Log the cold email thread to Salesforce when a meeting is booked
When a prospect books through Cal.com or Calendly, a webhook sends the meeting time, the prospect and the thread link to n8n, which logs the activity on the Salesforce lead or contact.
Why teams run it
AEs walk into the meeting with the full outbound conversation on the Salesforce record.

Or ask Claude, ChatGPT or Grok to build it
Our workflow guide is written for AI agents to read. Give your assistant your API key and this prompt:
Read https://app.masterinbox.com/public-workflow-api.md and use my Master Inbox API key to create this workflow: "Log the cold email thread to Salesforce when a meeting is booked". First call GET /workflows/filter-fields and look up my label, list and channel ids, then create the workflow and tell me what you set up.Questions
Which meeting fields are in the payload?
Meeting Booked webhooks can include the meeting time and meeting URL along with the prospect fields.
What if the booking email matches no lead?
The webhook still runs with the booking details, so n8n can decide whether to create a new record.
Can I build this workflow through the API?
Yes. Send the create-workflow request shown on this page with your Master Inbox API key. The API checks the payload first and lists every problem by field if anything is off.
Which plan includes this?
This workflow works on the Revenue plan. Every plan has unlimited users and starts with a free 7-day POC.
