Google Calendar + Sakari SMS

Send Sakari SMS messages when new Google Calendar events start

Google Calendar is great for managing your schedule, but getting a text message reminder 15 minutes before each event helps keep you organized. This Zapier integration will automatically send you an SMS event reminder 15 minutes before your Google calendar event is scheduled to begin.
