It also uses n8n's wait for approval feature which allows the ability to confirm appointment requests and create events in Google Calendar.\n\n### How it works\n* We start with a form trigger which asks for the purpose of the appointment.\n* Instantly, we can qualify this by using a text classifier node which uses AI's contextual understanding to ensure the appointment is worthwhile. If not, an alternative is suggested instead.\n* Multi-page forms are then used to set the terms of the appointment and ask the user for a desired date and time.\n* An acknowledgement is sent to the user while an approval by email process is triggered in the background.\n* In a subworkflow, we use Gmail with the wait for approval operation to send an approval form to the admin user who can either confirm or decline the appointment request.\n* When approved, a Google Calendar event is created. When declined, the user is notified  via email that the appointment request was declined.\n\n### Need Help?\nJoin the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/XPKeKXeB7d) or ask in the [Forum](https://community.n8n.io/)!\n\nHappy Hacking!\n"}, "typeVersion": 1}, {"id": "d3c87dfa-d6e5-402a-89e5-6d8f93b824a6", "name": "Sticky Note", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [299, -280], "parameters": {"width": 177.66444188722656, "height": 257.56869965477557, "content": "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n### \ud83d\udea8 Set your admin email here!"}, "typeVersion": 1}, {"id": "6351121d-6ebe-432d-b370-13296fd58e1a", "name": "Enquiry Classifier", "type": "@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.textClassifier", "position": [-2340, -280], "parameters": {"options": {"fallback": "other"}, "inputText": "={{ $json.Enquiry }}", "categories": {"categories": [{"category": "relevant enquiry", "description": "Enquire about AI, automation, digital products and product engineering."}]}}, "typeVersion": 1}], "pinData": {}, "connections": {"Send Receipt": {"main": [[{"node": "Form End", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Has Accepted?": {"main": [[{"node": "Enter Date & Time", "type": "main", "index": 0}], [{"node": "Decline1", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Has Approval?": {"main": [[{"node": "Create Appointment", "type": "main", "index": 0}], [{"node": "Send Rejection", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Get Form Values": {"main": [[{"node": "Trigger Approval Process", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "n8n Form Trigger": {"main": [[{"node": "Enquiry Classifier", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Enter Date & Time": {"main": [[{"node": "Get Form Values", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "OpenAI Chat Model": {"ai_languageModel": [[{"node": "Enquiry Classifier", "type": "ai_languageModel", "index": 0}]]}, "Summarise Enquiry": {"main": [[{"node": "Wait for Approval", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Wait for Approval": {"main": [[{"node": "Has Approval?", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Enquiry Classifier": {"main": [[{"node": "Terms & Conditions", "type": "main", "index": 0}], [{"node": "Decline", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "OpenAI Chat Model1": {"ai_languageModel": [[{"node": "Summarise Enquiry", "type": "ai_languageModel", "index": 0}]]}, "Terms & Conditions": {"main": [[{"node": "Has Accepted?", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Execute Workflow Trigger": {"main": [[{"node": "Summarise Enquiry", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Trigger Approval Process": {"main": [[{"node": "Send Receipt", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}}}
