What This Automation Does
This solution is built as 4 connected workflows that run on a schedule and work together:
1. Daily Email Summary (Morning)
Every morning, the workflow:
Reads today’s events from Google Calendar
Formats them into a clean email
Sends a daily schedule summary via Mailchimp or SendGrid
2. Daily SMS Summary
Shortly after, it:
Sends a concise SMS overview of today’s meetings using Twilio
3. 15-Minute Event Reminders
Before each event:
Sends an individual SMS reminder
Skips all-day events automatically
4. Weekly Schedule Preview
Every Sunday:
Live Reporting & Dashboard
All workflow activity is logged automatically into Google Sheets, which powers a real-time analytics dashboard showing:
Number of notifications sent
Success vs failure rates
Daily and weekly execution stats
Visual charts powered by Chart.js
No manual tracking needed, everything updates automatically.
How the Workflow Is Structured
The automation is grouped into 3 clear sections:
Section 1: Calendar Data Collection
Pulls events from Google Calendar
Filters relevant meetings
Prepares clean event data
Section 2: Notifications & Messaging
Formats emails and SMS messages
Sends reminders and summaries
Handles scheduling logic
Section 3: Logging & Reporting
Saves every execution to Google Sheets
Updates daily stats automatically
