Automate Medical Rep Visit Workflow with Google Sheets, Gmail & OpenAI Summaries

This n8n workflow automates the daily reporting lifecycle for Medical Representatives (MRs) — assigning daily visits from Google Sheets, emailing visit details, sending reminders for pending updates, converting Google Form responses into structured AI-generated summaries, and emailing consolidated daily reports to managers.

---

⚡ Quick Start – Implementation Steps

1. Connect Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials in all related nodes.

2. Update the documentId and sheetName / gid for:

   • MR Plan sheet
   • Form Responses sheet

3. Add Gmail OAuth2 credentials for sending emails.

4. Ensure the Google Form link exists in the MR Plan sheet.

5. Configure OpenAI credentials for AI Agent / Chat Model nodes.

6. Adjust all Schedule Trigger nodes (morning, evening, night).

7. Run a full test execution to verify assignments, reminders, and summaries.

📌 What It Does

This workflow automates three critical daily processes:

🌅 Morning – Visit Assignment

• Reads the MR Plan sheet.
• Finds visits with Status = Pending.
• Emails each MR their visit details and reporting form link.
• Updates the row status to Assigned.

🌆 Evening – Reminder Follow-ups

• Checks which MRs haven’t submitted visit updates.
• Sends reminder emails with the form link.
• Updates the sheet to mark reminders sent.

🌙 Night – AI Summary & Reporting

• Reads all responses from the Google Form Responses sheet.
• Uses OpenAI to normalize, summarize, and structure visit feedback.
• Emails a consolidated daily summary report to the manager.

This removes manual coordination, improves reporting consistency, and ensures leadership receives clean daily insights.
