Let Claude sort email replies and calendar invites

A writer scheduled Claude to watch Gmail, draft responses, and turn meeting emails into calendar entries.

What they did
The writer used a paid Claude account, switched on the Gmail and Google Calendar integrations, and set the task with the /schedule option in everyday language. They told it to check for fresh messages every hour, focus on mail that arrived since its previous pass, write reply drafts when needed, and place meeting requests on the calendar. The scheduled-tasks view shows that the job was created.
How it went
Claude produces draft responses, but the person still has to review and send each one from Gmail. No usage totals or other measurements were reported.
Tips
This setup requires a paid plan. Cloud-scheduled tasks keep running independently, while Claude Code’s /loop feature stops when the computer is off.

At [chosen interval], review my Gmail for any new messages since your last check. For emails that need a reply, write a draft in my usual style using [sample messages / style notes]. If a message is about a meeting, event, or appointment, prepare a Google Calendar invite for [time zone]. Stop before sending anything or finalizing any invite, and show me a clear list of the drafts and calendar items you created so I can approve them.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
