Connect Google Calendar to SmartChat
Connect Google Calendar with one click in the AI Chat. Then SmartChat reminds every contact of their appointment the day before.
Every appointment gets a reminder.
The day before, your contact gets a WhatsApp with the time, place and everything they should bring. You set up the automation once, and after that it runs on its own.
Meeting point, length and what your student driver should bring.
Prescription, clothing and parking are already in the message.
Drop-off, keys and courtesy car sorted out in advance.
How the appointment gets from Google Calendar into WhatsApp.
A tool like Make, Zapier or n8n reports the appointment to a secret webhook address of your automation. SmartChat then sends the reminder.
