Smart meeting rescheduler: Gmail + Calendar + Sheets automation

Description

Stop losing valuable leads to missed meetings with this No-Show Follow-Up & Rescheduling automation! Whenever a lead is marked as a “no-show” in your CRM or calendar, this workflow automatically sends polite follow-up emails with rescheduling options, tracks responses over 48 hours, and moves unresponsive leads into a nurture sequence—ensuring you recapture lost opportunities with zero manual effort.

What This Template Does

📋 Detects no-show leads from CRM or calendar data 📧 Sends apology + reschedule link via Gmail instantly 🗓 Creates placeholder calendar events for potential rebooking ⏳ Waits 24 hours to check for responses before sending a follow-up 📩 Sends a shorter second follow-up if no reply 🔄 Updates Google Sheets with final booking status 📊 Moves unresponsive leads into nurture campaigns in GoHighLevel or Sheets

Prerequisites

• Google Sheets with lead details (Name, Email, Status, Meeting Date)
• Gmail API credentials for sending follow-ups
• Google Calendar API credentials for creating placeholder events
• GoHighLevel account (for nurture campaigns)

Step-by-Step Setup

• Connect CRM or calendar to detect no-show status updates.
• Trigger Gmail to send apology + reschedule email with booking link.
• Create a Google Calendar placeholder event to hold potential rebookings.
• Add a 24-hour delay node to wait for responses.

Customization Ideas
