Enable Subscription Calendar Push Notifications

🚧

AddEvent account holders (calendar owners) cannot enable email notifications on behalf of their subscribers. Each subscriber must set up notifications in their own Google Calendar settings to receive updates. If you are the owner of the subscription calendar, share this guide with your subscribers so they can set up notifications themselves.

How to Enable Email Notifications for a Subscription Calendar in Google Calendar

1. Access Calendar Settings
   • In Google Calendar, find the subscription calendar you want to enable notifications for. Click the three dots next to the calendar’s name, then select Settings from the menu..

2. Navigate to Notification Settings
   • Scroll down in the Settings menu until you see the Other notifications section. Click on it to view notification options.

3. Enable Notifications for New and Updated Events
   • Next to New events and Changed events, you’ll see dropdown menus. For each option, select Email to ensure the subscriber receives notifications via email whenever a new event is added or an existing event is updated in the subscription calendar..

What Happens After Enabling Notifications?

• Email Notifications for Updates: Once notifications are enabled, you will receive an email whenever a new event is added or an existing event is updated in the subscription calendar.
• Email Subject Line and Details: The subject line of the email will indicate the type of update:
  • For new events: "New event"
  • For updates: "Updated event" - The email will include key details about the event, such as the title, date, time, and any other relevant information.

🚧

If an event series is updated, Google Calendar will send a separate email for each event in the series. This means multiple emails might be sent if the entire series is modified at once.
