Step 2: Connect Google Calendar

Pull the next meetings in the next two hours to prepare briefings.

1. Open Fetch Upcoming Meetings.
2. Credential Required: Connect your googleCalendarOAuth2Api credentials.
3. Set Operation to getAll and Limit to 5.
4. Set Time Min to {{ $now.toUTC().plus(1, 'hour').startOf('hour') }} and Time Max to {{ $now.toUTC().plus(2, 'hour').startOf('hour') }}.
5. Select your calendar by replacing [YOUR_ID] in the Calendar field.

Step 3: Set Up Attendee Extraction and Splitting

Extract attendees from the meeting details, then split each attendee into separate items for correspondence lookup.

1. Open Parse Attendee Details and confirm Text uses the template:
   start: {{ $json.start.dateTime }} meeting url: {{ $json.hangoutLink }} summary: {{ $json.summary }} description: {{ $json.description }} organizer: ({{ $json.organizer.email }}) attendees: {{ $json.attendees.filter(item => !item.organizer).map(item => item.email).join(',') }}
2. Ensure the manual Input Schema stays as defined to extract name, email, and linkedin_url.
3. Confirm OpenAI Chat Engine is connected as the language model for Parse Attendee Details; add credentials to OpenAI Chat Engine, not the sub-node.
4. Open Split Attendee Records and set Field To Split Out to output.attendees.
5. Keep the connection flow Parse Attendee Details → Split Attendee Records → Validate Email Presence.

Step 4: Retrieve and Summarize Email Correspondence

This segment finds the most recent email with each attendee, summarizes it, and stores the summary for later use.

1. Open Validate Email Presence and keep the condition where Left Value is {{ $json.email }} with Operation exists.
2. Open Retrieve Latest Correspondence, set Operation to getAll, Limit to 1, and Sender to {{ $json.name }}.
3. Credential Required: Connect your gmailOAuth2 credentials in both Retrieve Latest Correspondence and Fetch Email Body.
4. Open Check Email Results and keep the condition where Left Value is {{ $json }} with Operation notEmpty.
5. Open Fetch Email Body and set Message ID to {{ $json.id }}.
6. Open Normalize Email Fields and verify the assignments use expressions like {{ $json.date }}, {{ $json.subject }}, and {{ $json.text }}.
7. Open Summarize Correspondence and confirm Text uses:
   from: {{ $json.from }} to: {{ $json.to }} date: {{ $json.date }} subject: {{ $json.subject }} text: {{ $json.text }}
8. Confirm OpenAI Recap Engine is connected as the language model for Summarize Correspondence; add credentials to OpenAI Recap Engine, not the sub-node.
9. Open Store Email Summary and set email_summary to {{ $json.text }}.
10. Keep the fallback path from Validate Email Presence to Fallback Email Summary and from Check Email Results to Fallback Empty Summary to avoid empty summaries.

Step 5: Generate the Meeting Brief with AI

Compile meeting details and attendee summaries into a single briefing message.

1. Open Compose Meeting Brief and confirm Text uses the multi-line template referencing Fetch Upcoming Meetings, including expressions like {{ $('Fetch Upcoming Meetings').item.json.start.dateTime }}.
2. Keep the attendee summary block intact, including the fallback message: We have not had any correspondance with ${item.email}.
3. Confirm OpenAI Brief Engine is connected as the language model for Compose Meeting Brief; add credentials to OpenAI Brief Engine, not the sub-node.

Step 6: Configure Slack Delivery

Send the final briefing to a specific Slack user.

1. Open Send Slack Update and set Text to {{ $json.text }}.
2. Credential Required: Connect your slackApi credentials.
3. Select the target user by replacing [YOUR_ID] in the User field.

Step 7: Test and Activate Your Workflow

Verify end-to-end behavior before enabling the hourly trigger.

1. Click Execute Workflow to run a manual test starting from Hourly Schedule Starter.
2. Confirm that Fetch Upcoming Meetings returns events within the next hour window and that Split Attendee Records produces individual attendee items.
3. Verify that email summaries are stored in Store Email Summary and that Compose Meeting Brief produces a single briefing message.
4. Check Slack to confirm Send Slack Update delivers the message to the selected user.
5. Toggle the workflow to Active to enable hourly production runs.
