Production readiness
Production workflow controls
Use these controls when a workflow needs to stay stable after launch, not just pass a happy-path test.
01
Retry failed API calls
Automatically retry temporary failures before a run is marked as failed.
02
Handle 429 / rate-limit responses
Pause, back off, and continue the workflow safely when an upstream API throttles requests.
03
Add fallback branches for missing fields
Route incomplete payloads into a safe branch instead of letting the main scenario break.
04
Prevent duplicates with lookup-before-create logic
Check whether a record already exists before creating a new one in the destination system.
05
Use JavaScript to normalize dates, phone numbers, tags, and statuses
Clean and standardize values before mapping them into downstream fields.
06
Store execution logs for debugging
Keep a trace of what happened in every run so production issues are easier to inspect.
07
Route failed runs to email or a database
Notify the team or save failures for follow-up when a run cannot complete successfully.
08
Manually rerun failed executions
Replay a failed run after the issue is fixed without rebuilding the scenario from scratch.

Gmail + Google Sheets workflows
One-click templates — customise in minutes, no code required.
Scrape competitors' affiliate data, analyze threats, sync to Sheets & Slack
This template runs twice a day, opens the affiliate URLs you list, scores each competitor from the commercial terms on the page, and writes a row to Google Sheets. High-threat rows post to Slack; you can also email a short digest. Connect Google Sheets, Slack, and Gmail, then put the competitor URLs in the headless-browser start list.

Automate invoice data extraction and sync to Google Sheets
This template turns inbound invoice email into spreadsheet rows. Gmail starts the run when a message lands on the invoices label you choose. Latenode downloads the attachment, OCR Space reads the text, and ChatGPT returns invoice number, supplier, and totals. Google Sheets appends the row, then Gmail labels the message as processed. Connect Gmail, OCR Space, and Google Sheets. Put the OCR Space API key on the OCR Space connection.

Automatically sync Google Analytics data to a Google Sheets report
This template runs on a weekly schedule, asks Google Analytics for page engagement, search, and country metrics for this week and the week before, and uses JavaScript to line those numbers up. Google Sheets stores the rows. Gmail sends the same summary to the address you choose. Connect Google Analytics, Google Sheets, and Gmail, then pick the property and the spreadsheet.
