Send Slack messages to the current event participants with the meeting link

You probably have many meetings to attend throughout the week. But when you spent hours preparing a perfect presentation or a demo, and other meeting participants don’t show up, it’s frustrating. You wait alone in Zoom, wondering when they’ll show up. 

Meeting reminders are one of the most effective ways to prevent no-shows, and this automation will do it for you with one click.

It will match the event participants from Google Calendar to Slack users based on their emails, extract the meeting link, and send the following Slack message:

A quick reminder that we have the following event coming up: {link}

Go ahead. Click the “Try it!” button above and give it a go!
