I am looking to send an automated email to the invitees of a calendar event 5 weeks in advance of the event using an email template in Google Docs that has been created.
Question
How do I set up automated emails from a Google Docs template to event invitees 5 weeks ahead using Zapier?

Hi
Try these Zap steps:
- Trigger: GCal - Event Start
- Specify the time before/units
- Action: Gmail - Send Email
- You’ll need to create the email template in this step
The email template does not allow for branded images. I am also open to adding a PDF with our content. However, from GDrive it will not find the document no matter what I do.

You can use an email body in HTML format to include images.
Images must be publicly hosted.
If you will always be including the same PDF of a GDoc file then you won’t need a GDrive step.
Still does not work for your steps in the PDF. I can not find the doc. Gives an error. I will find an HTML Generator instead I think

For us to have context, we would need to see screenshots with all your steps are outlined and configured along with the encountered error.
