How do I choose when reminders are sent?
In Zapier, set the Google Calendar trigger to fire a specific time before the event (e.g., 24 hours or 1 hour). You can also create multiple Zaps for multi-touch reminders.

Can I personalize each SMS?
Yes. Map Google Calendar fields (attendee name, event title, date/time, meeting link) into your D7 Messaging template to personalize every reminder.

What if an attendee has no phone number?
Use a Zapier filter or lookup step to send SMS only to attendees with valid numbers. You can add a secondary email step if needed.

How are time zones handled?
Google Calendar stores event time zones. Zapier uses this data so your reminder timing aligns with each event’s configured time zone.

How do I stay compliant?
Only message attendees who have consented to receive SMS. Include clear identification and, where applicable, opt-out instructions per local regulations.

What does it cost?
You’ll need a Zapier plan appropriate for your task volume and a D7 Messaging account. Messaging costs depend on destination and volume. Review your D7 pricing and usage inside your account.
