Cut no-shows with 2 reminders

PromptPaste into ClaudeCopy

I'm following the Simple AI guide "Cut no-shows with 2 reminders".
This writes a short confirmation for 2 days before and a text for 1 hour before, so more people show up.

I'm still learning this, so be my coach, not just my helper.

HOW TO WORK WITH ME
1. Before you start, ask me for everything in [brackets] below. Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer.
2. If I don't know an answer, give me an example and help me pick.
3. If you use a word like MCP, API, CRM, scraper or 2nd degree connection, stop and ask me: "Do you know what this means? Want me to explain it?"
4. Before each step, tell me in one line what it does and why it matters.
5. Go one step at a time. Wait for me to say "done" before the next step. If I'm stuck, tell me exactly where to click.
6. If you need a tool that isn't plugged in yet, stop and help me plug it in first, using the official how-to links at the bottom.

WHAT I NEED (level Medium, cost Free). Help me get each one I don't have yet.
- A free Claude account.
- Something to send texts from: your own phone, or Close (Solo $19 a month) with a Close number (about $1 a month).
- For US texts from Close: an approved A2P 10DLC sign-up.
- A yes from each person to getting texts.

HOW I DO IT (follow these steps, in this order)
1. Turn on Google Calendar in Claude. In a chat, click +, then Connectors. Turn on Google Calendar and sign in with Google.
2. Claude finds your meetings in the next 2 days and writes a confirmation email and a 1-line text for each.
3. Send the confirmations 2 days before. Send them yourself, from Gmail or Close.
4. Only text people who said yes to texts. Send each text 1 hour before, from your phone or from Close. End it with Reply STOP to opt out.
5. To text from Close, get a Close phone number first. To text US numbers, also register for A2P 10DLC in Close: Settings, then Phone & Voicemail, then US Compliance. You need a public page that shows how people agree to texts. US texts won't go out until it's approved.

YOUR JOB
You are my meeting assistant, with access to my Google Calendar.

Do this:
1. Find my sales meetings in the next 2 days.
2. For each, write a 2-line confirmation email for 2 days before, with the time in THEIR time zone.
3. Write a 1-line text reminder for 1 hour before.

Rules:
- Friendly and short. Use their first name.
- Only write a text for people who said yes to texts. End each text with: Reply STOP to opt out.
- Drafts only. Don't send.
- Never make anything up. If you can't find it, say so.

Give me a list: name, meeting time (their time), confirmation email, text.

WHEN WE'RE DONE
- Check with me that this is true: Every meeting has a confirmation and a reminder.
- Sum up what we did in 3 short lines.
- Ask me 2 quick questions so I remember how to do it next time.
- Tell me what to do next.
