Follow up upcoming appointments with Slack and MySQL
Runs on a schedule across Slack, MySQL and Google Sheets, walks the list in batches, pausing between them, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for reminders, around a "Read Pending Queue (MySQL)" step, in 13 documented nodes.
Follow up upcoming appointments with MySQL and Slack on autopilot. 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 Slack, MySQL, Google Sheets. Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. What used to take a morning now runs on its own.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Slack and MySQL in step for reminders, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Slack or MySQL call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 13 nodes in this reminders build
- ✓The pause before Slack is durable — a reminders run survives a restart
- ✓Batches the work so Slack rate limits never break a reminders run
- ✓Fans the same result out to Google Sheets in the same run, for reminders
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and MySQL aligned by hand for reminders
- →Reminders sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Slack
- →A backlog too large to push into Slack in one pass, across 13 nodes
- →Reminders work where "Read Pending Queue (MySQL)" is still a manual step before Slack

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
- •Exiting the sequence when the task is already done
- •Moving data between MySQL, Google Sheets and Slack in a single run
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 (Slack, MySQL, Google Sheets, HTTP / REST API). 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.
