Onboard new hires: Outlook
Fires the moment a webhook arrives across Outlook, Google Calendar and Slack, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for standups, around a "Normalize Task Payload" step, in 14 documented nodes.
Onboard new hires with Google Calendar and Outlook for your team. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Onboarding Sequence' pattern for software development & devops. It fires on a webhook and orchestrates 14 nodes across Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack. Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. The result is a hands-off process that just works.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Outlook and Google Calendar in step for standups, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Outlook or Google Calendar call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 14 nodes in this standups build
- ✓The pause before Outlook is durable — a standups run survives a restart
- ✓Fans the same result out to Slack in the same run, for standups
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 14 nodes for standups before wiring Outlook
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Outlook and Google Calendar aligned by hand for standups
- →Standups sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Outlook
- →Pushing standups events into Outlook and Google Calendar the moment they land, not on the next poll
- →Standups work where "Normalize Task Payload" is still a manual step before Outlook

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.

What you'll learn
Core levelA compact production shape: validation and error handling without extra machinery.
- •Staging a multi-step onboarding with waits between steps
- •Branching by segment
- •Moving data between Google Calendar, Outlook 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 (Outlook, Google Calendar, 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.
