What this workflow does

This AI workflow has 12 nodes and runs when an HTTP POST request hits its webhook URL. Along the way it connects OpenAI Chat Model and Google Calendar. It also calls calendar.zoho.com over HTTP.

How it runs

Trigger: When an HTTP POST request hits its webhook URL.

  1. Parse Event Info (AI Agent): runs an AI agent, with model: Brain; 1 tool (to_UTC); output parser: Structured Output
  2. Good Parse (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
  3. NextCloud Cal Event Creation (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API (PUT)
  4. Fail Response (Respond to Webhook): sends the response back to the webhook caller
  5. Success Response (Respond to Webhook): sends the response back to the webhook caller
  6. Switch: routes items into 2 branches
  7. Create Zoho Event (API) (HTTP Request): calls calendar.zoho.com (POST)
  8. Google Calendar: uses Google Calendar

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0

1 thing in this workflow is removed in n8n 3.0. Fix it before you upgrade:

Rather not rewrite it? Many of these flows can be rebuilt in Make (free plan).

Removed in 3.0Replace with
AI Agent v1 (old agent modes)
Parse Event Info (v1.6)
