How to set reminder time in iCalendar invite

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,

 

Thank you for the solution. But, when I am trying to add below lines of code, I see reminder is always set to 1M. Can you help me further?

 

BEGIN:VALARM
TRIGGER:-PT10M
ACTION:DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION:${alarm_time}
END:VALARM

I found this article extremely helpful in setting a 15 minute reminder for my change request calendar items.
