Google Calendar + SparkPost

Send email from SparkPost when a holiday is coming up on Google Calendar

Having trouble keeping track of upcoming holidays? Want to let your customers and employees know that you'll be closed next Monday? Zapier takes care of all that with through automation. By setting up this Google Calendar-SparkPost integration, you can receive notifications ahead of holidays: It will trigger whenever a particular event on your calendar that matches your search terms is about to start, automatically sending out an email from SparkPost to your recipients in response. Whether it's for the office, your customers, or simply personal, this integration keeps everyone up to date!

Note: By default, this calendar looks for events including the term "Holiday", and triggers 3 days before they start, but this is customizable.
