Calendar Push Notifications

This help doc explains calendar push notifications and how they work on events.

Calendar Push Notifications Overview

With AddEvent, you may allow one calendar push notification per event. Calendar push notifications depend on the attendee’s calendar platform and settings. AddEvent lets you enable notifications, but delivery is controlled by the attendee’s calendar service (e.g., Google, Apple). Their personal settings override yours.

How to Enable the Push Notification

To set up a push notification/calendar alarm for a specific event, follow these steps:

  1. Click the existing event's title from the Dashboard, or if creating a new event, begin on the Create event page.
    1. If editing an existing event, click the three dots icon located to the right of the event's title, and select Edit.
  2. On the Create event/Edit page, click the dropdown next to "Calendar push notifications set for", and select your preferred option.
  3. Click the Save event button to apply your changes.

🚧

Push notifications depend on both the calendar platform your attendee uses and the attendee's calendar settings. AddEvent provides the option to enable push notifications, but the push notification is controlled by the attendee's calendar service (such as Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, etc.). If the attendee has their own notification settings, these will override the push notification you set for the event.
