Question 1

How do I send a WhatsApp reminder before a calendar event?

Accepted Answer

Run a scheduled workflow that uses list calendar events to fetch upcoming events, then for each one send a WhatsApp text message to the attendee. A delay node can space reminders so they land at the right lead time.

Question 2

Can I create a calendar event from a WhatsApp message?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start with the WhatsApp receive message operation and connect a Google Calendar create event from text node, which parses natural language like "lunch Friday at noon" into a real event.

Question 3

How do I notify attendees when an event changes?

Accepted Answer

Use the Google Calendar on calendar event trigger, which fires when events change. When it detects an update, send a WhatsApp message with the new details to the affected attendee.

Question 4

Can the workflow reply with my available times?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When a WhatsApp message asks about availability, use the query calendar availability operation to get free and busy windows, then format the open slots into a WhatsApp reply.

Question 5

How does the workflow know which phone number to message?

Accepted Answer

Map the recipient from the event attendee data or from a separate contacts source. The calendar event holds attendee email addresses, so you may need a lookup step to resolve a phone number.
