How to connect Postgres and Salesforce

Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Postgres and Salesforce integration: Create a new workflow and add the first step

Automate B2B SaaS renewal risk management with CRM, support & usage data

Description This workflow is designed for B2B/SaaS teams who want to secure renewals before it’s too late. It runs every day, identifies all accounts whose licenses are up for renewal in J–30, enriches them with CRM, product usage and support data, computes an internal churn risk level, and then triggers the appropriate playbook: HIGH risk → full escalation (tasks, alerts, emails) MEDIUM risk → proactive follow-up by Customer Success LOW risk → light renewal touchpoint / monitoring Everything is logged into a database table so that you can build dashboards, run analysis, or plug additional automations on top. How it works image.png Daily detection (J–30 renewals) A scheduled trigger runs every morning and queries your database (Postgres / Supabase) to fetch all active subscriptions expiring in 30 days. Each row includes the account identifier, name, renewal date and basic commercial data. Data enrichment across tools For each account, the workflow calls several business systems to collect context: HubSpot → engagement history Salesforce → account profile and segment Pipedrive → deal activities and associated products Analytics API → product feature usage and activity trends Zendesk → recent support tickets and potential friction signals All of this is merged into a single, unified item. Churn scoring & routing An internal scoring step evaluates the risk for each account based on multiple signals (engagement, usage, support, timing). The workflow then categorizes each account into one of three risk levels: HIGH – strong churn signals → needs immediate attention MEDIUM – some warning signs → needs proactive follow-up LOW – looks healthy → light renewal reminder A Switch node routes each account to the relevant playbook. Automated playbooks 🔴 HIGH risk Create a Trello card on a dedicated “High-Risk Renewals” board/list Create a Jira ticket for the CS / AM team Send a Slack alert in a designated channel Send a detailed email to the CSM and/or account manager 🟠 MEDIUM risk Create a Trello card in a “Renewals – Follow-up” list Send a contextual email to the CSM to recommend a proactive check-in 🟢 LOW risk Send a soft renewal email / internal note to keep the account on the radar Logging & daily reporting For every processed account, the workflow prepares a structured log record (account, renewal date, risk level, basic context). A Postgres node is used to insert the data into a churn_logs table. At the end of each run, all processed accounts are aggregated and a daily summary email is sent (for example to the Customer Success leadership team), listing the renewals and their risk levels. Requirements Database A table named churn_logs (or equivalent) to store workflow decisions and history. Example fields: account_id, account_name, end_date, riskScore, riskLevel, playbook, trello_link, jira_link, timestamp. External APIs HubSpot (engagement data) Salesforce (account profile) Pipedrive (deals & products) Zendesk (support tickets) Optional: product analytics API for usage metrics Communication & task tools Gmail (emails to CSM / AM / summary recipients) Slack (alert channel for high-risk cases) Trello (task creation for CS follow-up) Jira (escalation tickets for high-risk renewals) Configuration variables Thresholds are configured in the Init config & thresholds node: days_before_renewal churn_threshold_high churn_threshold_medium These parameters let you adapt the detection window and risk sensitivity to your own business rules. Typical use cases Customer Success teams who want a daily churn watchlist without exporting spreadsheets. RevOps teams looking to standardize renewal playbooks across tools. SaaS companies who need to prioritize renewals based on real risk signals rather than gut feeling. Product-led organizations that want to combine usage data + CRM + support into one automated process.
