I was working on an on-call basis and sometimes bookings would roll in day-of.
The problem was: be inundated with notifications of every single booking or check my calendar far too often.
I decided to connect to the Google Calendar API and make a bot allowing me, via Telegram, to set specific dates and receive notifications of bookings only for those days.
