Case Study
The system needed to streamline calendar management for individuals and teams through chat-based inputs. It required integrating natural language understanding, validating ambiguous inputs, and executing actions via Google Calendar—all in real time. The solution also had to support secure authentication, event logging, and multi-user scalability.
The Josh Edge
Leveraging our expertise in workflow orchestration and AI integration, we built an extensible n8n-based system that automates calendar management directly from chat. Here’s what we implemented:
Chat-Driven Automation Flow: Built a workflow that listens to calendar-related messages from chat platforms and triggers corresponding calendar actions.
AI-Powered Command Parsing (Optional): Used LLMs like GPT-4 or Claude to convert natural language inputs (“Book team sync next Thursday at 4pm”) into structured commands.
Google Calendar Integration: Enabled core operations—create, list, update, delete—mapped directly from parsed inputs to Google Calendar API endpoints.
Real-Time Confirmation & Feedback: Sent immediate confirmations, updates, or reminders back to users via chat, creating a conversational scheduling experience.
Audit Logging & Extensibility: Added optional nodes to log every interaction in a database or Google Sheet, and made the flow extensible to include approvals, multi-language support, or Zoom/Teams integration.
Deliver Real Value
Conversational Scheduling: Enabled users to manage calendar events directly from chat without opening any UI.
Real-Time Workflow Execution: Triggered calendar actions instantly based on chat inputs and confirmed them via the same platform.
Extensible & Modular Architecture: Easily integrated additional features like approvals, reminders, summaries, and video conferencing links.
Auditable & Transparent: Every command and result could be logged for compliance and review.
