Draft email replies and add calendar invites with Claude
A writer built a scheduled Claude agent using Gmail and Calendar connectors to draft replies and add invites to the calendar.
Done with Claude Cowork
What they did
The writer signed into Claude on a paid plan, enabled the Gmail and Google Calendar connectors, and used the /schedule skill in a plain-language prompt. It told Claude to scan the inbox hourly, review mail since the last run, draft replies where needed, and add invites to the calendar. A scheduled-tasks tab confirms the setup.
How it went
The source gives no measured results. Claude drafts replies, but Gmail users must still review and send every draft themselves.
Worth knowing
Scheduled tasks run in the cloud, while /loop in Claude Code only runs while your laptop is on. Both need a paid plan.
Try it yourself with Claude Cowork
Every [weekday morning or schedule], check my Gmail for new emails that need a reply and draft responses in my voice, using [a sample of my writing or tone notes]. If an email mentions a meeting or event, add it to my Google Calendar as an invite for [time zone]. You're done when drafts are saved and events added; do not send any email, and tell me about each calendar event you added.
