Demo Scheduling System
Clients book live demos via a form that checks Outlook availability, generates a unique Zoom link.
What it does
Book live product demos instantly by submitting a form that automatically checks your Outlook availability and generates a unique Zoom link. This process prevents double-booking while sending immediate confirmation details to you and the client.
Step by step
- Configure the HTTP request node to send a POST payload with client details and requested time slots to the availability check endpoint.
- Use the code node to parse the JSON response from Outlook, filtering out slots that return a conflict status of true.
- Trigger the Zoom API create meeting action using the selected slot's start and end times as parameters.
Where the LLM does the work
- Generate personalized confirmation email text that incorporates the client's name and specific demo topic for a more engaging experience.
- Draft error messages for users when no slots are available, ensuring the tone remains helpful and offers alternative contact methods.
- Create dynamic subject lines for calendar invites that include the product name and date to improve open rates.
Watch out for
Timezone mismatches between Outlook and Zoom can cause scheduling errors so always normalize timestamps to UTC before processing.
Outlook calendar conflicts might be missed if the availability check does not account for all-day events so include a broad time range search.
Double bookings can occur if two requests hit simultaneously so implement a locking mechanism or use Outlook's EWS find operation with exclusive access.

The agent brief
Everything your agent needs, including the gotchas. Copy it and go.
You are helping me build the following AI agent workflow. ## Goal Demo Scheduling System: Clients book live demos via a form that checks Outlook availability, generates a unique Zoom link. ## Specification - What it does: Book live product demos instantly by submitting a form that automatically checks your Outlook availability and generates a unique Zoom link. This process prevents double-booking while sending immediate confirmation details to you and the client. - Trigger: Triggered by an event (Event · on form submission) - Autonomy: Fully hands-off - Expected setup effort: about an afternoon - Tools/services involved: - n8n: Workflow orchestration and form hosting - Microsoft Outlook: Calendar availability checking and invite creation - Zoom: Generating meeting links ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation 1. Timezone mismatches between Outlook and Zoom can cause scheduling errors so always normalize timestamps to UTC before processing. 2. Outlook calendar conflicts might be missed if the availability check does not account for all-day events so include a broad time range search. 3. Double bookings can occur if two requests hit simultaneously so implement a locking mechanism or use Outlook's EWS find operation with exclusive access. ## Reference implementation https://n8n.io/workflows/8456 (workflow template) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different Automation Platform than n8n?
Yes. n8n is only the example automation platform in this recipe. The same flow works with Home Assistant. Swap the automation platform connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.
Want this running in your business?
This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.
Who it's for
Built for founders and execs who need sales handled without hiring for it.
Sales teams can plug this into their own CRM and call cadence just as easily.
