Send 1:1 performance review reminders to direct reports

Automatically detect upcoming 1:1 events across Google Calendar and Slack. Send reminder messages when 1:1 meeting approaches, calendar event starts, or reminder window opensβ€”so you can DM direct reports, post leader summaries, and confirm prep status without manual follow-up.

How this automation protects review prep and accountability

When 1:1 events approach but reminders are handled manually, prep slips and leaders lose visibility. This automation detects event starts, sends direct report messages, and posts consolidated leader remindersβ€”so your team can keep reviews on track.
