Each Sunday, your bot reads your calendar. It writes a short note for a parent: where you go, where you stay, and how you travel.

What it does by itselfIt writes the email. Emails from a scheduled job wait as drafts until you approve them.

How it works

One man has a weekly job for his main bot. Every Sunday it reads his calendar and the calendar of his partner. It finds his travel plans and her work hours. On Monday night his mother gets an email. It says where he is going next week, where he will stay, and how he gets there and back. His mother likes it and waits for it every week. On the day he flew, she used it to follow his flight.

How to set it up

  1. Connect your calendar and your email.
  2. Ask the bot to read your calendar every Sunday.
  3. Ask it to write a short note: where you go, where you stay, and how you travel.
  4. Tell it who gets the note. Check the draft before it goes out.
