Alert the owner and set a rebook reminder when a meeting is cancelled

When a booked prospect cancels, Master Inbox posts to Slack and sets a reminder for two days later, so someone reaches out to rebook before the lead cools off.

Why teams run it

Cancellations get a human response instead of silence.

Set it up in Master Inbox

  1. In Master Inbox, open Settings, then Workflows, and click Add a workflow.
  2. Name it Alert the owner and set a rebook reminder when a meeting is cancelled.
  3. Set the trigger to Meeting Cancelled and choose From Cal.com or Calendly.
  4. Add the action Notify in Slack: Post the prospect, cancelled time and thread link to the owner's channel.
  5. Add the action Set a reminder: In 2 days.
  6. Save the workflow and switch it to Active.

Before you start, connect Slack, Cal.com or Calendly under Settings, Integrations.

Or create it with the API

Everything in the workflow builder is also in the Master Inbox API. This request creates the same workflow. Replace the example ids with your own label, list and campaign ids from GET /workflows/filter-fields.

curl -X POST https://api.masterinbox.com/api/api-webhook/v1/api/workflows/create-workflow \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MASTER_INBOX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "name": "Alert the owner and set a rebook reminder when a meeting is cancelled",
  "trigger_type": "meeting_cancelled",
  "trigger_config": {},
  "action_configs": [
    {
      "action_type": "slack_notify",
      "payload_variables": [
        "name",
        "company_name",
        "label_names",
        "text",
        "thread_url"
      ],
      "show_draft": true
    },
    {
      "action_type": "set_reminder",
      "reminder_minutes": 2880
    }
  ]
}'

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: "Alert the owner and set a rebook reminder when a meeting is cancelled". 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

Can the reminder go to Slack when it is due?

Yes. A Due Reminder workflow with Notify in Slack posts it.

Will the AI agent restart follow-ups?

That depends on your reply agent settings. This workflow only alerts and sets the reminder.

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.
