step now takes the downloaded items directly. - Both Gmail nodes sent to an address that belonged to the workflow's author. Each now reads ``. - `Telegram Top 10 Workflows List` read its chat from an environment variable of the author's n8n. It now reads ``. - `Save creator-summary.md` wrote into a folder on its author's computer. The path now reads ``. - `Google Gemini Chat Model` was set to `models/gemini-2.0-flash-exp`. It now reads `models/gemini-3.6-flash`. See Good to know. - One long promotional sticky note is gone. Three others lost their links to outside pages. ## Before you start - An n8n instance, on n8n Cloud or your own server. - An OpenAI API key, and a Google Gemini API key. - A Google account for Gmail and Google Drive. - Optional: a Telegram bot and the ID of the chat it should write to, and a folder on the machine that runs n8n for the saved file. ## Set it up 1. In n8n, create a workflow, open its menu, choose Import from File and pick `workflow.json`. Save it. The agent's lookup tool is this same workflow, called by its own ID, so it must be saved first. 2. Add an OpenAI credential and select it in `gpt-4o-mini`. 3. Add a Google Gemini credential and select it in `Google Gemini Chat Model`. 4. Add a Gmail OAuth2 credential. Select it in `Gmail Creators & Workflows Report` and `Gmail Top 10 Workflows List`, and replace `` in both. 5. Add a Google Drive OAuth2 credential and select it in `Google Drive`. The file lands in the root of My Drive. Pick another folder in the node if you prefer. 6. Add a Telegram credential and select it in `Telegram Top 10 Workflows List`. Replace `` with your chat's ID. To skip Telegram, delete that node. 7. To keep a local file as well, replace `` in `Save creator-summary.md`. To skip it, delete that node and `creator-summary`. 8. Press Test workflow once and check each place. Then turn the workflow on. ## How a run goes 1. `Schedule Trigger` starts the run at 22:00 every day, in the time zone of your n8n. 2. `n8n Creators Stats Agent` gets the request "Prepare a report about the n8n creators". `gpt-4o-mini` is its model, with a temperature of 0.1. 3. The agent calls `Workflow Tool`, which runs this same workflow through `When Executed by Another Workflow`. 4. In that second run, `Global Variables` sets the address of the two stats files. `stats_aggregate_creators` and `stats_aggregate_workflows` download them, and each list is sorted by weekly inserters, highest first. 5. `Take Top 10 Creators` and `Take Top 50 Workflows` cut the lists down. `Creators Data` and `Workflows Data` keep the fields the report needs, and `Merge Creators & Workflows` joins creators to their workflows by username. 6. `Aggregate` and `Workflow Response` hand all of it back to the agent. Unlike the chat sibling, nothing filters it to one username. 7. The agent writes a Markdown report with a summary, hyperlinks to each workflow, a table, an analysis and extra insights. The run then splits in four: - `creator-summary` turns it into a text file, and `Save creator-summary.md` writes it to your folder. - `Google Drive` creates a text file named `n8n Creator Stats Report` with the time, in My Drive. - `Convert Markdown to HTML` makes it HTML, and `Gmail Creators & Workflows Report` emails it. - `Create Top 10 Workflows List` asks Gemini, at a temperature of 0.2, for a list of the ten workflows with the most weekly inserts, with links and no preamble. `Convert Top 10 Markdown to HTML` and `Gmail Top 10 Workflows List` email that list, and `Telegram Top 10 Workflows List` sends it to Telegram. ## Change the look - When it runs: `Schedule Trigger`. - What the report holds: the instructions in `n8n Creators Stats Agent`. - How many creators and workflows: `Take Top 10 Creators` and `Take Top 50 Workflows`. - Which places receive it: delete the branches you do not want, or add nodes for Slack or another tool. - The list's wording: the prompt in `Create Top 10 Workflows List`. ## Good to know - The facts below come from pages and n8n source read on 12 November 2026. - The stats files are public, and the workflow reads them live from the address in `Global Variables`. If their owner moves or reshapes them, the lookup fails until you update that address. - The report covers only the top ten creators and the top fifty workflows by weekly inserts, so it changes as the rankings move. - The model is `gpt-4o-mini`. OpenAI's deprecations page gives 14 January 2027 as the shutdown date of `gpt-4o`, `gpt-4o-mini`, `gpt-4.1` and `gpt-4.1-mini`, and names `gpt-6-luna` as their replacement. Pick another model before that date. - Google's deprecations page lists the `gemini-2.0-flash` family as shut down on 1 June 2026, with `gemini-3.6-flash` as the replacement, and it does not list `gemini-2.0-flash-exp` by name. Mindket's copy uses the replacement. - The Telegram message sets the HTML parse mode, but the list comes from Gemini as Markdown. Links may show as plain Markdown text there. Change the parse mode or convert the list first if that bothers you. - A language model writes the report and can misread a number. Check anything you quote against the data. - Billing: OpenAI and Google bill each run, and the report's table makes the calls long. - Your data: the creators' public stats go to OpenAI and Google, and the report goes to Gmail, Google Drive and Telegram. - Credentials: the JSON holds none. ``` ## What is in it 3 files, 37 KB, downloaded as a zip. ```text NOTICE.md 690 B README.md 7 KB workflow.json 29 KB ``` ## Workflow check Checked by Mindket on 13 Nov 2026.
