1. Step 1 – Architecture & Approach:
   • Designed an ETL-style workflow using n8n.
   • Workflow sequence: Form Submission → Database/Sheets Storage → User Confirmation Email → Admin Notification → Frontend Response.
   • Data captured in real time via webhooks from Google Forms or custom HTML forms, ensuring seamless automation.
2. Step 2 – Tools, Libraries & Highlights:
   • n8n: Orchestrated workflows and triggered automated actions.
   • Google Sheets/MySQL: Structured storage of submitted form data.
   • Gmail API: Automated user confirmation and admin notification emails.
   • Webhooks: Sent real-time responses back to the frontend for smooth UX.
   • Highlights: Configured conditional notification rules, reusable email templates, and error-handling logic for failed submissions.
3. Step 3 – Deployment & Infrastructure:
   • Workflow deployed on n8n cloud/self-hosted instance.
   • Secure integration with Google APIs and Gmail for data and email automation.
   • Scalable architecture capable of handling large volumes of submissions without manual intervention.

Results & Impact

Automated confirmations enhanced user trust and engagement, with instant acknowledgment of submissions.
