Automated daily customer win-back campaign with AI offers

Proactively retain customers predicted to churn with this automated n8n workflow. Running daily, it identifies high-risk customers from your Google Sheet, uses Google Gemini to generate personalized win-back offers based on their churn score and preferences, sends these offers via Gmail, and logs all actions for tracking. What does this workflow do? This workflow automates the critical process of customer retention by: Running automatically every day on a schedule you define. Fetching customer data from a designated Google Sheet containing metrics like predicted churn scores and preferred categories. Filtering to identify customers with a high churn risk (score > 0.7) who haven't recently received a specific campaign (based on the createdcampaigndate field - you might need to adjust this logic). Using Google Gemini AI to dynamically generate one of three types of win-back offers, personalized based on the customer's specific churn score and preferred product categories: Informational: (Score 0.7-0.8) Highlights new items in preferred categories. Bonus Points: (Score 0.8-0.9) Offers points for purchases in a target category (e.g., Books). Discount Percentage: (Score 0.9-1.0) Offers a percentage discount in a target category (e.g., Books). Sending the personalized offer directly to the customer via Gmail. Logging each sent offer or the absence of eligible customers for the day in a separate 'SYSTEMLOG' Google Sheet for monitoring and analysis. Who is this for?

Daily Trigger: The workflow starts automatically based on the schedule set (e.g., daily at 9 AM). 2. Fetch Data: Reads all customer data from your 'Customer Data' Google Sheet. 3. Filter Customers: Selects customers where predictedchurnscore > 0.7 AND createdcampaigndate is empty (verify this condition fits your needs). 4. Check for Eligibility: Determines if any customers passed the filter. 5. IF Eligible Customers Found: Loop: Processes each eligible customer one by one. Generate Offer (Gemini): Sends the customer's predictedchurnscore and preferredcategories to Gemini. Gemini analyzes these and the defined rules to create the appropriate offer type, value, title, and detailed message, returning it as structured JSON. Log Sent Offer: Records actiontaken = SENTWINBACKOFFER, the timestamp, and customerid in the 'SYSTEMLOG' sheet. Send Email: Uses the Gmail node to send an email to the customer's usermail with the generated offertitle as the subject and offerdetails as the body. 6. IF No Eligible Customers Found: Set Status: Creates a record indicating systemlog = NOTFOUND. Log Status: Records this 'NOTFOUND' status and the current timestamp in the 'SYSTEMLOG' sheet. n8n Nodes Used Schedule Trigger Google Sheets (x3 - Read Customers, Log Sent Offer, Log Not Found) Filter If SplitInBatches (Used for Looping) Langchain Chain - LLM (Gemini Offer Generation) Langchain Chat Model - Google Gemini Langchain Output Parser - Structured Set (Prepare 'Not Found' Log) Gmail (Send Offer Email) Prerequisites Active n8n instance (Cloud or Self-Hosted). Google Account with access to Google Sheets and Gmail. Google Sheets API Credentials (OAuth2): Configured in n8n. Two Google Sheets: 'Customer Data' Sheet: Must contain columns like customerid, predictedchurnscore (numeric), preferredcategories (string, e.g., ["Books", "Electronics"]), usermail (string), and potentially createdcampaigndate (date/string).

Configure Filter Node (2. Filter High Churn Risk...): Crucially, review the second condition: {{ $json.createdcampaigndate.isEmpty() }}. Ensure this field and logic correctly identify customers who should receive the offer based on your campaign strategy. Modify or remove if necessary. 5. Configure Google Gemini Nodes: Select your configured Google Vertex AI / Gemini credentials in the Google Gemini Chat Model node. Review the prompt in the 5a.
