Gmail Calendar Alerts Vs Notifications

Notifications are desktop popups that you can dismiss or snooze or email alerts.

Gmail calendar alerts vs notifications. The last item should be not confused with push notifications which instead of being delivered to a user notify another server of changes to a calendar. The calendar api provides support for reminders and notifications. Face to face meetings.

Open the gmail app. Creating a gmail reminder is just as easy on mobile devices. The two types of desktop event notifications are browser notifications and emails.

Personally i use them. You can add event notifications to each calendar in the form of notifications or emails. Select how long in advance you d like to get the alert.

Event notifications let you know that the start time for an event is approaching. On the left under settings for my calendars click the calendar you want to change calendar settings. A google calendar event is a richer calendar item than a reminder.

Unfortunately for the time being the reminders feature is only available in the mobile app and if you want to set a reminder from your desktop pc or mac it will have to be set on the app first at which point you can view it on the desktop app although it will only appear as a small red bar in between your other regular calendar entries. Notifications allow users to find out about changes to events in their calendar. You can also setup pop up and email reminders for you upcoming events.

Tap the email address for which you want to edit settings. Reminders are alarms triggered at a specified time before an event starts. Calendar uses email notifications to let you know of changes to an event.
