Remind upcoming appointments: Google Sheets + sub-workflow
Runs on a schedule across Google Sheets, Microsoft Teams and Slack, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for inbox triage, around a "Slot Free?" step, in 30 documented nodes.
Remind upcoming appointments with Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Reminders & Follow-ups' pattern for marketing & advertising. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 30 nodes across Google Sheets, Microsoft Teams, Slack. 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 Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams in step for inbox triage, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or Microsoft Teams are skipped, across all 30 nodes of this inbox-triage build
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Microsoft Teams call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 30 nodes in this inbox-triage build
- ✓Bad input stops the run for inbox triage instead of landing in Google Sheets
- ✓The pause before Google Sheets is durable — a inbox-triage run survives a restart
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams aligned by hand for inbox triage
- →Inbox triage sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Google Sheets
- →Inbox triage work where "Slot Free?" is still a manual step before Google Sheets
- →Inbox triage work that only reaches Google Sheets 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.

What you'll learn
Architect levelThe deepest tier - sub-workflow delegation, state snapshots, and full observability.
- •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, Microsoft Teams, Slack, 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.
