10 n8n Workflows That Save Hours Every Week

The best automations are boring: they remove the small repetitive tasks that quietly eat your week. After reviewing hundreds of community workflows, these ten n8n patterns deliver the biggest time savings for typical teams.

Top performers include: lead capture from forms into your CRM with AI enrichment, daily KPI digests posted to Slack, AI summarization of support emails, social post scheduling from a Google Sheet, invoice data extraction to accounting tools, and website-change monitoring with alerts. Each takes under 30 minutes to set up.

All of these patterns exist as importable templates in our n8n library. Start with one workflow that touches your daily routine — the compounding effect of even three automations is dramatic.
