Automate Inventory Dates with Google Sheets & Telegram Alerts

Automate Your Inventory Dates with Google Sheets and Telegram Alerts

Boost your operational efficiency by seamlessly managing inventory dates directly from Google Sheets, while receiving real-time Telegram alerts. This powerful n8n workflow automates the synchronization between Google Sheets and Google Calendar, ensuring you never miss a key inventory date again.

What this workflow does

This workflow is designed to ease the burden of managing inventory schedules by automating tedious processes:

• Polls the “Check Inventory” sheet in Google Sheets every hour for updates, ensuring no changes go unnoticed.
• Verifies whether an updated row already has a corresponding Google Calendar Event ID.
• If the Event ID is empty, the workflow searches for existing events with matching details and updates Google Sheets with the appropriate Event ID.
• When no matching event is found, it creates an all-day Google Calendar event using the details from the Google Sheets entry and records the new Event ID back in the sheet.
• For rows with an existing Event ID, the system compares current Google Calendar details with Google Sheets and updates the calendar as needed.
• Sends a summarizing message to a designated Telegram group whenever an event is created or updated, so your team stays informed.
