How to Use Event Reminders

For Teamup account users, event reminders alert of upcoming events. Reminders are sent at a specified time before an event starts. Currently, reminders are delivered by email only.

There are two ways to enable reminders for a calendar:

• Add reminders for single events
• Add reminders for all events on selected sub-calendars

Reminder: event reminders are only available for Teamup account users. To set up event reminders, you must be logged in to your account. You can set up event reminders no matter what level of access you have.

How to add reminders for a single event

You can add reminders for a single event on a browser or on Teamup’s mobile app.

Add single event reminders on a browser

1. Make sure you are logged into your Teamup account.
2. Open your calendar and select an event to open it.
3. Next to Reminders, select Show to open the dialog:
   
4. Select Add new reminder:
   
5. Set the timing for the event reminder as desired, then Save.
   
6. Select X to delete any reminder.
7. When finished managing event reminders, select the green Done/Save button in the event reminder dialog. Then select Save (event editor) or select X (event viewer) to close the event.

   

Add single event reminders on the Teamup app

1. Make sure you are logged into your Teamup account. Your user avatar should be showing in the top right of the app.
2. Open your calendar and tap to open an event.
3. Tap the bell icon in the top right.
4. Tap the green + button (bottom right) to add a new event reminder.
5. Choose when to have the reminder sent, then tap the checkmark in the top right.
6. Repeat step 4 and 5 if you want to add multiple reminders for the same event.

To change or remove an event reminder, tap the reminder to open the Edit reminder screen and make those changes.

Note: For all-day events, you can set event reminders for a number of days or weeks before the event. For events with a start time, you can set event reminders for minutes, hours, days, or weeks before the start time.

The bell icon indicates the number of event reminders.

Add reminders to all events on a sub-calendar

If you want to be alerted for all events on certain sub-calendars, adding reminders event by event can be tedious. In this case, you can set up a reminder for all events on those sub-calendars. This can be done in the Preferences Dialog.

1. Make sure you are logged into your Teamup account.
2. From your calendar, select the blue menu button (top right corner).
3. Select Preferences, then Default Reminders.

   

4. In the Reminders screen, click on the Edit icon (it looks like a pencil) for the desired sub-calendar.
5. Add one or multiple reminders and specify the timing for each one.
   • These reminders will be enabled for all current and future events on that sub-calendar.
   • Reminders for time-specific events and all-day events need to be specified separately. As you can see in the screenshot below, the Event Reminders section sets reminders for time-specific events, and the section below it, All-Day Event Reminders, sets reminders for all-day events.
6. Select X to delete any event reminder.
7. Select Save to complete the process. 

Important to know

• Currently, reminders are delivered by email only. More delivery options will be added in the future.
• To work around the current lack of support for mobile push notifications, you may like to consider this approach: Subscribe to your Teamup Calendar from another calendar application, for example, Apple iCal, Google Calendar or Outlook. Then, enable reminders for the subscribed calendar in that third-party application.
• An alternative to reminders is the Daily Agenda feature, which is an email sent every morning that lists all the events for the current day. Read more.
• Teamup also supports Change Notifications which alert you when changes occur in your calendar. Read more.
