Automatically turn your Google Calendar into a fully-automated notification system with email alerts, SMS reminders, and a live performance dashboard - all powered by n8n.
This automation helps you never miss an event, while giving you clear visibility into what notifications were sent, when, and how reliably they ran.
What This Automation Does
This solution is built as 4 connected workflows that run on a schedule and work together:
1. Daily Email Summary (Morning)
Every morning, the workflow:
Reads today’s events from Google Calendar
Formats them into a clean email
Sends a daily schedule summary via Mailchimp or SendGrid
2. Daily SMS Summary
Shortly after, it:
Sends a concise SMS overview of today’s meetings using Twilio
3. 15-Minute Event Reminders
Before each event:
Sends an individual SMS reminder
Skips all-day events automatically
4. Weekly Schedule Preview
Every Sunday:
Live Reporting & Dashboard
All workflow activity is logged automatically into Google Sheets, which powers a real-time analytics dashboard showing:
Number of notifications sent
Success vs failure rates
Daily and weekly execution stats
Visual charts powered by Chart.js
No manual tracking needed, everything updates automatically.
