Video Demo: Live Execution of AI SDR Scheduling Logic (Meeting Booked on Calendar & Email Notification Sent) The Solution Architecture: Step-by-Step Logic

Lead Ingestion & Qualification Bypass

• Webhooks receive inbound replies (simulating Instant.ai replies).
• Data is processed and unified in the initial Edit Fields and Set API Keys nodes.
• The Mock AI Success node is strategically injected to bypass the LLM/Anthropic step for a reliable demo and sets a positive result (status: qualified).

Dynamic Calendar Availability Check

• The system uses the Get Existing Event node to query the calendar for any existing conflicts on the dynamically proposed date/time.
• The Check Available Slots logic executes to ensure the requested time slot (e.g., Nov 7, 10:00 AM) is genuinely free.

Event Creation & Instant Notification

• The Create an Event node uses a secure OAuth 2.0 connection to book the meeting (Mock Discovery Call) instantly onto the sales calendar.
• The Send email node executes immediately after, sending an instant notification to daxyadao@gmail.com (simulating the team handoff).
• The flow concludes with Format Response, sending the final success message back to the originating platform.
