Ready-made Workflow
Collect new Hacker News stories in Google Sheets
Choose a local Hacker News connection name and a Google Sheets spreadsheet and worksheet. Columns A through D receive the item ID, title, author and discussion URL. The first poll records the current new-story feed without importing its backlog. Later polls pick up newly listed IDs. Posting bursts can exceed the finite feed window; this is a monitoring workflow, not a historical archive.

Yes. The copied Workflow is an editable Draft. Review every Step, input, mapping, and route before you activate it.
What is copied into my workspace?
FastHook recreates the Trigger configuration, Action Steps, routes, and mappings with new IDs. Provider accounts, credentials, and secrets are never copied.
When does the Workflow start running?
Only after you connect the required accounts, finish the configuration, and explicitly activate the Draft.
