The problem it solves

Working with teams across different countries means someone always forgets a local holiday, leading to missed responses or scheduling mix-ups. Manually tracking holiday calendars for every country you work with is tedious and easy to overlook, especially around weekends. You want a heads-up before a holiday catches your team off guard.

Who it fits

Project managers, executive assistants, or global sales and support teams working across countries.

How it works

  1. Every day at 5 PM, the system checks for holidays
  2. It looks up public holidays for the countries you choose
  3. On Fridays, it checks both the weekend and the coming Monday
  4. If a holiday is coming up, an email alert goes out
  5. A reminder is also added to Google Calendar
What you get

Holiday surprises your global team never blindsides you with

You get an email and calendar reminder before public holidays hit your international team, so nothing catches you off guard.

What you get

An email alert and a calendar reminder ahead of any relevant public holiday.

What you need

A Gmail account and a Google Calendar account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
