The notification email
The notification email contains a summary of the change(s) to the calendar, as well as a link so that you can open the relevant event directly in the calendar.
- The first line indicates the email address that was used to subscribe to the notifications.
- Events are grouped by the type of changes made.
- There is a link to the actual event that has been changed or newly added.
- The calendar to which the event belongs to is also listed and is clickable.
- For security reasons, DO NOT forward any of your notification emails to others who may not be authorized to access your calendar link. To share a calendar event with someone who does not have access to the calendar, use one of the Sharing options on the event itself. See more about sharing a calendar events.
- Notification subscriptions for the email address are accessible by clicking the Manage your notifications link at the bottom of the email.

Important notes
- If you have administrator access to the calendar, you can see all notification subscriptions in Settings > Notifications, and manage them accordingly.
- Changes to past events are only available to users of Premium calendars.
- Emails are sent a maximum of every 5 minutes and are delayed at least 5 minutes after the first change happens. These limits are in place to reduce email volume.
- Daily summaries are sent out between 7am and 8am CEST (Central European Summer Time) and CET (Central European Time). This translates to 5am to 7am GMT, 1am to 2am US Eastern Time, 10pm to 11pm Pacific Time and 4pm to 5pm Sydney time.
- Email notifications can be disabled or enabled by the calendar administrator in Settings.
- If the administrator disables a notification subscription, this does not unsubscribe any existing notification subscribers, but only stops sending notification emails.
- If Notifications are enabled again by the administrator, subscribers will once again receive the notifications.
