Managing cold email campaigns is time-consuming, especially when you need to analyze performance and create reports for your team every week. This case study shows how I built a complete automation workflow that automatically generates professional campaign reports and shares them with the team so no manual work required.

Time Saved: 5+ hours per week Tools Used: n8n, ManyReach, OpenAI GPT-4, Google Drive, Slack

Every Monday morning, marketing teams face the same challenge:

Manual data collection from ManyReach campaigns

Hours spent analyzing open rates, reply rates, and conversions

Creating reports in Google Docs manually

Sharing updates with team members individually

This process typically takes 5-6 hours per week and is prone to human error. Plus, it's boring repetitive work that takes time away from strategic tasks.

I created an n8n automation workflow that:

✅ Automatically runs every Monday morning ✅ Fetches all completed campaigns from ManyReach ✅ Uses AI to analyze performance against industry benchmarks ✅ Generates professional reports as Google Docs ✅ Shares report links directly in Slack

Before: 5-6 hours per week manually creating reports

After: 0 hours everything runs automatically

AI analysis spots patterns you might miss

Consistent benchmarking against industry standards

Actionable recommendations backed by data

Everyone gets reports at the same time

Reports are saved in Google Drive for easy reference

No more "Can you send me that report?" messages

Less time on reporting

More time on strategy and optimization

Data-driven decisions become easier

Automating cold email campaign reports isn't just about saving time—it's about making better decisions faster. This n8n workflow eliminates manual reporting work while providing deeper insights through AI analysis.

As an n8n Verified Creator, I've built this workflow to be reliable, maintainable, and beginner-friendly. Whether you're new to automation or an experienced n8n user, you can have this running in under 30 minutes.
