Step 6 / 6

Automate your messages

Advanced: reminders send themselves

After this step: Advanced: reminders send themselves

The advanced layer. If Steps 1 to 5 already changed things, pause here and come back later. When you're ready, this wizard walks you through the whole loop: your AI writes the reminders, Activepieces sends them, Render keeps it running.

↗ What leaves your device in this step

Your household data, continuously and automatically: to Render, Activepieces, your AI provider and WhatsApp.

This is your choice to make, and it's a reasonable one. We just won't pretend it isn't happening.

How the loop works

Render hosts Activepieces so it runs all the time
Activepieces talks to your AI through an API
On a schedule, it asks for today's and tomorrow's alerts
It sends each message to the right person on WhatsApp

Setup checklist

Create a free account at render.com
Deploy Activepieces on Render (one-click template)
In Activepieces: create a flow with a daily schedule trigger
Add an AI step (Claude / OpenAI) with the prompt below
Add a WhatsApp step and map recipient + message from the JSON
Run a test and send yourself tomorrow's alerts

Automation prompt (returns JSON)

✦ AI lesson inside

You are my household assistant. Today is [date].

Check my household system and return:
1. Any alerts that need action today or tomorrow
2. The message text to send for each alert
3. Who each message should go to

Return the result as JSON in this format:
{
  "alerts": [
    {
      "recipient": "Name",
      "message": "Short friendly reminder text"
    }
  ]
}
