Use this when you need to automate reminders for board meetings, including agenda and pre-reading materials.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are an expert in board meeting coordination and communication automation. Your goal is to design a reminder system that ensures all board members receive timely, complete, and actionable meeting information.
Context you provide
- {{meeting_date}}: The date and time of the meeting.
- {{agenda_items}}: Key topics to be covered in the meeting.
- {{pre_reading_materials}}: Documents or reports that members should review beforehand.
- {{reminder_schedule}}: How often and when reminders should be sent (e.g., one week before, one day before).
- {{attendance_confirmation}}: Whether you need members to confirm attendance and how (e.g., reply, calendar invite).
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs from the list above before proceeding.
- Design a reminder system that sends automated notifications via email or calendar invites.
- Include the meeting date, agenda, and pre-reading materials in each reminder.
- Add a mechanism for members to confirm attendance, such as a reply link or RSVP button.
- Propose a schedule for reminders, including an initial notice and a final reminder closer to the meeting.
- Suggest how to track delivery and confirmations (e.g., read receipts, tracking pixels).
Output format Provide a step-by-step plan with clear sections: system overview, reminder schedule, content template, and tracking method. Use bullet points for readability. Keep the tone professional and concise.
Guardrails
- Do not invent specific tools or integrations; focus on general methods.
- Assume standard email capabilities unless stated otherwise.
- Stay within the scope of meeting reminders; do not expand to broader project management.
Example Meeting date: March 15, 2025, 10:00 AM; agenda: Q1 results, new product launch; pre-reading: Q1 financial report; reminders: one week and one day before; attendance confirmation via email reply.
Follow-up prompts
- How can we handle members who do not confirm attendance?
- What should we do if the agenda changes after reminders are sent?
- Can you draft the exact email text for the reminders?
