Gmail and Grid integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Gmail and Grid and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Communication, HITL, workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Gmail and Grid

Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Gmail and Grid integration: Create a new workflow and add the first step

Form to meeting: Google Calendar, Zoom, Gmail & Slack booking automation

Who’s it for Teams that collect meeting requests via a form and want instant, error-free scheduling: customer success, sales, education, agencies, and community managers. How it works / What it does This workflow ingests a form submission (name, email, preferred date/time), checks Google Calendar for conflicts, and branches automatically. If the slot is free, it creates a calendar event, spins up a Zoom meeting, emails the guest a confirmation, and posts a Slack summary to your team. If busy, it sends a polite “please pick another time” email. Time handling defaults to Asia/Tokyo and converts to ISO internally to keep downstream integrations consistent. How to set up Import the workflow and rename nodes for clarity if needed. Open the Workflow Configuration (Set) node and adjust variables (calendar ID, meeting duration, Slack channel, sender info). Map your form fields in Extract Booking Details. Connect credentials in each service node (Google Calendar, Zoom, Gmail, Slack). Test once with a real submission. Requirements Active accounts and n8n credentials for Google Calendar, Zoom, Gmail, and Slack. A form or webhook source that sends name, email, and a valid datetime. How to customize the workflow Duration & buffers: Change end time calculation in Extract Booking Details. Time zones: If you accept multiple time zones, normalize before building ISO strings. Email copy: Personalize confirmation/alternative-time messages and add attachments if desired. Slack format: Enrich the post with fields (host, Zoom join URL, internal tags). Routing: Add CRM updates or reminders after the “slot free” branch. Security note: No hardcoded API keys in HTTP nodes. Configure all credentials via n8n’s credential manager.

Build your own Gmail and Grid integration

Create custom Gmail and Grid workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

To set up Grid integration, add the HTTP Request node to your workflow canvas and authenticate it using a generic authentication method. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Grid to query the data you need using the API endpoint URLs you provide.

See the example here

Requires additional credentials set up

Use n8n's HTTP Request node with a predefined or generic credential type to make custom API calls.
