The problem it solves

You've got a growing list of scheduled automations running behind the scenes, but nobody except you knows when they fire. When something breaks or overlaps with a meeting, there's no easy way to see it coming.

Who it fits

An operations lead managing multiple scheduled automations across a growing business.

How it works

  1. Every 30 minutes the system checks all your scheduled automations
  2. It reads each one's schedule and compares it to what's already on the calendar
  3. It creates a new calendar event for any schedule that's missing
  4. It updates or removes events when a schedule changes
  5. Your team sees every automation's run time on Google Calendar
What you get

One shared calendar everyone trusts

Every scheduled automation shows up automatically on your team's Google Calendar, so everyone can see what is running and when.

What you get

A Google Calendar kept automatically in sync with every scheduled automation's run time.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and access to your automation platform's API.

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.
