Use a custom URL for recurring Zoom meetings
Use case Instead of this: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83456429326?pwd=1hVesbyHCsOfstyVU3z4CR6D46A8K.1 share this: mydomain.com/meet-me Do you ever wish you had one, simple URL that you can share with people to hop on a Zoom meeting? 😃 ~~You could waste time:~~ 👎👎 creating a recurring Zoom meeting 😫 saving the link somewhere 😵💫 finding it, copying it each time you need it 😭 sharing an ugly long link with everyone 🤢 Or... You could create a 🌹 beautiful link using your own domain/website that redirects to your Zoom meeting, and share that beautified URL with everyone. 😌 And it will be easy for you to remember 💡 > NOTE Zoom now forces a one-year max lifetime on recurring videos. 😐 So I created this simple workflow to solve a few headaches. ☺️ What this workflow does Triggers once, annually (360 days) Creates a new, recurring meeting in Zoom Updates a redirect script with the new Zoom URL on a Wordpress Page Notifies you in a Slack channel What this workflow lacks in breakthrough innovation, it makes up for with usefulness and peace of mind. Have fun and make it your own! Setup Add your credentials in each node this pre-requires you have a Zoom, Wordpress and Slack account, and have gotten API access on those accounts Create a Page in Wordpress, and get its ID. (Or create a new Page in WP.) Configure node parameters according to your needs. TEST!!!! Don't ever skip this step. Ever. Set it and forget it. > NOTE You can replace the Wordpress node with another website CMS node, or generic HTTP request for a non-wordpress site. You can also remove or replace the Slack node with other notification functionality (eg. sms, whatsapp, email...) Template was created in n8n v1.58.2
By EricBatch Delete Posts and Featured Images in WordPress
Why use this You need to delete (many) posts on a WordPress website and also delete the featured image associated with each post. Hours of rote work cut into a fraction with this automation. How it works set your wordpress URL in the manual trigger node set your WP post search parameters (WP API returns 10 posts by default; you could also set up pagination for scaling this automation beyond 10 posts per execution) decide (and build) your filter/approval process What you can expect this automation is set up to run the 10 oldest pending posts, with oldest first if you remove the 'Filter' node from the workflow, after each run, another 10 posts will be returned from WP Notes on Filter/Approval This is arbitrary and depends on your own use case. Maybe you have an editor who needs to approve the post deletion. You might want to get approval by email, slack msg or ticketing system. Or maybe you just want to monitor the process and spare specific posts from deletion. I used the Filter node to only grab the first item (itemIndex < 1) which in this case was the oldest pending post. This could also be expanded to two separate workflows: One triggered when a pending post is created that sends an approval request A second triggered by the approval/rejection that either publishes or deletes the post, depending on the approval result This would require another HTTP request, similar to the DELETE post request, that instead publishes the post.
By EricConvert event text to calendar entries with AI and NextCloud/Google/Zoho
Why use this? This workflow turns any event-related text into a new event on your calendar. Poster for a concert you want to go to? Snap a photo [with your iPhone] and boom city, it's in your calendar. † Parent-Teacher conference you can't forget? Forward that email to the webhook. † Appointment card from the doctor? Snap it in, baby! † How it works (Very, very simple) Data received by webhook. Ai Agent prompted to parse the text into structured event data. Create event in NextCloud cal (or Zoho, or GoogleCal). (Optional, intended use case) Set up the iOS Shortcut (linked in workflow) to turn your iPhone into the trigger for this workflow. Say "Siri, Add Event To Calendar," and she opens the camera, OCRs the text in the photo and sends that to the webhook. Boom city. Expected input structure json [ { "body": { "cal": "work", <- this is optional for deciding among calendars "eventInfo": "Join us for Betty-Jean's 98th birthday! (Yes, we celebrate every year now...) It's October 11th at 2:30pm, at Betty-Jean's house. Come after lunch 'cause her kitchen hasn't been used in 20 years. She mellows out pretty early these days so plan for the party to end by 4:00pm." } } ] Extras Includes multiple calendar nodes. Whether you're using NextCloud, Zoho or Google Cal, you can swap in the node you need. iOS Shortcut linked in workflow. I also set up a Shortcut for the iPhone. The first time you use the Shortcut, you'll need to give it some permissions, and paste in your production webhook URL. Expansion option: Accept images. iPhone has a native OCR feature but this isn't always an option. To make this workflow more versatile, consider building out a second branch to send an image to an Agent to parse the event data from the image directly. Expansion option: Multiple triggers. You could add more triggers to receive event-related text from other sources, like an IMAP node reading your email (pro tip: set up a designated folder and give the IMAP access only to that folder). † Workflow begins with a webhook which can receive correctly-formatted data from anywhere on the web --- mailhook, webform, iOS Shortcut, etc. Direct data to this webhook from your source of text to use this workflow.
