Draft email replies and add calendar invites
A writer built a scheduled Claude agent using Gmail and Calendar connectors to draft replies and add invites to the calendar.
- What They Did
- The writer signed into Claude on a paid plan, enabled the Gmail and Google Calendar connectors, and used the /schedule skill in a plain-language prompt. It told Claude to scan the inbox hourly, review mail since the last run, draft replies where needed, and add invites to the calendar. A scheduled-tasks tab confirms the setup.
- How It Went
- The source gives no measured results. Claude drafts replies, but Gmail users must still review and send every draft themselves.
- Worth Knowing
- Scheduled tasks run in the cloud, while /loop in Claude Code only runs while your laptop is on. Both need a paid plan.
Try it yourself with Claude
Every [weekday morning or schedule], check my Gmail for new emails that need a reply and draft responses in my voice, using [a sample of my writing or tone notes]. If an email mentions a meeting or event, add it to my Google Calendar as an invite for [time zone]. You're done when drafts are saved and events added; do not send any email, and tell me about each calendar event you added.
