Introduction

In our fast-paced digital world, staying organized is crucial, especially when it comes to scheduling meetings or appointments. For professionals managing busy schedules, sending timely reminders can significantly reduce no-shows and enhance productivity. This guide walks you through how to integrate Google Calendar with a reliable SMS reminder system. With our intuitive dashboard, you can send personalized reminders effortlessly—no technical skills required!

Step 1: Integrate Your Google Calendar

Start by connecting your Google Calendar to our platform. Navigate to the API & Developer Docs and follow the simple instructions to authenticate your Google account. This process allows seamless access to your calendar events.

Step 2: Set Up SMS Reminders

Once your calendar is integrated, it’s time to set up automated SMS reminders. You can easily schedule reminders to be sent 1, 2, 3, or even 4 days prior to an event. Simply choose the event from your calendar and specify your message.

Example SMS Personalization

To make your reminders even more effective, utilize our dynamic message personalization feature. Incorporate smart keywords into your messages that will be automatically substituted with real data from your Google Calendar events:

– **[event_date]** – Inserts the date of the event.

– **[event_start]** – Inserts the starting time of the event.

– **[event_end]** – Inserts the ending time of the event.

– **[location]** – Inserts the location from your event details.

For example, you might write:

“Hi! Just a reminder for your appointment on [event_date] at [event_start]. The meeting will take place at [location] and is expected to end by [event_end].”

Step 3: Send Your Reminders

Once everything is set up, sit back and let the system do the work. All SMS messages are sent directly from your mobile phone, ensuring that replies come back to you like any normal text. A significant advantage? You’re using your mobile plan, so there are no additional costs involved.
