Overview
📩
This n8n automation sends a personalized email to the person who booked a meeting via Calendly. It uses an AI agent to craft a helpful, human-sounding HTML email that includes your fake phone number (111-111-1111) and the meeting date.
📌 What This Workflow Does
- Triggers when someone books a meeting in Calendly (
invitee.createdevent). - Extracts user details like name, email, reason for meeting, and scheduled time.
- Uses OpenAI to generate a custom email response based on what the user shared.
- Sends the email to the user using Microsoft Outlook.
⚙️ Step-by-Step Setup Instructions
1. 🔗 Calendly API Setup
- Go to Credentials → Add Credential → Calendly API in n8n.
- Authenticate with your Calendly personal access token.
- Set your Calendly Trigger node to listen for
invitee.createdevents.
2. 📧 Microsoft Outlook Setup
- Add credentials via Microsoft Outlook OAuth2 in n8n.
- Select the credential in the "Send a message" node.
- This node will send an HTML-formatted response to the user's email.
3. 🤖 OpenAI AI Agent
- Add your OpenAI key under Credentials → OpenAI API.
- The AI Agent prompt is already pre-configured to:
- Generate an HTML email
- Mention how you can help
- Include the user's question, meeting date, and your placeholder phone number (
111-111-1111)
