This n8n template from Intuz provides a complete and automated solution for preparing and delivering context-rich briefings directly to attendees before every meeting.

It acts as an AI-powered executive assistant, gathering relevant information from all your key work tools to ensure everyone arrives prepared and aligned.

Who's this workflow for?

  • Engineering Managers & Team Leads
  • Product Managers & Project Managers
  • Scrum Masters & Agile Coaches
  • Any team that holds regular status, planning, or technical meetings.

How it works

1. Trigger on New Calendar Event: The workflow starts automatically whenever a new meeting is created in a designated Google Calendar.

2. Fetch Previous Context: It immediately connects to Notion to retrieve the notes from the most recent past meeting, ensuring continuity.

3. Wait for the Right Moment: The workflow calculates a time 15 minutes before the meeting's scheduled start and pauses its execution until then.

4. Gather Real-Time Project Data: Just before the meeting, the workflow wakes up and:

  • Extracts keywords from the meeting title.
  • Searches GitHub for recent Pull Requests (PRs) relevant to those keywords.
  • Searches Jira for any tickets or issues that match the meeting's topic.

5. Build the Intelligent Briefing: It assembles all the gathered information—previous notes from Notion, current PRs from GitHub, and relevant tickets from Jira—into a single, beautifully formatted Slack message.

6. Deliver to Each Attendee: The workflow identifies all attendees from the Google Calendar invite, finds their corresponding Slack profiles via email, and sends the personalized briefing as a Direct Message (DM) to each one, ensuring everyone is prepared just in time.

Key Requirements to Use This Template

1. n8n Instance: An active n8n account (Cloud or self-hosted).
2. Google Calendar Account: To trigger the workflow on new events.
3. Notion Account: With a dedicated database for storing meeting notes.
4. GitHub Account: To search for relevant pull requests.
5. Jira Cloud Account: To search for relevant project tickets.
6. Slack Workspace & App: A Slack workspace where you have permission to install an app. You will need a Bot Token with the necessary permissions.

Setup Instructions

Google Calendar Trigger:

  • In the "Capture New Google Calendar Event" node, connect your Google Calendar account and select the calendar you want to monitor.

Slack Configuration (Crucial Step):

  • Set Permissions: In your app's "OAuth & Permissions" settings, add the following Bot
  • Token Scopes: chat:write (to send messages) and users:read.email (this is critical for looking up attendees). Reinstall the app to your workspace.
  • Get Bot Token: Copy the "Bot User OAuth Token" (it starts with xoxb-).
    Connect in n8n:
