CAC & Channel Quality Pipeline

CAC & Channel Quality Pipeline ships as a ready-to-import n8n automation package: load the bundled workflow JSON, connect the credentials listed on this page, and activate it on self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud.

Automatically calculates Customer Acquisition Cost per marketing channel every morning, flags budget-busting channels, and sends a Slack alert before wasted spend compounds.

Calculate CAC per marketing channel automatically every morning without touching a spreadsheet
Receive a Slack alert the moment any channel breaches your configured CAC threshold
Append a timestamped row to your Dashboard sheet on every run for trend tracking over time
Configure sheet IDs, channel names, and alert thresholds in a single Config node — no code edits needed
Handle channels with zero leads gracefully, flagging them as data gaps rather than failing the run
Works with any Google Sheet where you already export or paste ad spend and lead counts

How it works

Workflow summary

One workflow handles everything end-to-end.

1The workflow runs automatically every morning at 8 AM on a daily schedule
2Reads all rows from the Spend sheet — each row has a channel name and the spend in USD for the period
3Groups and totals spend by channel into a compact summary
4Reads all rows from the Leads sheet — each row has a channel name and the number of qualified leads generated
5Calculates Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC = spend ÷ leads) for every channel and flags any that exceed the configured threshold
6Appends one row per channel to the CAC Dashboard sheet so you can track trends over time
7Checks whether any channel breached the threshold and sends a formatted Slack message with the offending channels if so

FAQ

About this template

How long does it take to set up CAC & Channel Quality Pipeline?

Most people finish in minutes following the guide. If you’ve never used n8n before, budget an hour — the first workflow is always the slowest.

What if I get stuck?

Email support@n8ntemplatestore.com. Free basic support is included with every purchase, and you’ll get a reply from our team within 24 hours. If setup needs more than email, we can schedule a call.

Do I need to pay for Google Sheets?

API costs are separate and go directly to the provider — typically a few dollars a month at most for a solo business. Full breakdown is in the setup guide.

Can I customize the workflow?

Yes, completely. You own the .json — edit nodes, swap in your own prompts, re-wire the logic. Our support team can help you plan customizations over email.

What if it doesn’t work for me?

Refunds are issued only as described in our Refund Policy (https://n8ntemplatestore.com/refund-policy). Or add Setup Service at checkout for a live install and test session — pick any tier you prefer.
