Slack Reminder After Calendar Events
Automatically sends a Slack direct message when a Google Calendar event ends, summarizing your next upcoming event or letting you know your schedule is clear.
Send Calendar Event Reminder Via Slack
This workflow automatically sends you a friendly Slack reminder whenever one of your Google Calendar events ends. It checks your upcoming events and lets you know what's next — or if your schedule is clear for the rest of the day.
What It Does
- Detects when a Google Calendar event ends.
- Fetches a list of your upcoming events starting from the current time.
- Uses an AI agent to compose a friendly Slack message summarizing the event that ended and the next upcoming event.
- Sends this message as a direct message to you on Slack.
What You Need
- A Google Calendar account with events
- A Google Calendar API connection configured in Needle
- A Slack workspace with a connection that has permission to send direct messages
- An AI node configured in Needle for composing messages
How the Flow Works
| Node | Description |
|---|---|
| Google Calendar Event Ended (Trigger) | Watches your calendar and fires whenever an event finishes. |
| List Google Calendar Events | Retrieves up to 10 upcoming events starting from now, sorted by start time. |
| AI Message Composer | Takes the list of upcoming events and writes a friendly Slack reminder about the event that just ended and what's coming next. |
| Slack Send Message | Sends the AI-generated message directly to you on Slack. |
Output
At the end of this workflow, you'll receive a Slack direct message letting you know your last event just ended and informing you about your next scheduled event's title and start time. If there are no upcoming events, it will simply tell you your schedule is clear.
Notes
- Make sure your calendar ID and Slack user are correctly specified in the connector configurations.
- The message tone and content can be customized by modifying the prompt in the AI node.
- This setup relies on accurate event end times — events that are modified without actually ending may not trigger notifications immediately.
