This n8n workflow automates the process of generating Google Meet links and sharing them via Slack in response to a custom slash command. The workflow begins when a Slack slash command (/meet) triggers a webhook. It then guides the user through setup notes and proceeds to create a temporary Google Calendar event with a Google Meet link. Subsequently, it sends the generated link back to the Slack channel, allowing participants to join the meeting instantly. Finally, the workflow cleans up by deleting the temporary calendar event.
This automation is ideal for teams or individuals who need quick, on-demand virtual meeting links without manual calendar management. It streamlines scheduling and ensures seamless communication through Slack, enhancing productivity especially in remote or distributed teams.
**Step-by-step workflow breakdown:**
1. The process is triggered via a Slack slash command linked to a webhook.
2. Setup notes are provided within sticky notes for configuring Slack app, Google authentication, and account selection.
3. The workflow authenticates with Google Calendar and creates a new event equipped with a Google Meet link.
4. The Google Meet link is extracted from the created event and sent as a message in Slack, informing users to join via the link.
5. After sharing, the temporarily created calendar event is deleted to keep the calendar tidy.
This setup offers a practical solution for rapid meeting setups, useful in scenarios requiring frequent, ad-hoc virtual meetings communicated through Slack.
