A meeting tomorrow → a reminder 24 hours ahead, with a "can't make it" link

The problem

A client who misses a meeting does not mean harm — they forgot, or something changed and telling you felt awkward. The result: an hour burned, sometimes two with the drive.

What happens when it runs

1. Schedule: every day 09:00
2. Read the meetings sheet: status "booked", date tomorrow, reminder not yet sent
3. An email to the client: tomorrow at X, and a "can't make it" link that opens a ready email to you
4. Mark the reminder in the sheet so it never goes out twice

The tools inside

Disclosure: links marked "paid link" pay us a commission from the vendor if you sign up. Your price is unchanged, and every file here works without them. How we choose tools →

• Make — the automation engine · Sign up (one month of Core free) → paid link · we earn a commission
• Google Sheets — log and lists
• Gmail — email
• Cal.com — scheduling with real availability — its booking webhook can be the trigger instead of a form · Set up free scheduling → paid link · we earn a commission

Before you start

Three things to have ready before importing, or Make will ask and you will have to leave halfway:

• The meetings spreadsheet id
• Your email address (for the "can't make it" link)
• The email wording

Sheet templates

The file maps columns by position. Start from exactly these headers, in this order — a column in the wrong place writes a phone number into the email column.

• Meetings sheet · client | email | date | time | status | reminder_sent (Sent with the blueprint by email)

How to import (2 minutes)

1. In Make: Scenarios → Create a new scenario
2. At the bottom, the three dots (⋯) → Import Blueprint → choose the file you downloaded
3. Click every module with an exclamation mark: choose your connection (Google, Telegram) — Make creates one in a click if you have none
4. Replace every value in double curly braces ({{…}}) with your own from the list above
5. Run once with a test row in the sheet. Only when it passes — Schedule and ON
