Remind upcoming appointments with Gmail
Runs on a schedule across Gmail, Slack and Notion, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for calendar sync, around a "Normalize Booking Payload" step, in 13 documented nodes.
Remind upcoming appointments with Notion and Gmail end to end. 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 Gmail, Slack, Notion. 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 Gmail and Slack in step for calendar sync, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Gmail or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 13 nodes in this calendar-sync build
- ✓The pause before Gmail is durable — a calendar-sync run survives a restart
- ✓Fans the same result out to Notion in the same run, for calendar sync
- ✓Pinned sample data ships with it — run all 13 nodes for calendar sync before wiring Gmail
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Gmail and Slack aligned by hand for calendar sync
- →Calendar sync sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Gmail
- →Calendar sync work where "Normalize Booking Payload" is still a manual step before Gmail
- →Calendar sync work that only reaches Gmail on a schedule, when someone remembers to start it

From download to running in 3 steps

What you'll learn
Core levelA compact production shape: validation and error handling without extra machinery.
- •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 (Gmail, Slack, Notion). 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.
