What would be the best way to send reminders for calendar events?
Ideally inside the app with some kind of notifications…
Other than that I guess it’s just via e-mail notifications with integromat or something like this?

Exactly…Integromat works well here. You could set up a pseudo notifications area using tab visibility, but its not a true push “notification”…just a forced navigation in Glide.

Do you happen to know if you can send reminders via integromat for example 1 week before the date? Or would you need to calculate the reminder date in the sheet?

Good question. Not sure. I imagine you need to do the calculation and send if “within 1 week” is true for example.

If you have a sheet with dates, set Integromat to look at it on a regular basis (scheduling is very flexible) then create an “alert” as you wish. You could even include the “alert x hours before” column in your sheet and have Integromat use that.

I’d rather have the user add the event to their calendar and use their in-app calendar notifications.

It’s really easy to s…
