How it works

This workflow keeps you perfectly informed about your upcoming week's schedule. Every Sunday evening, it automatically:

  • Fetches all your scheduled meetings for the upcoming week (Monday to Sunday) from your connected calendar.

  • Compiles a concise summary of these meetings, including dates, times, and event titles.

  • Sends you a single, organized email so you can quickly review your agenda and prepare for the week ahead.

Stay ahead of your schedule with this proactive meeting notification system.

Set up steps

Setting up this workflow is quick and easy, typically taking less than 10 minutes. You'll primarily need to:

  • Authenticate your preferred calendar service (e.g., Google Calendar).

  • Connect your email sending service (e.g., Gmail).

  • Specify the email address where you want to receive the summary.

All detailed setup instructions and specific configuration guidance are provided within the workflow itself using sticky notes.
