1.1 Workflow description

Title
Re-engage missed property viewings with Google Calendar, Gemini, Gmail, and WhatsApp
Workflow name
Re-engage missed property viewings with Google Calendar, Gemini, Gmail, and WhatsApp

Quick overview

When a buyer misses a scheduled viewing, this workflow automatically sends an AI-personalized follow-up by email and WhatsApp using Google Gemini, then logs the outcome to Google Sheets, recovering leads that would otherwise go cold.

How it works

  1. Triggers every 15 minutes when a Google Calendar event is updated in the selected viewings calendar.
  2. Checks the event title/summary and continues only if it contains the tag “no-show”.
  3. Extracts the lead’s name, email, phone, property address, and scheduled viewing time from the calendar event details.
  4. Sends the lead and viewing context to Google Gemini to generate an email message and a WhatsApp message in JSON format.
  5. Parses and cleans the AI output into safe HTML for email and a trimmed plain-text WhatsApp message.
  6. Sends the re-engagement email via Gmail and appends the follow-up outcome to a Google Sheets log.
  7. If a phone number is available, sends the WhatsApp message and updates a Google Sheets status field to record that WhatsApp was sent.

Setup

  1. Connect credentials for Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Sheets, and a Google Gemini (PaLM) API key.
  2. Select the correct Google Calendar (viewings calendar) and ensure missed appointments are consistently tagged with “no-show” in the event summary.
  3. Create or choose a Google Sheets document and sheet, then fill in the document ID/URL, sheet name, and the columns expected by the append/update logging steps.
  4. Configure WhatsApp credentials in n8n (or disable the WhatsApp branch) and ensure lead phone numbers are stored in the calendar event description in the expected format (e.g., Name: ... | Email: ... | Phone: ... |).

Requirements

  • Before running this workflow, create a Google Sheet with these exact column headers: Record ID | Lead Name | Email | Phone | Property Address | Original Viewing Time | Email Sent | WhatsApp Sent | Email Message Text | WhatsApp Message Text | Timestamp

Customization

  • Edit the AI prompt in "Draft Re-Engagement Messages" to change tone or language
  • Add SMS or other channels by duplicating the WhatsApp branch pattern
  • Adjust the "no-show" tag keyword if your calendar uses different terminology

Additional info

WhatsApp is optional. If you don't have WhatsApp Business Cloud API credentials, disable that branch — the email follow-up will still send normally.

This template assumes calendar events are tagged with "no-show" in the title and include lead contact info in the event description (Name: ... | Email: ... | Phone: ... |).

  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.
