Calendar: Daily Schedule Briefing
Receive an automated morning briefing with your day's events, prep notes, and important reminders on your preferred channel.
What You Will Get
After this setup, your OpenClaw agent will send you a daily briefing every morning with your schedule for the day. The briefing includes event times, titles, locations, attendees, and preparation notes, delivered to whatever messaging channel you prefer.
Starting your day with a clear view of what is ahead reduces stress and improves preparation. Instead of opening your calendar app and scrolling through events, you receive a neatly formatted summary that tells you everything you need to know about the day.
The briefing is more than a simple event list. Your agent adds contextual information like travel time between meetings, gaps in your schedule for focused work, and reminders for any preparation you need to do before specific meetings.
Step-by-Step Setup
Configure your agent to deliver a daily schedule briefing each morning.
Verify Calendar Connection
Ensure Google Calendar is connected in your RunTheAgent dashboard with at least read permissions. The agent needs to read your events to generate the briefing. If not yet connected, follow the Google Calendar Events guide to set up the connection first.
Set the Briefing Time
Configure what time the briefing should be delivered. Most people prefer receiving it 30 to 60 minutes before their typical start time. Set the timezone and choose the specific hour and minute. The agent sends the briefing at this time every day, including weekends if configured.
Choose the Delivery Channel
Select which connected channel should receive the daily briefing. Popular choices include a direct WhatsApp message, a Telegram chat, or a dedicated Slack DM. You can also configure multiple channels to receive the briefing simultaneously for redundancy.
Configure Briefing Content
Define what the briefing includes. Standard items are event time, title, location, and attendees. Optional additions include meeting descriptions, attached documents, travel time estimates between locations, and preparation reminders. Enable the items that add value to your morning routine.
Add Preparation Notes
Enable smart preparation notes that the agent generates based on your events. For meetings with external participants, the agent can summarize who they are. For recurring meetings, it can remind you of action items from last time. For events with agendas, it surfaces the key discussion topics.
Configure Weekend and Holiday Behavior
Set up rules for non-working days. You can skip the briefing entirely on weekends, send a condensed version, or only send if there are events scheduled. Configure holiday detection based on your locale so the agent adjusts automatically for public holidays.
Test the Briefing
Trigger a test briefing from the RunTheAgent dashboard to see what it looks like without waiting for the scheduled time. Review the content, formatting, and channel delivery. Add or adjust some calendar events and trigger another test to see how the briefing updates. Fine-tune the content settings until the briefing matches your preferences.
Tips and Best Practices
Include Buffer Time Visibility
Configure the briefing to highlight gaps between meetings. Knowing you have a 45-minute break between 11:00 and 11:45 helps you plan focused work or personal tasks.
Add a Weather Summary
If your events involve travel or outdoor activities, add a weather summary to the briefing. This helps you prepare for the day beyond just your schedule.
Review the Evening Before
Consider adding an evening preview briefing for the next day in addition to the morning one. This gives you time to prepare for early meetings the night before.
