Instant, automated scheduling. This AI Scheduling Agent manages real-time appointments, availability checks, and rescheduling across Google Calendar and Sheets, eliminating human hold times. ๐ฏ Problem Statement Traditional call center or online booking systems often lack the flexibility to handle complex, multi-step customer requests like rescheduling, checking dynamic availability across multiple time slots, or handling context-aware conversational booking. This leads to friction, missed bookings, and high administrative overhead for service companies like HVAC providers. โจ Solution This workflow deploys a sophisticated AI Scheduling Agent that acts as a virtual receptionist. It uses the Language Model's (LLM) "tool-use" capability to intelligently execute complex, sequential business logic (e.g., check availability before booking, find existing events before rescheduling) and manages the entire lifecycle of a service appointment, from initial inquiry to final confirmation. โ๏ธ How It Works (Multi-Step Execution) Trigger: A customer request (e.g., from an external voice or text platform) hits the Webhook Trigger with intent details (e.g., tool\_request: 'reschedule\_appointment'). Agent Logic: The Receptionist Agent uses a strict system prompt and its internal tools to formulate an execution plan. It maintains conversational state via the simple-memory node. Tool Execution (Example: Reschedule): The Agent executes a predefined sequence of private tools: find\_old\_event: Locates the existing booking ID using the customer's email. check\_calendar: Verifies the proposed new time is available (2-hour window). reschedule\_appointment: Updates the calendar event. log\_lead: Updates the central Google Sheet. Synchronous Response: The Agent sends a confirmation or follow-up question via the respond\_to\_webhook node. Asynchronous Confirmation: The log\_lead action triggers a secondary workflow that composes a professional email via a second LLM (Anthropic) and sends it to the customer via Gmail, followed by an internal alert via Google Chat. ๐ ๏ธ Setup Steps Credentials: AI/LLM: Configure credentials for the Language Model used (OpenAI or Gemini) for the core Agent. Google Services: Set up OAuth2 credentials for Google Calendar (for booking/checking), Google Sheets (for logging), and Gmail (for customer confirmation). Google Calendar: Specify the technician's calendar ID (bhuvaneshx13@gmail.com in the template) in all Calendar nodes. Google Sheets: Create a new Google Sheet to serve as the Lead Log and update the Document ID and Sheet Name in the log\_lead and log\_lead\_trigger nodes. Tool Configuration: Review and customize the Agent's system prompt in the Receptionist node to align time zone rules (currently Asia/Kolkata - IST) and business hours (9:00 AM to 6:00 PM) with your operations. โ Benefits Increased Efficiency: Fully automates complex scheduling and rescheduling, freeing up human staff. Contextual Service: AI handles multi-turn conversations and adheres to strict business rules (e.g., 2-hour slots, maximum tool usage). Data Integrity: Ensures all bookings are immediately logged to Google Sheets, maintaining a centralized record (CRM). Professional Flow: Provides immediate confirmation to the customer via email and instant notification to the internal team via chat. ๐ Other Use Cases The underlying multi-step, tool-execution pattern is highly versatile and can be adapted for any service industry requiring complex, rules-based scheduling: Real Estate:** Scheduling property viewings (Check agent availability โ Book viewing โ Send directions). HVAC Services:** Managing maintenance and repair visits (Diagnose issue type โ Match with qualified technician โ Check part availability โ Schedule visit โ Send service confirmation). Medical/Dental:** Booking patient appointments (Check insurance eligibility โ Check doctor availability โ Book โ Send pre-visit forms). Legal Services:** Intake for consultations (Collect client issue โ Check specialist availability โ Book โ Send retainer agreement). Automotive Repair:** Scheduling service bays (Check bay and mechanic availability โ Book โ Update internal service board).

๐In the social and behavioral sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, economics, management), researchers and students often need to normalize academic paper metadata and extract variables before any literature review or meta-analysis. ๐งฉThis workflow automates the busywork. Using an LLM, it processes CSV/XLSX/XLS files (exported from WoS, Scopus, EndNote, Zotero, or your own spreadsheets) into normalized metadata and extracted variables, and writes a neat table to Google Sheets. ๐ Example Google Sheet:ย click me ๐ฅ Who is this for? ๐ Undergraduate and graduate students or researchers in soft-science fields (psychology, sociology, economics, business) โฑ๏ธ People who donโt have time to read full papers and need quick overviews ๐ Anyone who wants to automate academic paper metadata normalization and variable extraction to speed up a literature review โ๏ธ How it works ๐ค Upload an academic paper file (CSV/XLSX/XLS) in chat. ๐ The workflow creates a Google Sheets spreadsheet with two tabs: Checkpoint and FinalResult. ๐ A structured-output LLM normalizes core metadata (title, abstract, authors, publication date, source) from the uploaded file and writes it to Checkpoint; ๐ง a Gmail notification is sent when finished. ๐งช A second structured-output LLM uses the metadata above to extract variables (Independent Variable, Dependent Variable) and writes them to FinalResult; ๐ง youโll get a second Gmail notification when done. ๐ ๏ธ How to set up ๐ Credentials Google Sheets OAuth2** (read/write) Gmail OAuth2** (send notifications) Google Gemini (or any LLM you prefer)** ๐ Quick start Connect Google Sheets, Gmail, and Gemini (or your LLM) credentials. Open File Upload Trigger โ upload your CSV/XLSX/XLS file and type a name in chat (used as the Google Sheets spreadsheet title). Watch your inbox for status emails and open the Google Sheets spreadsheet to review Checkpoint and FinalResult. ๐ Customization ๐๏ธ Journal lists: Edit the Journal Rank Classifier code node to add/remove titles. The default list is for business/management journalsโswap it for a list from your own field. ๐ Notifications: Replace Gmail with Slack, Teams, or any channel you prefer. ๐ง LLM outputs: Need different metadata or extracted data? Edit the LLMโs system prompt and Structured Output Parser. ๐ Note ๐ Make sure your file includes abstracts. If the academic paper data you upload doesnโt contain an abstract, the extracted results will be far less useful. ๐งฉ CSV yields no items? Encoding mismatches can break the workflow. If this happens, convert the CSV to .xls or .xlsx and try again. ๐ฉ Help Contact: owenlzyxg@gmail.com

