What This Workflow Does

This automation handles five key tasks:

- Triggers automatically every morning at 9 AM — Cron-based schedule fires daily without any manual input - Fetches today's calendar events — Pulls every meeting from your Google Calendar for the current day in one clean call - Loops through each meeting individually — If you have 3 meetings, you get 3 SMS reminders; one per event, processed in order - Generates natural-sounding SMS with GPT-4o-mini — A 9-rule system prompt produces friendly, professional reminders under 160 characters with no greetings, no emojis, no sign-offs — just the meeting details - Delivers via Alive5 SMS — Sends each generated message to your US phone number in E.164 format, then loops back for the next meeting
