How to Auto-Book Meetings From Inbound Replies in n8n

Build an n8n workflow that detects buying intent in replies and books the meeting automatically, plus the one-click PhewDo way.

From trigger to booked meeting, fully automated.

A positive reply is worth nothing if it sits for a day. This workflow reads inbound replies, spots intent and sends a booking link automatically. Here is how to build it in n8n, and the one-click way in PhewDo.

What you are building

Here is the shape of the workflow.

Inbound replyTrigger

A prospect replies to your outreach.

Detect intentOpenAI

The LLM decides if the reply is positive.

Send booking linkCalendar

On positive intent, share your booking link.

Confirm and notifyAction

Confirm the slot and alert the rep.

How to build it in n8n

Intent detection plus a calendar link is the whole play. Four nodes.

  1. Trigger node. Catch replies from email or your channels.
  2. OpenAI node. Classify the reply as positive, neutral or negative.
  3. IF node. Continue only on positive intent.
  4. Calendar node. Send a booking link or propose times.
  5. Confirm node. Log the booking and notify the rep so they show up prepared.

Tone is tricky, so the classifier needs tuning, and time-zone and double-booking handling are extra nodes.