Workflow Overview Node 1: When chat message received This node creates an interactive chat interface where users can describe their prospecting criteria in natural language. Type:** Chat Trigger Purpose:** Accept natural language queries like "Get 5 marketing leaders at fintech startups who joined in the past year and have valid contact information" Example Prompts:** "Find SaaS executives in New York with 50-200 employees" "Get marketing directors at healthcare companies" "Show me VPs at fintech startups with recent funding" Node 2: Chat or Refinement This code node manages the conversation flow, handling both initial user queries and validation error feedback. Function:** Routes either the original chat input or validation error messages to the AI Agent Dynamic Input:** Combines chatInput and errorInput fields Purpose:** Creates a feedback loop for validation error correction Node 3: AI Agent The core intelligence node that interprets natural language and generates structured API calls. Functionality: Interprets user intent from natural language queries Maps concepts to Explorium API filters (job levels, departments, company size, revenue, location, etc.) Generates valid JSON requests with precise filter criteria Handles off-topic queries with helpful guidance Connected to MCP Client for real-time filter specifications AI Components: Anthropic Chat Model:** Claude Sonnet 4 for query interpretation Simple Memory:** Maintains conversation context (100 message window) Output Parser:** Structured JSON output with schema validation MCP Client:** Connected to https://mcp.explorium.ai/mcp for Explorium specifications System Instructions: Expert in converting natural language to Explorium API filters Can revise previous responses based on validation errors Strict adherence to allowed filter values and formats Default settings: mode: "full", size: 10000, page_size: 100, has_email: true Node 4: API Call Validation This code node validates the AI-generated API request against Explorium's filter specifications.

Studies show professionally designed proposals increase close rates by 28% Scalable process** - Handle 10x proposal volume without adding staff or slowing down Use Cases Digital Marketing Agency Example Agency receives 15-20 proposal requests weekly. Account managers spend 3+ hours per proposal copying templates, updating pricing, and fixing formatting issues. Bottleneck causes delays and lost deals to faster competitors. Solution: Integrates workflow with Pipedrive CRM. When deal moves to "Proposal Requested" stage, webhook triggers. Account manager fills quick form with project scope and pricing. Workflow generates branded proposal in 3 minutes. Result: Proposal sent same day instead of 2-3 days later. Client impressed by speed and professionalism. Close rate increases from 32% to 47%. Agency wins additional $250,000 in annual revenue. Account managers save 40 hours monthly, reallocating time to client strategy. SaaS Company Example Sales team manually creates proposals in Google Docs for enterprise deals. Process takes 4-6 hours per proposal including pricing tables, terms negotiation, and approval routing. Proposals look different depending on who creates them. Solution: Implements workflow connected to HubSpot. When deal reaches "Proposal" stage, workflow auto-generates proposal using deal data. Pricing pulled from HubSpot line items. Manager approval added before sending. Result: Proposal generation time drops to 15 minutes. Brand consistency across all proposals. Sales velocity increases 65%. Deal size grows 23% due to professional presentation building enterprise confidence. Team closes 4 additional enterprise deals worth $180,000 ARR. Web Development Studio Example Studio loses deals because proposal turnaround takes 5-7 days. Prospects receive competing proposals faster and sign before studio's proposal arrives. Revenue growth stalled despite strong pipeline. Solution: Connects workflow to Airtable project intake form. When prospect completes project scope form, workflow instantly generates customized proposal with accurate pricing based on feature selections and complexity. Result: Proposals delivered in under 1 hour versus 5-7 days. Win rate increases from 18% to 41%. Studio captures 8 additional projects monthly worth $35,000. Client satisfaction scores improve as prospects appreciate speed and professionalism. IT Consulting Firm Example Consultants manually assemble proposals from disparate sources including technical specifications, staffing plans, and pricing spreadsheets. Format inconsistencies hurt credibility. Proposal errors cause scope creep and margin erosion. Solution: Builds workflow that pulls technical requirements from project planning tool, staffing from resource management system, and pricing from rate card database. All data flows into validated proposal template. Result: Proposal accuracy increases to 98% reducing change orders and scope disputes. Professional presentation wins 2 competitive bids against larger firms. Margin protection saves $75,000 annually. Proposal creation time reduced from 8 hours to 20 minutes per opportunity. Training Company Example Small team of 4 sends 30+ training proposals monthly. Founder spends 15+ hours weekly on proposal creation instead of business development. Revenue plateaus despite strong demand. Solution: Implements workflow triggered by Typeform submission after discovery calls. Prospects self-select training modules, duration, and delivery format. Workflow generates proposal with accurate pricing and timeline. Result: Founder reclaims 15 hours weekly for strategic activities. Team handles 3x proposal volume without hiring. Revenue increases 140% year-over-year. Client feedback highlights speed and professionalism. Referral rate increases as satisfied clients rave about seamless buying experience.
