Step 2: Connect Google Calendar and Define Source Parameters

Define your RSS and weather sources, then pull today’s calendar events from Google Calendar.

1. Open Setup Parameters and add two string fields: rssUrl set to https://news.google.com/rss?hl=ja&gl=JP&ceid=JP:ja and weatherApiUrl set to https://wttr.in/Tokyo?format=j1.
2. Ensure Include Other Fields is set to true in Setup Parameters.
3. Open Retrieve Daily Calendar and set Operation to getAll, Limit to 10, Time Min to ={{ $now.startOf('day') }}, and Time Max to ={{ $now.endOf('day') }}.
4. Select your calendar in Retrieve Daily Calendar (the value should replace YOUR_CALENDAR_ACCOUNT).
5. Credential Required: Connect your googleCalendarOAuth2Api credentials in Retrieve Daily Calendar.

Setup Parameters outputs to both Retrieve Daily Calendar and Fetch Weather Outlook and Pull RSS Headlines in parallel.

Step 3: Configure Weather and RSS Retrieval

Fetch external weather data and RSS headlines using the URLs defined earlier.

1. Open Fetch Weather Outlook and set URL to ={{ $('Setup Parameters').first().json.weatherApiUrl }}.
2. Confirm Response Format is JSON in Fetch Weather Outlook.
3. Open Pull RSS Headlines and set URL to ={{ $('Setup Parameters').first().json.rssUrl }}.
4. Connect both nodes to Combine Data Streams alongside Retrieve Daily Calendar.

Step 4: Set Up Data Merge and Briefing Composition

Merge all three data sources, then build the Slack message text.

1. Open Combine Data Streams and set Number of Inputs to 3.
2. Connect Combine Data Streams to Compose Briefing Text.
3. In Compose Briefing Text, add a string field named briefingMessage with the full template value from the workflow: =*📅 Daily Morning Briefing* \n\n*📆 今日の予定*\n{{ $('Retrieve Daily Calendar').all().length > 0 ? $('Retrieve Daily Calendar').all().map(event => '• ' + event.json.summary + ' - ' + new Date(event.json.start.dateTime).toLocaleTimeString('ja-JP', { hour: '2-digit', minute: '2-digit' })).join('\\n') : '今日の予定はありません' }}\n\n*🌤️ 天気予報*\n• {{ $('Fetch Weather Outlook').first().json.current_condition[0].weatherDesc[0].value }} / 気温: {{ $('Fetch Weather Outlook').first().json.current_condition[0].temp_C }}°C\n\n*📰 トップニュース*\n{{ $('Pull RSS Headlines').all().length > 0 ? $('Pull RSS Headlines').all().slice(0, 3).map(article => '• <' + article.json.link + '|' + article.json.title + '>').join('\\n') : 'ニュースはありません' }}.
4. Ensure Include Other Fields is set to true in Compose Briefing Text.

⚠️ Common Pitfall: If you change any field names or node names, the expressions in Compose Briefing Text will break. Keep the exact node names: Retrieve Daily Calendar, Fetch Weather Outlook, and Pull RSS Headlines.

Step 5: Configure Slack Delivery

Send the briefing text to your Slack channel.

1. Open Dispatch Slack Update and set Text to ={{ $('Compose Briefing Text').first().json.briefingMessage }}.
2. Set Select to channel and choose your target Channel ID.
3. Ensure Authentication is set to oAuth2.
4. Credential Required: Connect your Slack OAuth2 credentials in Dispatch Slack Update.

Step 6: Test and Activate Your Workflow

Run a manual test to validate the full briefing, then activate the schedule for daily delivery.

1. Click Execute Workflow to run a manual test from Scheduled Morning Kickoff.
2. Verify that Dispatch Slack Update posts a formatted message containing calendar events, weather, and top headlines.
3. If the Slack message is incomplete, review the expressions in Compose Briefing Text and the URLs in Setup Parameters.
4. Toggle the workflow to Active so it runs every morning at 7.
