Configuring calendar reminders
By default, SavvyCal will attempt to honor your default reminder settings from your calendar system when creating calendar events on your behalf. You can adjust your preferences to set no reminders or override the defaults with something specific.
A note about terminology: we call these reminders, but they are also called notifications, alarms, and alerts, depending on your calendar system.
Adjusting calendar reminder settings
To adjust your settings, head to Settings > Links and scroll to the Calendar Reminders area.
Quirks among the various providers
The various calendar systems handle reminder settings in slightly different ways.
Apple/iCloud
While other providers replace the defaults when you customize reminders, Apple will set both their default reminder and the selected custom reminder on SavvyCal events. Disabling reminders for Apple will disable the default.
Fastmail
Fastmail doesn't currently support third parties (like SavvyCal) creating calendar events using Fastmail's default reminders. To add reminders to Fastmail calendar events, select one of the presets instead of the "Use calendar defaults" option.
