Push Notifications

Push notifications are a type of change notification. They are sent to your mobile device or browser when changes occur on your calendar.  They are not event reminders.

What are push notifications?

Push notifications are a type of change notification. Change notifications are triggered when something changes on your calendar; for example, when an event is added, the time or date of an event is changed, a comment is made on an event, someone signs up for an event, or an event is removed. Change notifications can be sent via email or as push notifications.

Any calendar user can receive change notifications. Only account users can manage their own notifications. See more details here.

Change notification types

When you set up push notifications for calendar changes, you can choose from four options to determine when notifications are triggered.

• All changes: A notification will be triggered by new events, deleted events, and any changes to an event including event comments and event signups.
• New events: A notification will be triggered when an event is created.
• Important changes: A notification will be trigged by new events, deleted events, and date and time changes.
• None: Notifications will not be triggered.

One notification type can be applied to all sub-calendars, so notifications are triggered in the same way for changes on any of the calendars.

Or the notification type can be set for each sub-calendar individually; this allows you to receive notifications from some calendars but not others, or to have notifications triggered for different changes. For example, you could receive notifications for all changes on Calendar A, only for important changes on Calendar B, and no notifications for Calendar C.
