GReminders solves for Client Appointment Reminders<\/a> via Phone, SMS, and Email. But often you want to remind yourself about a Meeting or Appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways to get notified of Events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

for Google Calendar Users:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The out-of-the-box notification for Google Calendar Users is App-based Notifications. Google removed the SMS Notification feature in January 2019<\/a> in favor of these app-based notifications. You can get notified on your Desktop or Mobile Device. These use “push notifications” from Windows, Mac OS, iOS (iPhone), or Android. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To set these up go to your Google Calendar Settings<\/a> (click on the Cog Wheel once you are in Google Calendar) and make sure you have Desktop Notifications enabled:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Settings\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then go to each of your Calendars in Google Calendar and setup default notifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Go<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can setup your Events to notify you multiple times and prior to any Meetings. When you have Meetings, those notifications will automatically pop-up on your Desktop like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

or if you install the Google Calendar App (Android<\/a> \/ iPhone<\/a>) on your Mobile Phone like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Notification<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This works pretty well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those who miss the SMS Notification, GReminders can help. Read more below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

for Outlook \/ Office 365 Users<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like Google, Microsoft has also discontinued SMS Notifications in Outlook<\/a>. They also are pushing in app \/ desktop notifications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enable these desktop notifications, navigate to your Outlook Calendar, and click on the Cog Wheel icon. Enable Desktop Notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Style\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then prior to a meeting you will see something like this on the bottom right corner of your desktop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Notification\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can do the same on your Mobile Device (Android<\/a> \/ iPhone<\/a>) if you have Outlook App installed on your Smart Phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GReminders now allows you to send yourself SMS Notifications. To enable these simply signup for GReminders<\/a>, select the Calendars you want to send reminders on and setup the notification times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, choose “Personal Reminders” from the menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

and click “New Personal Reminder”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
New Personal Reminder button<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Choose a time period before the event start to send the reminder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Save your template and you’re all set. You will receive SMS or Email Reminders to your Mobile Phone or Email at those times, like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Your<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Super simple. And you can set up as many reminders as you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
