Auto-pre-register external guests from meeting invites and send them a badge

When a calendar event with external attendees is created, this pre-registers each outside guest as a visitor in Airtable and emails them a badge plus arrival instructions.

What it does

Removes the manual step entirely: any meeting you schedule with people outside your domain automatically pre-registers them and sends each one a building badge. The host just books the meeting as usual.

When to use it

Use it when most visits originate as Outlook meeting invites and you want zero-effort visitor registration tied to the calendar. Great for sales and recruiting teams who book external meetings constantly.

How it works

  1. 1A calendar event-created trigger fires when a new meeting is booked in Outlook.
  2. 2The flow inspects the attendee list and filters to addresses outside the company's email domain.
  3. 3A branch ends the run if there are no external attendees.
  4. 4For each external guest, a visitor record is created in Airtable with the meeting time, host (organizer), and a badge token.
  5. 5Each guest is emailed their badge, the meeting time, and building directions through Outlook.
  6. 6The organizer receives a confirmation summary listing which guests were pre-registered.
