What You Need to Configure
- Connect your Gmail and Google Sheets credentials in n8n.
- Set your Google Sheets document ID and keep the Invoice Reminders sheet available.
- Create the Lemon Squeezy webhook and select the subscription payment events used by your account.
- Add Lemon Squeezy webhook signature verification before production use.
Test Instructions
Import the template, connect credentials, send a test webhook payload for a supported event, and confirm the router sends failed payments to the three-day wait path while recovered and successful events go directly to their logging paths. Verify the resulting Google Sheets rows before activating production traffic.
Import & Customize
Import the JSON into n8n, reconnect your credentials, set your Google Sheet, review the email content and event names, then test with your own Lemon Squeezy payloads. Keep the workflow inactive until the production checks are complete.

The first run stores a baseline; later runs can report detected changes.
Important: Keep the workflow inactive until you review the target URL, API limits, and notification destination.
