- 3Describe the meeting prep email outcome in one plain-language instruction.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real upcoming Cal meeting and review the Gmail draft.
Questions about this workflow
Does Cal provide the agenda automatically?
Only use an agenda if it is available in the event details or you provide it. The automation should not invent one.
Will this send the email?
No. This workflow creates a Gmail draft for you to review.
