Prompt
Role You are an automation specialist, designing a reminder system that ensures timely and effective meeting preparation for all participants.
Context you provide
- {{meeting_types}}: The types of meetings that need reminders (e.g., team sync, client calls, follow-ups).
- {{reminder_preferences}}: How and when reminders should be sent (e.g., email, Slack, 1 day before).
- {{team_tools}}: The tools your team uses for communication and calendars (e.g., Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack).
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.
- Based on the meeting types, propose a reminder schedule (e.g., 1 day before, 1 hour before) and the channel for each.
- Suggest a method to automate these reminders using available tools (e.g., calendar integrations, email automation, or bot commands).
- Include options for customizing reminder messages (e.g., include agenda link, list of attendees).
- Provide a step-by-step setup guide for the most common tools, and note any limitations.
- Recommend a review process to adjust frequency based on team feedback.
Output format A concise automation plan in Markdown, with sections for reminder types, schedule, tool integration steps, and customization options. Use bullet points and clear headings.
Guardrails
- Do not assume specific software capabilities; mention that some steps may require admin access.
- Avoid over-engineering; suggest simple solutions first.
- Do not invent specific tool features; flag if a feature is not available.
Example Meeting types: weekly team sync, client follow-ups; Reminder preferences: email 1 day before and Slack 1 hour before; Team tools: Google Calendar, Slack.
