Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

  • A Mac running macOS 12 (Monterey) or later
  • ClickMimic installed (download here)
  • Your calendar applications (Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, etc.)

Tips for Reliable Calendar Automation

  • Use keyboard shortcuts: Cmd+N for new events and Tab to move between fields is faster and more reliable than clicking.
  • Standardize event templates: Create consistent naming and duration formats to make automation predictable.
  • Add confirmation pauses: Include a brief delay after event creation to ensure the calendar syncs before the next action.
  • Test timezone handling: Verify your automation works correctly when dealing with events in different timezones.
