Daylight Saving Time Notification
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automatically monitors whether preset time zones are about to enter or exit Daylight Saving Time (DST) and sends reminder notifications one day in advance. It supports notifications via both Slack messages and emails, helping teams adjust meeting schedules promptly and avoid communication errors caused by time changes.
Highlights include:
- Automatic detection of DST status changes across multiple time zones
- Flexible configuration of monitored time zone lists
- Multi-channel notifications (Slack and email) to ensure message delivery
- Integration with n8n’s scheduling trigger for regular automated monitoring
Core Problem Addressed
Teams operating across multiple time zones or businesses involving various regions often face meeting confusion or missed important events due to DST adjustments. This workflow solves the problem of automatically detecting DST changes in time zones and sending advance reminders, reducing the risk of human oversight and improving cross-time-zone collaboration efficiency.
Use Cases
- Multinational companies managing meetings across different countries or regions
- Daily coordination for remote and distributed teams
- Project management requiring synchronization of multi-time-zone changes
- Any service or system management relying on accurate time scheduling
Main Workflow Steps
- Scheduled Trigger: The workflow is initiated at regular intervals using the Schedule Trigger node.
- Load Time Zone List: The monitored time zones (e.g., New York, Warsaw) are set via a Code node.
- Calculate Current Time per Time Zone: Determine the current date and time for each time zone.
- Calculate Next Day Time: Compute the date and time for the following day in each time zone.
- Check for DST Change: Compare the DST status of the current day and the next day to detect any changes.
- Conditional Check: If a DST change is detected for the next day, proceed to send notifications.
- Send Notifications: Dispatch reminder messages to specified Slack channels and email lists via Slack and Email nodes respectively.
Involved Systems and Services
- Slack: For sending instant message notifications; requires OAuth authentication configuration.
- SMTP Email Service: For sending email alerts; requires SMTP account setup.
- n8n Core Nodes: Including Manual Trigger (for manual testing), Schedule Trigger (for timed execution), Code node (for time zone list), Set node (for time calculations and checks), and If node (for conditional logic).
Target Users and Value
- Cross-time-zone team managers and coordinators
- Project managers requiring precise time synchronization
- IT operations and automation engineers
- Any enterprise users aiming to reduce time management errors through automation
By using this workflow, users can automatically and accurately receive notifications about DST changes, preventing communication and collaboration disruptions caused by time adjustments, thereby enhancing the smoothness and efficiency of cross-time-zone teamwork.
Meraki Network Link Quality Monitoring and Alert Automation Workflow
This workflow periodically retrieves link quality data for network devices by calling the Cisco Meraki Dashboard API. It automatically calculates the average packet loss rate and latency over the last 5 minutes and identifies abnormal network nodes. It avoids duplicate alerts and quickly notifies the technical team through Microsoft Teams, while also recording the alert status in a Redis database, achieving intelligent alert management and continuous monitoring. This system enhances the automation level of network operations and ensures timely response and business continuity.
puq-docker-minio-deploy
This workflow provides an automated backend system for managing and deploying Docker-based MinIO storage services. It implements lifecycle management for Docker containers, supports MinIO user management and version querying, and automatically configures Nginx reverse proxy and access control. By triggering Webhooks and executing commands remotely, users can efficiently perform remote operations and monitoring of the storage service, significantly reducing manual maintenance workload and ensuring data integrity and service security.
Create a Channel, Add a Member, and Post a Message to the Channel
This workflow can automatically create new channels on the Mattermost platform, add specified members, and send welcome messages. By triggering it with a single click, it eliminates the hassle of manual operations and improves team collaboration efficiency. It is suitable for scenarios such as launching new projects, team expansions, and regularly creating topic-specific channels, ensuring a standardized and unified process. This allows for the quick establishment of a communication environment, enabling team members to receive the information they need in a timely manner and facilitating smooth cooperation.
Google Drive Permissions Audit and Reporting Automation Workflow
This workflow implements an automatic permission audit for Google Drive documents, focusing on identifying files that are publicly accessible or shared with external users. It generates clear audit reports daily, which include file names, permission types, and user information, and sends them via email to relevant personnel. This ensures that the security team can promptly address potential risks and enhance data security management. The process effectively reduces manual intervention, helping organizations to timely discover and rectify overly permissive file permissions, thereby lowering the risk of information leakage.
Plex Automatic Throttler
This workflow achieves intelligent control of download speed in qBittorrent by automatically monitoring the playback status of the Plex media player. When a user is watching a video, the system automatically reduces the download speed to ensure smooth playback; it restores the normal download speed when the video is paused or stopped. This intelligent bandwidth management addresses bandwidth conflict issues in home networks and enhances the online viewing experience, making it especially suitable for users who need to download and watch media simultaneously.
Create, Update, and Retrieve an Entry in Strapi
This workflow is designed to automate the process of creating, updating, and retrieving content entries in the Strapi content management system. Users can quickly set up content fields, create new entries, update their slugs, and finally retrieve the updated content details through a simple manual trigger. This series of operations not only enhances the efficiency of content management but also reduces errors caused by manual intervention, ensuring data accuracy and consistency. It is particularly suitable for editors and developers who need to process content rapidly.
n8nConf Attendee Auto-Registration and Management Workflow
This workflow achieves fully automated processing of participant registration in the conference management system, covering aspects such as information collection, account creation, team invitations, schedule synchronization, and welcome email sending. Through seamless integration of multiple systems, it addresses the cumbersome nature of traditional registration processes and the issue of information silos, ensuring real-time data synchronization and automatic notifications. This allows participants to smoothly join the conference and integrate into the community. It is suitable for large conferences, training events, and internal corporate collaboration, significantly enhancing organizational efficiency and user experience.
Write a File to the Host Machine
This workflow implements the functionality of downloading files from a remote server and directly saving them to a specified path on the local host. Users only need to manually trigger the process, and the system will automatically send an HTTP request to retrieve the file and write it in binary format to the local system. This process greatly improves the efficiency of file downloads, reduces human error, and is suitable for scenarios such as automated backups, regular file fetching, and development debugging, making it an ideal choice for developers and operations personnel.
