Follow up upcoming appointments: Outlook & Slack
Runs on a schedule across Outlook, Slack and MySQL, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for reminders, around a "Normalize Booking Payload" step, in 13 documented nodes.
Follow up upcoming appointments with MySQL and Outlook. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Reminders & Follow-ups' pattern for healthcare & wellness. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 13 nodes across Outlook, Slack, MySQL. Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Outlook and Slack in step for reminders, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Outlook or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 13 nodes in this reminders build
- ✓The pause before Outlook is durable — a reminders run survives a restart
- ✓Fans the same result out to MySQL in the same run, for reminders
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 13 nodes for reminders before wiring Outlook
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Outlook and Slack aligned by hand for reminders
- →Reminders sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Outlook
- →Reminders work where "Normalize Booking Payload" is still a manual step before Outlook
- →Reminders work that only reaches Outlook on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

From download to running in 3 steps
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
- 3Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.
What you'll learn
Core levelA compact production shape: validation and error handling without extra machinery.
- •Scheduling time-based follow-ups that survive restarts
- •Computing due dates and windows from timestamps
- •Exiting the sequence when the task is already done
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
What exactly do I get?
The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.
How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (Outlook, Slack, MySQL). No coding is required.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.
Can I modify or resell it?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
