Terminplanung automatisieren mit Zapier, n8n und KI

· Max

TL;DR: Timergy connects to Zapier, Make.com, n8n, ChatGPT, Claude, and Telegram. Use webhooks and the REST API to automate poll creation, sync results, and get instant notifications. All of it works on the free tier.

Scheduling automation saves hours every week. Instead of manually creating polls, copying results into spreadsheets, or pinging people for updates, you can let your tools do the work. Timergy was built with automation in mind from day one. Here is everything you can connect and how to set it up.

The Automation Ecosystem

Timergy offers six integration layers, each designed for a different use case:

LayerBest forAuth
WebhooksReal-time event triggersSigning secret
REST APICustom integrationsAPI key
ZapierNo-code workflowsOAuth
Make.comVisual automationOAuth
n8nSelf-hosted workflowsAPI key
ChatGPT / ClaudeNatural language schedulingOAuth / MCP

All of these work together. You might create a poll via ChatGPT, get a Telegram notification when someone votes, and sync the final result to Google Sheets via n8n.

Timergy dashboard overview

Webhooks: The Foundation

Webhooks are the backbone of every automation. When something happens in Timergy (a vote is cast, a poll is finalized, a new participant joins), Timergy sends an HTTP POST to your endpoint.

Setup: Go to your dashboard, open Settings, and add a webhook URL. You can filter by event type:

  • poll.created / poll.finalized / poll.reopened
  • vote.submitted / vote.updated
  • participant.joined
  • booking.created / booking.cancelled

Each payload includes the full poll data, participant info, and a timestamp. Timergy signs every webhook with HMAC-SHA256, so you can verify authenticity on your end.

Tip: For quick testing, use a service like webhook.site to inspect payloads before building your real integration.

Zapier: No-Code Scheduling Automation

The Zapier integration lets you connect Timergy to 6,000+ apps without writing code. Here is a practical example.

Example: Create a poll when a Trello card is added

  1. Trigger: New card in Trello (list: “Meetings to Schedule”)
  2. Action: Create a Timergy poll with the card title as the poll name
  3. Action: Post the poll link back to the Trello card as a comment

This works for any project management tool. Swap Trello for Asana, Notion, or Monday.com. The pattern is the same: a new task triggers a scheduling poll, and the link gets posted where your team already works.

Other popular Zapier recipes:

  • Slack message triggers a quick poll
  • Poll finalization sends a Google Calendar invite
  • New booking creates a HubSpot contact

n8n: Self-Hosted Power

If you prefer self-hosted automation, the n8n community node gives you full access to Timergy’s API inside n8n workflows.

Example: Write poll results to Google Sheets

  1. Trigger: Timergy webhook (poll.finalized)
  2. Node: Extract winning option, voter names, and final date
  3. Node: Append a row to your “Team Meetings” Google Sheet

This is perfect for keeping a scheduling log. Every finalized poll automatically becomes a row in your spreadsheet with the date, participants, and chosen time slot.

Install the node: npm install n8n-nodes-timergy in your n8n instance.

ChatGPT: Schedule with Natural Language

The Timergy Custom GPT lets you create and manage polls by just talking.

Try it: “Schedule a team dinner next week. Offer Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening. Invite the marketing team.”

The GPT creates the poll, generates the sharing link, and can check results later. It supports two modes:

  • Open mode (no login): Create quick polls for anyone
  • Account mode (OAuth): Full access to your polls, contacts, and settings

This is scheduling automation at its most natural. No forms, no clicking through wizards. Just describe what you need.

MCP Server for Claude and AI Assistants

For developers and AI power users, Timergy publishes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that works with Claude and other compatible AI assistants.

The MCP server exposes tools for creating polls, listing results, managing participants, and finalizing decisions. If you use Claude as your daily assistant, you can schedule directly from your workflow.

npm install -g @timergy/mcp

REST API: Build Anything

Need full control? The REST API supports everything the web app does. Generate up to 5 API keys in your dashboard settings, each with configurable permissions.

Common API use cases:

  • Embed poll creation in your own app
  • Build a custom voting interface
  • Sync scheduling data with your CRM
  • Automate recurring poll creation via cron jobs

The API uses standard REST conventions with JSON payloads. Authentication is via Bearer token using your API key.

Telegram Bot: Free Instant Notifications

The Timergy Telegram bot sends you instant notifications for votes, finalizations, comments, and more. Unlike SMS notifications (Pro only), the Telegram bot is completely free for all users.

Connect it once in your notification settings, and you will never miss a vote again. It supports all 11 notification types in 35 languages.

Make.com Integration

Make.com (formerly Integromat) offers a visual canvas for building complex scheduling automation workflows. The Timergy module supports triggers (new poll, new vote, finalization) and actions (create poll, add participant, finalize).

Make.com shines when you need conditional logic, like only sending a Slack notification when a poll reaches 80% participation, or routing different poll types to different channels.

Which Integration Should You Use?

  • Non-technical users: Start with Zapier or Make.com
  • Self-hosters: Use n8n with the community node
  • Developers: REST API with webhooks
  • AI enthusiasts: ChatGPT Custom GPT or Claude MCP
  • Everyone: Telegram bot for free notifications

These tools are not mutually exclusive. The most powerful setups combine several: ChatGPT creates the poll, webhooks trigger an n8n workflow, and Telegram delivers the result.

Get Started

Every integration mentioned here works on Timergy’s free tier. You do not need a Pro subscription to use webhooks, the API, Telegram, or the AI integrations. For advanced features like SMS notifications, paid bookings, or removing branding, check out Timergy Pro.

Timergy is the only scheduling tool with this level of automation built in. While Calendly charges $16/month for basic Zapier access, Timergy includes it for free.
