1.1 Workflow description

Title

Workflow name
Daylight saving time notification for different timezones

Who is it for? If you are having a lot of meetings as a project manager, CFO, CTO, CEO or any other role that requires handling many meetings, AND you are working with people in different timezones, you may have noticed that it is not uncommon that daylight savings time change day may differ from timezone to timezone. This may be very troublesome at times.

If DST change day differs between timezones, then you might need to adjust your meetings time accordingly. And this happens twice a year. So it's good to get notification beforehand (at least a day before).

This automation will notify you if tomorrow you can expect DST in any zone you provide.

How It Works?

  • Script runs daily and loops through provided timezones
  • Checks if there is DST change to or from the tomorrow (if you want to be notified sooner, just adjust number of days)
  • If there is DST change, script provides you with Slack notification (replace with email if needed)

How to set up?

  • Add and/or edit timezones you want to monitor in "Timezones List" node
  • Adjust "Calculate Tomorrow's Date" if you want to be notified sooner than 1 day before DST change
  • Adjust "Send Notification on Upcoming Change" to set where on Slack you want to be notified

And that's it. Hope that you won't miss any other meeting because of DST!

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/3276/3276.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
