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.

  • Execute the task periodically
  • Get the next upcoming event (gcalendar → alert_events)
  • Send a text message template (whatsapp_cloud_api → post_message_template)

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.
