How to set reminder time in iCalendar invite

Celliven

Hi

I am using the Calendar invite, integrating to Outlook, as part of Change Management.

It works fine using the below script, though I have been asked for it to set the Outlook reminder to 2 hours before the start time.

Is there a line to be added that would set the reminder time?

Per wikipedia, you need to add a section like this before the



END:VCALENDAR



line



BEGIN:VALARM


TRIGGER:-PT1440M


ACTION:DISPLAY


DESCRIPTION:Reminder


END:VALARM



The second line is the number of minutes before to trigger (in minutes). Don't know all the options, but here's the reference.

Hi Chuck



Thanks for that, and very fast too.



That is the sort of thing I was looking for.



Just in the test phase now



Thanks again

Let me know if that answered your question. If so, please mark it as correct so that others with the same question can find it quickly in the future and that it gets removed from the Unanswered list. Thank you


I know this is old post, but quick correction. You should add the following section:

 

BEGIN:VALARM

TRIGGER:-PT1440M

ACTION:DISPLAY

DESCRIPTION:Reminder

END:VALARM

 

Before the "END:VEVENT" line not END:VCALENDAR.
