Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1

    Design Your Calendar Event

    Create a dedicated Google Calendar. Standardize your event descriptions with special tags (e.g., `ReminderTemplate: webinar`, `SendBefore: 2d`) to make them readable by your automation workflow.

  2. 2

    Build the Automation

    In Make.com or Zapier, set up a trigger to watch for upcoming events. The workflow will parse the tags from the event description to get all the necessary details.

  3. 3

    Generate & Send Email

    Send the parsed event data to ChatGPT to generate a friendly, personalized reminder email. Then, use a tool like MailerLite to send the email to your audience.

  4. 4

    Log & Monitor

    Automatically log every sent email in a Google Sheet to track status. Set up alerts in Slack to be notified of any failures in the workflow.
