Follow up upcoming appointments for contact sync
Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets, MySQL and Slack, walks the list in batches, pausing between them, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for contact sync, around a "Read Pending Queue (MySQL)" step, in 23 documented nodes.
Follow up upcoming appointments with MySQL and Outlook 24/7. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Reminders & Follow-ups' pattern for sales & CRM. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 23 nodes across Google Sheets, MySQL, HTTP / REST API. Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. Your team sees the right data at the right time.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Google Sheets and MySQL in step for contact sync, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or MySQL are skipped, across all 23 nodes of this contact-sync build
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or MySQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 23 nodes in this contact-sync build
- ✓Bad input stops the run for contact sync instead of landing in Google Sheets
- ✓The pause before Google Sheets is durable — a contact-sync run survives a restart
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and MySQL aligned by hand for contact sync
- →Contact sync sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Google Sheets
- →A backlog too large to push into Google Sheets in one pass, across 23 nodes
- →Contact sync work where "Read Pending Queue (MySQL)" is still a manual step before Google Sheets

What's inside (23 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
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
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •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 (Google Sheets, MySQL, HTTP / REST API, Slack, …). 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.
