Start your day with a clear agenda in Slack. At a set time each morning, today’s Google Calendar events are gathered and posted to a shared channel. Teams and managers use it to see meetings and links in one place without opening their calendar.

A schedule trigger runs at 6 AM and pulls all events from Google Calendar. Times are converted to the Asia Qatar timezone and dates are formatted so they match. A check keeps only items that happen today. The Merge step attaches today’s date to each event, and Set steps map clean fields like name, time, and link. Another time format step outputs HH:mm for easy reading. A message builder creates a simple list and posts it to the Slack channel you choose.

You only need a Google account with calendar access and a Slack workspace. Expect one message per day that lists today’s meetings with times and direct calendar links. It fits daily standups, client call prep, and remote teams that plan their day in Slack. Most teams save several minutes each morning and avoid missed meetings due to copy errors or timezone confusion.

1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
2. You'll need accounts with Google Calendar and Slack. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
3. Open the Google Calendar node. In the Credential to connect with field, click Create new credential and follow the on screen steps to sign in with your Google account and grant read access to Calendar.
4. In the Google Calendar node, choose the correct calendar to read events from and keep the operation as Get All.
5. Open the Slack node. In the Credential to connect with field, click Create new credential and follow the on screen steps to authorize your Slack workspace and allow message posting.
6. Select the Slack channel where the message should be posted or change it to your own channel name.
7. Open each Date and Time node and confirm the timezone. Keep Asia Qatar or switch to your team’s timezone so dates and times match your location.
8. Open the Cron node and set the hour you want the post to send. Remember Cron uses the server time, so align this with your chosen timezone formatting.
9. Click Execute Workflow to run a test. Check Slack for a list of today’s meetings. If the list is empty, add a test event for today and run again.
10. If times look wrong, adjust the timezone fields in the Date and Time nodes. If no message posts, verify Slack permissions and confirm the IF step compares the same date format for event date and today’s date.
