This article provides a complete, practical walkthrough of the Code Webhook Send Webhook n8n agent. It connects HTTP Request, Webhook across approximately 1 node(s). Expect a Intermediate setup in 15-45 minutes. One‑time purchase: €29.

What This Agent Does

This agent orchestrates a reliable automation between HTTP Request, Webhook, handling triggers, data enrichment, and delivery with guardrails for errors and rate limits.

It streamlines multi‑step processes that would otherwise require manual exports, spreadsheet cleanup, and repeated API requests. By centralizing logic in n8n, it reduces context switching, lowers error rates, and ensures consistent results across teams.

Typical outcomes include faster lead handoffs, automated notifications, accurate data synchronization, and better visibility via execution logs and optional Slack/Email alerts.

How It Works

The workflow uses standard n8n building blocks like Webhook or Schedule triggers, HTTP Request for API calls, and control nodes (IF, Merge, Set) to validate inputs, branch on conditions, and format outputs. Retries and timeouts improve resilience, while credentials keep secrets safe.

   ## Automate Order Tracking with n8n: From Webhook to Email Summary
   
   Managing customer orders manually can be time-consuming and error-prone. Whether you run an e-commerce store or a small business, automating the flow of order data and daily reporting can dramatically boost your efficiency. Using n8n, a powerful open-source workflow automation tool, you can create an end-to-end process to log new orders and email an HTML-formatted daily summary to your inbox — no coding experience needed.
   
   In this article, we dive into a fully functioning n8n workflow that uses Airtable to store order information and Gmail to send daily reports. Here's a breakdown of how this workflow works and how to set it up.

   ### 🧠 Workflow Overview: What Does It Do?
   
   This n8n workflow performs two main tasks:
   
   1. **Order Intake via Webhook**  
      Each time a new order is placed, a POST request is sent to an n8n Webhook node. The workflow captures `orderID` and `orderPrice`, appends the current timestamp, and stores the order in Airtable.
   
   2. **Daily Email Summary at 7 PM**  
      At exactly 7 PM every day, the workflow searches Airtable for all orders placed in the last 24 hours (from yesterday's 7 PM to today’s 7 PM). The results are formatted into a nice-looking HTML table and sent via Gmail to a predefined email address.

   ### 🔧 Workflow Components
   
   Let’s walk through the important nodes that make this automation work:
   
   #### 1. Webhook Node
   This is the entry point for order data. Your system sends a POST request to this webhook with data such as:
   
   ```json
   {
     "orderID": 12345,
     "orderPrice": 99.99
   }
   ```
   
   #### 2. Set Order Fields
   This node adds a timestamp to the incoming order and formats it for storage.
   
   #### 3. Store Order (Airtable Node)
   Saves the order details into an Airtable table where previous entries are also kept. Fields include `time`, `orderID`, and `orderPrice`.
   
   #### 4. Everyday at 7PM (Schedule Trigger)
   This node triggers the daily summary workflow at 19:00 (7 PM) every day.
   
   #### 5. Yesterday Date (Code Node)
   It calculates the timestamp for "yesterday at 7 PM" and "now". These values are needed to filter which records to include in the email summary.
   
   #### 6. Airtable Get Today's Orders
   Retrieves all orders submitted between yesterday at 7 PM and now by using an Airtable formula filter. It ensures only today's orders are included.
   
   #### 7. HTML Node
   Takes the list of orders and dynamically builds an HTML table. This is the body content of the summary email.
   
   #### 8. Send to Gmail
   Sends an email with the subject "Daily Order Summary" and attaches the HTML table showing the day’s orders.

   ### 📤 How To Set It Up
   
   Here’s what you need to get this automation running:
   
   1. **Airtable Setup**
      - Create a base with at least three fields: `time` (type: DateTime), `orderID` (Number), `orderPrice` (Number).
      - Generate a Personal Access Token from Airtable with read and write permissions.
   
   2. **Connect Gmail**
      - Set up a Gmail OAuth credential in n8n using your client secret credentials from Google Cloud Console. 
   
   3. **Configure n8n**
      - Import the provided workflow.
      - Replace webhook URLs and Airtable base/table IDs with your actual data.
      - Test webhook by sending a POST request.
      - Ensure correct timezone configuration on the server hosting n8n to maintain accurate 7 PM execution.

   ### ✅ Additional Tips
   
   - To customize the email recipient or add CC/BCC, adjust the Gmail node accordingly.
   - Modify the HTML styling inside the HTML node for branding consistency.
   - Use environment variables to manage credentials securely and make the workflow reusable.

   ### 🚀 Benefits of This Workflow
   
   - Save time with zero manual data entry.
   - Improve accuracy and streamline order reporting.
   - Get reliable order summaries at the same time daily.
   - Easily scalable — add more fields or recipients when needed.
   
   ---
   
   ### 📌 Real-World Use Cases
   
   - Send daily reports to project managers or fulfillment teams.
   - Track and analyze order volume with historical records stored in Airtable.
   - Automate customer invoicing and financial summaries.

   By integrating Airtable and Gmail with n8n, this workflow makes order tracking smart, fast, and automated. With minimal configuration, any business or developer can empower their back office with the tools they already use, without writing a single line of backend code. Embrace automation today and let n8n do the heavy lifting.

   Need to scale your automation or send notifications via other services like Slack or Telegram? n8n is modular — simply plug in new nodes and iterate!

5. Set credentials for each API node (keys, OAuth) in Credentials.
6. Run a test via Execute Workflow. Inspect Run Data, then adjust parameters.
7. Enable the workflow to run on schedule, webhook, or triggers as configured.

Tips: keep secrets in credentials, add retries and timeouts on HTTP nodes, implement error notifications, and paginate large API fetches.

Validation: use IF/Code nodes to sanitize inputs and guard against empty payloads.

Why Automate This with AI Agents

AI‑assisted automations offload repetitive, error‑prone tasks to a predictable workflow. Instead of manual copy‑paste and ad‑hoc scripts, your team gets a governed pipeline with versioned state, auditability, and observable runs.

n8n’s node graph makes data flow transparent while AI‑powered enrichment (classification, extraction, summarization) boosts throughput and consistency. Teams reclaim time, reduce operational costs, and standardize best practices without sacrificing flexibility.

Compared to one‑off integrations, an AI agent is easier to extend: swap APIs, add filters, or bolt on notifications without rewriting everything. You get reliability, control, and a faster path from idea to production.

Best Practices

• Credentials: restrict scopes and rotate tokens regularly.
• Resilience: configure retries, timeouts, and backoff for API nodes.
• Data Quality: validate inputs; normalize fields early to reduce downstream branching.
• Performance: batch records and paginate for large datasets.
• Observability: add failure alerts (Email/Slack) and persistent logs for auditing.
• Security: avoid sensitive data in logs; use environment variables and n8n credentials.

FAQs

Can I swap integrations later? Yes. Replace or add nodes and re‑map fields without rebuilding the whole flow.

How do I monitor failures? Use Execution logs and add notifications on the Error Trigger path.

Does it scale? Use queues, batching, and sub‑workflows to split responsibilities and control load.

Is my data safe? Keep secrets in Credentials, restrict token scopes, and review access logs.
