Periodic Aggregation of Product Ideas with Notification Push

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow leverages a preset scheduled trigger to automatically fetch newly added product ideas from the past 7 days—focusing specifically on user experience (UX)-related suggestions. It filters and aggregates the data, then pushes the summarized results as a message to a designated Slack channel, enabling efficient tracking and team-wide sharing of product ideas.

Core Problems Addressed

  • Automates the aggregation of product ideas, eliminating the complexity and risk of omissions associated with manual compilation.
  • Precisely filters for key content (e.g., UX improvement suggestions) to enhance the relevance and value of the information.
  • Provides real-time notifications to relevant team members, facilitating rapid response and discussion around new ideas.

Use Cases

  • Regular review and analysis of user experience improvement suggestions by product teams.
  • Monitoring progress in idea management and innovation projects.
  • Enabling remote teams to instantly share and communicate the latest product ideas via Slack.
  • Any business process requiring periodic aggregation and notification of critical information.

Main Workflow Steps

  1. Scheduled Trigger: Configure the Schedule Trigger node to run automatically on a weekly basis.
  2. Data Loading: Retrieve entries created within the last 7 days from the Notion database (storing product ideas). (Note: This node is currently disabled and can be used as a template or replaced.)
  3. Data Simulation: Generate mock data using the Code node for testing and demonstration purposes.
  4. Filtering: Use the Filter node to select only product ideas tagged with “UX.”
  5. Data Aggregation: Utilize the Item Lists node to count the number of ideas meeting the criteria.
  6. Result Notification: Send the aggregated results to a specified Slack channel to inform the team of the new idea count.

Systems and Services Involved

  • Notion: Serves as the source database for product ideas (can be substituted with other services like Jira, Airtable, Google Sheets, etc.).
  • Slack: Notification channel that supports instant receipt of aggregated information by the team.
  • n8n Core Nodes: Includes scheduled trigger, code, filter, and list processing nodes to handle data processing and workflow control.

Target Users and Value

  • Product managers and team members, helping them quickly grasp and track UX-related innovations.
  • Idea managers and project leads, improving information flow efficiency and supporting data-driven product iterations.
  • Any organization aiming to automate data aggregation and team message pushing to boost productivity and reduce repetitive tasks.

By implementing this workflow, teams can effortlessly automate the organization and real-time sharing of product idea data, ensuring critical information is not overlooked and fostering continuous product optimization and innovation.
