Summary

Meetings run better with an agenda, but only if you remember to actually make one. Why not automate the process? Here's how to automatically create an agenda in Google Docs every time you schedule a meeting in Google Calendar using Zapier. To start, set up a new Zap with Google Calendar as the first step and choose whether to use New Event or New Event Matching Search to trigger your Zap. Next, connect your Google account to Zapier and select which calendar will automatically create agendas. You can also add search terms to control which events trigger the agenda creation. After setting up the action, choose Google Docs as your app and Create Document from Template as your Action Event. Select a template for your agenda, add fields such as date, time, and meeting name to the document name, and choose the folder where the agenda will be created. Finally, test your Zap and see an automatically generated agenda in Google Drive. You can also add additional action steps to send the agenda to your team or set reminders.
