🛠 How It Works

The Daily Calendar Brief is an automated n8n workflow designed to prep you each morning with a rich, executive-style email summary of your day. It pulls data from your calendar, email, and external contact sources to deliver a contextualized, prioritized briefing.

1. Daily Trigger

Runs every weekday morning at 7:00 AM using a schedule node.

2. Calendar Parsing

Grabs all Google Calendar events for the day and extracts details like: • Event title, time, and duration • Full attendee list • Meeting description

3. Attendee Intelligence

Filters for external attendees and: • Scrapes recent email threads with them • Uses Hunter and LinkedIn to enrich attendee info with roles, bios, locations, and recent activity

4. Brief Assembly

Combines: • Event metadata • Attendee research • Recent conversations

5. Email Delivery

Renders the Markdown as HTML and sends a polished email to your inbox with: • Meeting timeline & attendees • Key takeaways & extra context • Conflicts & FYIs
