Are u there?

Inspiration

Managing events on Google Calendar can be tiresome, and having to ask people if they can make it at that time can add a lot of overhead while working on different tasks.

What it does

The script will query your calendar using the Google Calendar API, and check which tagged events (#Courier) have attendees which have not responded yet. To those people it will periodically send reminder emails.

Challenges we ran into

The Google Calendar API exposes limited information about the participants, so the main providers that can be used are email providers. The Courier profiles API did not provide an endpoint to query existing contacts with a given email address. That way more communication channels could have been used.
