Remind upcoming appointments: Slack + approval pause
Runs on a schedule across Slack, Google Sheets and Airtable, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for drip campaigns, around a "Normalize Email Payload" step, in 20 documented nodes.
Remind upcoming appointments with Airtable and Twilio. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Reminders & Follow-ups' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 20 nodes across Slack, Google Sheets, 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 Slack and Google Sheets in step for drip campaigns, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Slack or Google Sheets call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 20 nodes in this drip-campaigns build
- ✓The pause before Slack is durable — a drip-campaigns run survives a restart
- ✓Every drip-campaigns run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Slack
- ✓Fans the same result out to Airtable in the same run, for drip campaigns
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Slack and Google Sheets aligned by hand for drip campaigns
- →Drip campaigns sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Slack
- →Drip campaigns work where "Normalize Email Payload" is still a manual step before Slack
- →Drip campaigns work that only reaches Slack on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

From download to running in 3 steps

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 (Slack, Google Sheets, HTTP / REST API, Airtable, …). 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.
