Every night (or whenever) it sends an email with tomorrow's schedule using Google App scripts. The email looks something like:
09:30 - 10:00 in Meeting Room Fido
Cadence Check In
10:00 - 11:00 in The Lounge
Coffee Chat
10:00 - 10:25 in Team Area
Stand Up
13:30 - 14:30 in Main Conference Room
[Optional] Product Review
17:15 - 18:15
Child Care
I don't usually check my work calendar/email once I'm home.
- Log into the google account that your calendar is attached to
- Visit https://www.google.com/script/start/
- Click 'Start Scripting'
- Paste in the javascript file from this repo And name the script something helpful. It'll be in your Google Drive once you save it.
- Go to
File -> Project Properties -> Script Properties
and add a property namedMAILTO
with the value of the email address you'd like to use. - Test it out by going to
Run -> getEventsAndMail
.
If it all works well, you can set up your time based trigger via Resources -> Current Project's Triggers
.
If you want to have it send daily, choose:
- getEventsAndMail
- time-driven
- Day timer
- The hour you'd like to recieve your email. Typically it happens at the very beginning of the time range.
If it doesn't all work well, I might be able to help. It's also imperfect, so please improve and share 👍
I do. But it sends out at 5am, which (imho) is a pretty terrible time to remind anyone of anything. And! It'll only send to the email address that is associated with the calendar.
Isn't this just copying a feature from Donna?
Yep! I missed it when they shut down.
