Automate Your Daily Meetings With Google Calendar & Slack
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your day by automatically receiving a daily digest of your Google Calendar meetings directly in Slack. Never miss an appointment again with this efficient automation.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow elegantly bridges Google Calendar and Slack to enhance your daily productivity. It begins by fetching all events from your specified Google Calendar. Simultaneously, it captures the current date and day of the week. The workflow then processes your calendar events, extracting essential details like the event name, start date, Google Calendar URL, location, and start time. It intelligently converts these dates and times to your preferred timezone and format. Finally, it compiles a concise, actionable message listing your day's meetings and their times, and sends it directly to a designated Slack channel, ensuring you're always prepared for your schedule.
Key Features
- Automatic Daily Meeting Digest: Receive a curated list of your scheduled meetings directly in Slack each morning.
- Intelligent Date & Time Conversion: Dates and times are automatically formatted and adjusted to your specified timezone (Asia/Qatar in this example).
- Key Event Information Extraction: Pulls essential details like event name, date, time, location, and the direct Google Calendar link.
- Scheduled Trigger: Configurable to run at a specific time each day (e.g., 6 AM) to prepare you for the day ahead.
- Seamless Slack Integration: Delivers your meeting information directly to a chosen Slack channel for easy access.
How To Use
- Cron Node: Configure the 'Cron' node to set the trigger time for your daily meeting digest (e.g.,
hour: 6for 6 AM). - Google Calendar Node: Connect your Google Calendar account and specify the calendar you wish to pull events from. Ensure the operation is set to 'getAll' and 'returnAll' is true.
- Function Node: This node captures the current date and day of the week using JavaScript.
- Date & Time Nodes: Use these nodes to format the start date of your calendar events and the current date to your preferred format and timezone (e.g., 'DD/MM/YYYY' for 'Asia/Qatar').
- Set Nodes: The first 'Set' node extracts and renames key event details (Name, Event Date, Gcal URL, Location, Start Time). The second 'Set' node further refines the extracted information for Slack (Name, Time, URL).
- Merge Node: This node merges the data from your Google Calendar events and the current day's information.
- IF Node: This node acts as a filter, ensuring only events matching today's date are processed further.
- Function1 Node: This node constructs the final message to be sent to Slack, iterating through the processed event data.
- Slack Node: Connect your Slack account and specify the channel (e.g., 'virtual-assistant') where you want to receive the meeting digest. The message content is dynamically populated from the preceding 'Function1' node.
