When a Google Calendar event is approaching, it notifies by sending a WhatsApp template message
Get timely reminders straight to your WhatsApp, so you're always prepared.
Manual event reminders are a constant headache—double-checking your Google Calendar, copying event details, writing out WhatsApp notifications, and risking forgotten or late messages cost you valuable time and professional credibility. If a crucial reminder slips through, meetings are missed, client trust erodes, and projects stall. The invested hours add up fast and the cost in lost opportunities or disappointed recipients is even greater.
This Botize formula eliminates all that friction by seamlessly detecting when a Google Calendar event is approaching and, like clockwork, sending a personalized WhatsApp template message directly to your contact. The message dynamically includes both the event title and its start date/time—no manual copying or pasting. You control how far in advance notifications trigger (up to 4 hours before), how often the automation checks (every hour or your chosen interval), and which events it covers, keeping you proactive, present, and never caught off guard.
Experience the peace of mind and newfound efficiency that come with automating reminders—no more last-minute scrambles or missed connections. Follow the simple step-by-step to set up this formula in Botize or use the ready-made link to activate it instantly and customize details to your workflow. Your calendar, your rules, your time back.

The automation is triggered whenever a Google Calendar event is approaching and sends a WhatsApp message template to the corresponding recipient. This automation assumes that you have a WhatsApp template named reminder configured in Facebook, which accepts the event title as the first parameter and the event start date and time as the second parameter. Additionally, it assumes that Google Calendar events have been created with a custom property called client_id, and that this property contains the WhatsApp phone number of the recipient who will receive the reminder.
