1.1 Workflow description

Title
Predict no-show risk and route reminders with Google Calendar, Sheets, Slack and OpenAI
Workflow name
Predict no-show risk and route reminders with Google Calendar, Sheets, Slack and OpenAI

Who is this for

Business owners and service providers who want to reduce no-show rates for appointments booked via Google Calendar.

What this workflow does

This workflow fetches tomorrow's Google Calendar bookings, looks up each customer's no-show history from Google Sheets, and calculates a risk score (0-100) from four weighted signals. Based on the score, it routes to three automated responses: a Slack alert plus AI re-confirmation email for super high risk, a friendly AI reminder email for high risk, and a silent log for low risk.

Setup

  1. Create a Google Sheets file with a tab named customer_history (columns: customer_email, customer_name, total_bookings, no_show_count, last_booking_date, last_status)
  2. Open the Set Configuration node and fill in your Sheet ID and Slack channel
  3. Connect Google Calendar, Google Sheets, Gmail, Slack, and OpenAI credentials
  4. Activate the workflow

Requirements

  • Google Calendar with appointment bookings
  • Google Sheets for customer history
  • Slack workspace for alerts
  • OpenAI API key (used only for generating email text)
  • Gmail account with OAuth2 access

How to customize

  • Adjust the risk thresholds in Set Configuration (default: 70 for Super High, 40 for High)
  • Edit the AI prompts in Generate Urgent Message and Generate Reminder nodes to match your tone
  • Replace Slack with Discord webhook if preferred

Important note

Risk scoring is 100% rule-based. AI is used only for generating reminder text, never for the risk judgment itself.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/15108/15108.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.
