ProductivityIntermediate✓ Release process: run on a live n8n instance

User Interview & Incentive Pipeline

User Interview & Incentive 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.

The recruiting-and-incentive stage of user research on its own. From a single webhook it handles two moments — inviting a candidate (logged to Google Sheets with an AI-personalized invitation email and your scheduling link) and closing the loop after the session (a warm thank-you email carrying the incentive code or gift-card link). No transcript analysis and no scheduling logic — just get people booked and rewarded. Pair it with a synthesis template when you also need insights.

Send AI-personalized interview invitations tailored to each candidate's research topic
Log every invited and completed candidate automatically to a Google Sheet for tracking
Deliver thank-you emails with incentive codes the moment an interview is marked complete
Handle both invite and post-interview stages from a single webhook endpoint
Fully configurable scheduling link, product name, and incentive via a Config node — no code edits needed

How it works

Workflow summary

One workflow handles everything end-to-end.

1A webhook receives candidate data including name, email, research topic, and pipeline stage
2The workflow routes the request: 'invite' stage triggers the invitation path; 'complete' (or 'completed') triggers the completion path; anything else is safely ignored
3For invitations: the candidate is logged to Google Sheets and AI generates a personalized invitation email
4The AI-written invitation email is sent to the candidate with the configured scheduling link
5For completions: the candidate is logged as completed in Google Sheets and AI generates a warm thank-you email
6The thank-you email is delivered with the configured incentive code or gift card link

Why this exists

Product teams wanting to run user interviews but unable to surface the right participant cohorts from their own user base, defaulting to expensive panel services instead.

“We have 3,000 users. Surely 20 of them would talk to us. But we have no system to identify who fits our criteria, reach out, and actually get them booked. So we pay Respondent.io $500 every time.”

FAQ

About this template

How long does it take to set up User Interview & Incentive 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 OpenAI?

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.
