Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

A tradesperson runs his business from his phone. Quotes, site visits and supplier pickups are all in Google Calendar, but he rarely opens the calendar app before leaving the house and sometimes misses an early appointment he booked weeks ago.

A short message with the day's plan, arriving in a chat app you already check each morning, means you start the day knowing where you need to be. Freelancers, field workers and busy managers use it as a simple morning briefing.

What you get out of it

Your day at a glance
Times, titles and locations in one message tell you the shape of the day before you leave the house.
No missed early appointments
Seeing an 8am visit at 7am leaves time to get there, rather than discovering it at 9.
In the app you already open
Telegram is on your phone and quick to read. There is no need to open the calendar and scroll.
Weekends left alone
The message only arrives on working days, so your weekend mornings stay quiet.

How it works

What happens, step by step

Every weekday at 7am ClickRuntime reads today's events from your Google Calendar.

Build your own

Need it to work differently?

This template is a starting point. Copy the prompt and change it, or describe a different automation from scratch, with your own conditions, more apps or an AI step. Your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

Your own rules
Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.
Any number of apps
One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.
AI where it helps
Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.
On a schedule or on each event
Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

Changes you can ask for

Run it at a different time, more or less often, or only on weekdays
Change what the AI looks for, or how it writes the result
Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
Combine it with other Google Calendar and Telegram steps into one automation

Under the hood

The code that runs this automation

This is the Python script that runs each time the automation starts. Your AI assistant writes it for you when you send the prompt, and you allow each step in your assistant. To change how the automation works, describe the change to your assistant and it updates the script for you. For every function it can use, see the script reference.

FAQ

Common questions

Which calendars are included?

Your main Google Calendar by default. You can add others, such as a shared team calendar or a family calendar.

What if I have no events?

You get a short message saying the calendar is clear, so you know it ran and the day is free.

Can I change the time or days?

Yes. 7am on weekdays is the default, but you can pick any time and any days.

What permissions does it need?

calendar.readonly; bot token. Nothing else in your accounts is used.

Does it need AI?

No, but you can ask for an AI step (for example a summary). It then uses ClickRuntime's built-in AI allowance.

How many runs does it use?

One run each time it runs (on a schedule). Checks that find nothing to do and stop right away aren't counted.

Can I change how it works?

Yes. Describe the change to your AI assistant, for example a different schedule, channel or filter. It updates the automation, tests it and tells you what changed.
