[Practice “Find and Use n8n Templates” step by step](https://learn.ynteractive.com/modules/n8n-templates) ## Full transcript ### Intro: what you'll build [0:00](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=0) Don't start from a blank canvas. A booking workflow for Hillside Pet Grooming from a free template. You'll find it in the n8n gallery. Connect Google Sheets and Gmail, then test booking and publish it. Let's build it. ### Find a template [0:13](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=13) Here's the n8n workspace for Hillside Pet Grooming, and it's still empty. Before you build anything from scratch, check whether someone already has. In the sidebar, click Templates. [0:22](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=22) That opens the n8n template gallery in a new tab. Thousands of free workflows, sorted into categories like AI, Sales, IT Ops and Marketing. Booking requests are really sales leads, so click Sales. [0:35](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=35) Now narrow it down. Hillside takes bookings through a form, so type form in the search box and press Enter. [0:41](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=41) This one fits: it logs every booking request to a Google Sheet and sends a confirmation from Gmail. Click it to open the template page. ### Import it [0:49](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=49) The template page shows a preview of the workflow, who made it, and a description of what it does and what you need. Click Use for free. [0:55](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=55) Because you came here from your own workspace, n8n lists it right here. Click Import template to your workspace. The Copy template to clipboard option works anywhere too: you'd paste it straight onto an empty canvas. ### Set up credentials [1:07](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=67) Back in n8n, the workflow is already on your canvas, and a Set up template window lists every account it needs. Two here: Google Sheets and Gmail. Click Create new Google Sheets credential. [1:17](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=77) On n8n Cloud you don't need any Google developer setup. Just click Sign in with Google. [1:22](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=82) Pick the Google account your business uses. Here that's the Hillside Grooming account. [1:26](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=86) Google shows exactly what n8n will be allowed to do. Tick Select all, so the workflow can add rows to your sheet. [1:32](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=92) Click Continue, and Google hands the connection back to n8n. [1:36](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=96) Account connected. n8n saves the credential for you, so you can use it in any workflow from now on. Close this window. [1:43](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=103) Google Sheets is done. Now Gmail. Click Create new Gmail credential. [1:47](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=107) Same as before. Click Sign in with Google. [1:49](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=109) Pick the Hillside Grooming account again. [1:52](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=112) This time the permissions are for Gmail, so the workflow can send the confirmation email. Tick Select all. [1:57](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=117) And Continue. [1:58](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=118) Connected. Close the window. [2:00](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=120) Both accounts are connected. Click Continue, and n8n puts them into the right steps for you. ### Finish the setup [2:05](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=125) There's the whole workflow: a form, a Google Sheets step and a Gmail step, plus a sticky note from the creator. Quick detour: click the three dots at the top. [2:13](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=133) This menu has Import from URL and Import from File, for when someone sends you a workflow file. Good to know. Now open the Google Sheets step. The warning means it still needs your spreadsheet. [2:24](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=144) Your Google Sheets credential is already filled in. The template can't know which spreadsheet is yours, so click the Document dropdown. [2:31](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=151) Pick the Hillside Booking Requests sheet. [2:33](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=153) Then the Sheet dropdown, for the tab inside it. [2:36](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=156) Sheet1. The template already maps the columns: name, email, pet name and the time it came in. Your sheet just needs those headers in its first row. [2:44](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=164) Close the node. [2:45](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=165) Last bit of set-up: make the email sound like you. Open the Gmail step. [2:49](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=169) It already sends to the email address from the form. Swap in Hillside's own message. The parts in double curly braces pull in the customer's name and their pet's name. [2:58](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=178) Close it. ### First test run [2:59](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=179) No more warnings. Time for a test run. Click Execute workflow. [3:03](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=183) n8n opens the booking form in a new tab and waits. Pretend you're a customer. Type a name. [3:08](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=188) An email. In the real thing, use your own, so you get the confirmation. [3:12](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=192) And the pet's name. [3:14](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=194) Submit. [3:15](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=195) Now head back to the n8n tab to see what happened. [3:18](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=198) Every step ran and has a green check: the request went into the sheet and the confirmation went out. Click Publish, and it runs for every real booking from now on. [3:26](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/find-and-use-n8n-templates/video?t=206) Simple as that. We show you and you do it.
