Live Airport Delay Dashboard: FlightStats, Sheets & Slack Alerts

This n8n workflow creates a live dashboard for tracking airport delays by pulling real-time data from the FlightStats API on a scheduled basis (e.g., hourly via Cron node). It processes the data, merges it if needed, and stores structured information like airport code, delay status, minutes delayed, timestamp, and alert status into Google Sheets for easy visualization and historical tracking.

Key benefits include proactive alerting for severe delays via Slack notifications to operations and sales teams, reducing disruptions from travel issues. It saves time by automating manual checks, provides actionable insights with customizable severity thresholds, and scales for multiple airports without additional effort. No action is taken for minor delays, optimizing alert fatigue.

Ideal use cases: Travel agencies monitoring client flights, logistics firms tracking cargo delays, sales teams planning customer visits, or airlines' ops centers. Import into n8n, configure API credentials, set Cron schedule, link Sheets/Slack, and test for seamless deployment. Dependencies: FlightStats, Google Sheets, Slack APIs.
