Send pre-meeting Slack briefings using Google Calendar, Notion, GitHub, and Jira

Quick overview This n8n template 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. 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: 5. Extracts keywords from the meeting title. 6. Searches GitHub for recent Pull Requests (PRs) relevant to those keywords. 7. Searches Jira for any tickets or issues that match the meeting’s topic. 8. 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. 9. 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.
