Weekly Calendar Recap Sent to WhatsApp
Friday wrap-up: Notis sends a text message summarizing next week's confirmed events, so you can prep over the weekend instead of scrambling Monday morning.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Monday mornings are chaotic because you didn't review your week ahead; you're scrambling to prep for the first meeting while already behind.
- Proactive planning: knowing your week ahead reduces Monday-morning panic
- Mental space: reviewing a summary is faster than opening calendar and scrolling event by event
- Prep in advance: weekend clarity means you start Monday focused instead of reactive
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Google Calendar and WhatsApp business accounts are connected.
- 2Create a new automation: 'Every Friday at 4 PM, send me a WhatsApp text summarizing all confirmed meetings for the following week, including attendees and any that have prep notes.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Recurring Schedule' for Fridays at 4 PM.
- 4Pick your run-report channel.
- 5Verify the summary arrives on Friday and includes the information you care most about.
Questions about this workflow
Can I get summaries more often, like daily or twice a week?
Absolutely. You can set up multiple automations—e.g., a Monday overview and a Thursday mid-week check. Or a single one that runs daily if you prefer.
What if I have 30+ events in a week?
Notis can send a compressed summary (just event titles and times) or break it into multiple messages. Tell Notis what level of detail works for you.
Will it include cancelled events or only active meetings?
Only active, confirmed events by default. You can refine it to show tentative events or include a 'note if anything was recently cancelled' if you like.
