Google Calendar + Zenpa

A retainer check-in is a title and a time. The real substance lives in the threads and files around that client. Zenpa connects Google Calendar to that context on your Mac so you can prepare for meetings, recall the last one, and create the next event.

Connect Google Calendar

Download Zenpa for Mac, sign in with Google Calendar, then choose which calendars to sync. There are no API keys to configure.

  1. Install Zenpa on your Mac and open the app.
  2. Connect Google Calendar with the normal sign-in flow.
  3. Choose which calendars to sync.
  4. Ask Zenpa a question about that content, or draft a reply when you are ready.

Prepare for a Google Calendar meeting

Ask what you need for the meeting. Zenpa pulls the related threads and files from your local vault.

The problem: The invite has a title, but the prep for that client is scattered across email and chat.

What Zenpa does: Zenpa already linked that context to the people and projects on the event.

  1. Ask Zenpa what you need for the upcoming meeting.
  2. Name the person or event if you have several today.
  3. Open any source you still need to review.

What you get

You ask: What do I need before my Willow & Grain retainer check-in with Dana tomorrow?

Zenpa answers: Dana is expecting the revised content calendar, confirmation that the homepage hero is live for the spring menu, and pricing for the two extra photography days due Tuesday.

Zenpa used the calendar event plus related local context.

Recall the last meeting with someone on Google Calendar

Ask what you covered last time. Zenpa finds the prior event and the notes or threads around it.

The problem: You are about to meet a client again and cannot remember what was left open.

What Zenpa does: Zenpa reconstructs the last meeting from calendar history and linked memory on your Mac.

  1. Ask Zenpa what you last covered with that person.
  2. Check open follow-ups in the answer.
  3. Open the cited notes or mail if you need detail.

What you get

You ask: What did Dana and I cover the last time we met?

Zenpa answers: On May 28 you reviewed the spring menu shoot plan and agreed the two extra photography days had to land before she would loop in the kitchen team.

Zenpa answered from the prior calendar event and related sources.

Create a Google Calendar event

Tell Zenpa what to schedule. It drafts a calendar event you review before anything is created.

The problem: You agreed on a time in chat or email, then still have to open Calendar and rebuild the invite by hand.

What Zenpa does: Zenpa turns your instructions into a draft event with title, time, and guests, then waits for your review.

  1. Ask Zenpa to create a calendar event and name the people, time, and topic.
  2. Add any notes or agenda points that should be in the invite.
  3. Review the draft, edit if needed, then create it when it looks right.

What you get

You ask: Create a Google Calendar event: Friday 10 AM retainer check-in with Dana about Willow & Grain content, 30 minutes, include Parker

Zenpa answers: Draft event: Willow & Grain retainer check-in. Friday 10:00 to 10:30 AM. Guests: Dana, Parker. Agenda note: content calendar, homepage hero status, and photography day pricing.

Zenpa drafts the calendar event. You stay in control of what gets created.
