• Connect your calendar account

---

Step 3: Format the Calendar Output

  > “Here’s my calendar for today: {{EventSummary}}. Summarize it and suggest top 3 priorities.”

Step 5: Choose an Output

💡 Pro Tips

• Set the Zap to run each morning at 7:30 AM
• Create a recurring “Daily Briefing” Custom GPT to receive the output
• Keep prompts short — Zapier has a token limit
• Clone your Zap and tweak for weekly recaps or end-of-day wrap-ups

🔐 Privacy Note

This method does not give ChatGPT access to your full calendar — it only sees what you send it via Zapier. You can review and sanitize the output before use.
