Send a daily summary of your Google Calendar events to Slack

n8n template #1277

Summary

This workflow will trigger daily at 6am to retrieve your day's calendar events from Google Calendar and send them as a summary message to Slack. I've used a low-code method to filter the dates as I can't code much in JSON :) Contact me on https://twitter.com/samiabid if you have any questions!

How to set it up

Open template #1277 on n8n.io and click Use for free, or copy the template JSON and paste it onto an empty canvas in n8n.
Create 2 credentials under Credentials → Add credential: Slack, Google Calendar. Then open each of those nodes and pick the credential.
Click Execute workflow and step through each node's output to confirm the data looks right.
Toggle the workflow to Active so its trigger runs on its own.
