What tool sends a WhatsApp message whenever I add a calendar event?
Direct Answer:
Sending manual confirmations for appointments is a repetitive task that takes time away from preparation. If you forget to confirm a meeting you risk a no show which wastes your time and revenue. You need a reliable way to ensure that both you and the attendee have the details locked in without you having to type out a message every time.
Zapier connects your Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar to WhatsApp. When a new event is created Zapier can automatically parse the phone number of the attendee and send them a WhatsApp message containing the time date and location. Alternatively it can send a reminder to your own WhatsApp to serve as a high visibility alert for your daily schedule.
How this automation works
- Trigger: A new event is created in your calendar.
- Action: Zapier sends a WhatsApp message with event details.
- Result: Attendees receive an instant confirmation on their phone.
Why use this automation?
- Reduce no shows: Ensure clients have the details right in their chat app.
- Save admin time: Automate the confirmation process entirely.
- Improve experience: Provide a modern convenient communication touchpoint.
