How to automatically send a draft through Gmail every time a booking is upcoming in Cal.com
Set the Cal.com trigger as “Booking upcoming”
A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.
Add the Cal.com trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a booking is upcoming. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "Booking upcoming" from the dropdown menu under Cal.com.
If you still need to connect your Cal.com account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.
Add the “Send draft” step in Gmail
Integrate the Gmail automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt sending of a draft through Gmail every time a booking is upcoming on Cal.com.
Click the "Add step" button, locate the “Send draft” automation for Gmail, and input the mandatory and relevant details.
If your Gmail account still needs to be connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Gmail account.
Activate your playbook
Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically send a draft through Gmail every time a booking is upcoming on Cal.com without requiring manual intervention.
To activate your playbook, click the toggle button at the header. Before activating, we recommend performing a test run of your playbook to ensure all the steps work seamlessly together.
