How this automation works

Get a visual reminder for upcoming meetings by lighting up your Das Keyboard Q. This Applet runs when an event is about to start on your Office 365 Calendar, sending a Signal that changes a key’s color and can blink to capture your attention. It’s perfect for busy professionals who want a non-disruptive, glanceable reminder of what’s next on their schedule.
