How to automate email notifications for upcoming Google Calendar events

Every playbook starts with a trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and runs your playbook accordingly.

Click "Add trigger" and choose "Event upcoming" from the Calendar options. Next, you'll need to specify which calendar to monitor. If you haven't yet integrated Google Calendar with Relay, you'll be asked to connect your Google account at this point.

Now, your playbook will activate automatically with each upcoming event on the selected calendar.

Now it's time to draft an email notification for the upcoming event. Add a new step and select 'Send email' from available Gmail actions.

If this is your first time, you'll need to connect Gmail to Relay, then fill out necessary details such as 'To', 'Subject', and 'Body'. Use fields from the Google Calendar event to dynamically populate the email with the relevant information.

Once you're done configuring your playbook, make sure to turn it on.

The playbook will then operate automatically each time an event is upcoming in your calendar. Additionally, you have the option to select "Check now" for a manual check at any moment you desire.
