Automate Your Daily Briefing with Google Calendar and Slack
detail.loadingPreview
This workflow automatically fetches your daily Google Calendar events and sends a concise meeting summary to your Slack channel. Stay organized and never miss an important appointment.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow revolutionizes your daily routine by seamlessly integrating Google Calendar and Slack. At a scheduled time each morning (defaulting to 6 AM), it retrieves all events from your specified Google Calendar. It then processes these events, extracting key details like event name, start date, and the direct Google Calendar link. Crucially, it compares event dates with the current day, ensuring only relevant meetings are included. Finally, it formats this information into a clear, actionable message and delivers it directly to a designated Slack channel, providing you with a personalized daily briefing to kickstart your day.
Key Features
- Scheduled Daily Briefings: Automatically sends your meeting schedule every morning.
- Google Calendar Integration: Connects to your existing Google Calendar to pull event data.
- Intelligent Event Filtering: Only includes events scheduled for the current day.
- Customizable Timezone Handling: Ensures dates and times are displayed correctly for your timezone (Asia/Qatar in this example).
- Slack Notifications: Delivers your daily briefing directly to a Slack channel for easy access.
How To Use
- Connect Google Calendar: Configure the
Google Calendarnode with your Google account credentials and specify the calendar to monitor. - Set Trigger Time: Adjust the
Cronnode to set the desired time for the daily briefing (e.g.,hour: 6for 6 AM). - Define Today's Date: The
Functionnode captures the current date and day of the week. - Format Event Dates: Use the
Date & Timenodes to convert Google Calendar event start times and today's date into a comparable format (e.g.,DD/MM/YYYY) and to the desired timezone. - Extract Event Details: The first
Setnode extracts and names key event information like the event summary, start date, URL, location, and start time. - Merge Data: The
Mergenode combines the processed calendar events with the current day's information. - Filter for Today's Events: The
IFnode checks if the event date matches today's date. - Prepare for Slack: The second
Setnode (activated by theIFnode) refines the event name and time for the Slack message. - Format Time: The
Date & Time2node formats the event start time intoHH:mmformat. - Construct Slack Message: The
Function1node generates the final message string for Slack, including event names, times, and URLs. - Send to Slack: Configure the
Slacknode with your Slack account credentials and the desired channel (e.g.,virtual-assistant) to receive the daily meeting summary.
