Find and use n8n templates: import one, connect your accounts, make it yours

A template is someone else's workflow. It can't know your accounts or your data, so your job is the part it leaves to you.

## Find and import

1. In your n8n workspace, click **Templates** in the left sidebar. The gallery opens on n8n.io.
2. Pick a category (the lesson uses **Sales**), type **form** in the search box and press Enter.
3. Open **Log booking requests to Google Sheets and send a Gmail confirmation**, then click **Use for free**.
4. Click **Import template to** your workspace. A **Set up template** window lists every account it needs.

## Connect your own accounts

- Credentials are never shared with a template. Under **1. Google Sheets**, click **Create new Google Sheets credential**, then **Sign in with Google**.
- Pick the business account, tick **Select all**, **Continue**. Close the window when it says **Account connected**.
- Repeat under **2. Gmail**, then click **Continue**.
- Self-hosted n8n may need your own Google OAuth app first.

## Make it yours

- Open each node with a warning. In **Append row in sheet**, pick your **Document** and **Sheet**.
- Your sheet needs the template's headers in its first row.
- In **Send a message**, write your own email. `{{ $json.Name }}` and `{{ $json["Pet name"] }}` pull in the form answers.
- Click **Execute workflow**, fill in the test form, **Submit**. Every step green? Click **Publish**.

## Other ways in

**Copy template to clipboard (JSON)**

Paste it onto an empty canvas with Ctrl+V or Cmd+V.

**Import from File**

In the **···** workflow menu, for a .json file on your computer.

**Import from URL**

Same menu, for a link to the JSON.

**Remember:** Never publish a template as it arrived. Connect your own accounts, fix every warning, run one test, then publish.
