Morning Briefing with Email and Calendar

Example prompt: "Every morning at 7am, summarise my unread emails, list today's meetings with attendee info, and send me a daily briefing on Slack."

How to automate morning briefings with GloriaMundo

The Problem

Most mornings start the same way: open your inbox, scroll through dozens of unread emails trying to identify what matters, then switch to your calendar to see what is on the agenda, then mentally piece together how the day should unfold. This ritual takes 15-20 minutes and it is easy to overlook an important email buried between newsletters, or forget about a meeting until the reminder pops up five minutes before. The information you need to plan your day is split across two apps, and stitching it together is entirely manual.

How GloriaMundo Solves It

We build a workflow that runs every morning at a time you choose. An integration step fetches your unread Gmail messages — subject lines, senders, and a preview of each body. A second integration step pulls today's events from Google Calendar, including meeting titles, times, and attendee lists. An LLM step reads both sets of data and produces a single, structured briefing: a prioritised email summary highlighting anything that looks urgent or time-sensitive, followed by your meeting schedule with notes on who you are meeting and what each meeting is about (inferred from the invite details). The briefing is delivered to you on Slack as a single message you can scan in under two minutes. Glass Box preview shows you the draft briefing before it is sent, so you can adjust what gets included.

Example Workflow Steps

  1. Trigger (scheduled): Runs every morning at 7:00 AM.
  2. Step 1 (integration): Fetch unread emails from Gmail — sender, subject, and body preview.
  3. Step 2 (integration): Fetch today's events from Google Calendar — title, time, location, and attendees.
  4. Step 3 (LLM): Synthesise both data sources into a structured morning briefing — prioritised email highlights and the day's meeting schedule with context.
  5. Step 4 (integration): Send the briefing as a Slack direct message.

Integrations Used

  • Gmail — source of unread emails for the daily summary
  • Google Calendar — source of today's meetings, attendees, and scheduling details
  • Slack — delivers the formatted morning briefing

Who This Is For

Busy professionals, founders, and managers who want to start their day with a clear picture of what needs attention, without spending 15-20 minutes switching between their inbox and calendar. Since this workflow reads your emails and calendar, use the Glass Box preview to check what personal details appear in the briefing before it is delivered.

Time & Cost Saved

The morning inbox-and-calendar check typically takes 15-20 minutes. This workflow condenses it into a two-minute scan of a single Slack message. Over a working month, that is 5-7 hours saved on the morning routine alone — and because the LLM highlights urgent items, you are less likely to miss something important. The workflow uses integration and LLM steps, costing a few credits per daily run.
