Calendar in-app reminder notifications

Front’s in-app calendar reminder notifications are a helpful way to stay on top of your schedule. You can set a reminder time for calendars or specific events and Front will send you a desktop notification before your events. In this article, we’ll walk through how to customize notifications for calendar and events.

Step 1

Open your calendar by selecting Calendar in the navigation menu.

Step 2

In the calendar list on the left side, hover over the calendar you want to edit reminders for, click the three-dot icon, and then select Edit calendar.

Step 3

From the edit menu, add or remove notifications for this calendar. Front supports up to 5 reminders for a single event and the time of the notification can range from 0 minutes to 4 weeks before the start of the event.

Step 4

Click Save to finish.

Note: The default notification settings that you set up in Front only pertains to push notifications. To set up default notifications as email reminders, you'll need to edit the notification settings in Google or Office 365.

For some events, it can be helpful to have reminders that differ from the default reminder settings of the calendar. Front also supports event-specific reminder overrides, which can be edited when creating or editing a calendar event. Simply open the event and adjust the reminder time.

Reminder notification settings are synced only when an event is first created. Changes to reminders made after creation, in either Front or your provider's calendar app, will not synchronize between the two.

To enable or disable calendar notifications in the mobile app, tap the sidebar icon at the top left, then tap the gear icon. Under Notifications, toggle on/off Calendar - Reminder notifications.
