Google-calendar – Multiple default Popup notification for ALL events

google-calendar

I'd like to be notified by a popup whenever an event is listed in my calendar.

I can see that Google Calendar has an option to email or SMS me under "Event notifications", but I don't always see my emails, and would like to have a popup notification show instead, at 30 minutes before, and 5 minutes before the event.

Is there anyway to do this?

The best approach I've found so far is to subscribe to my Google Calendar in my Mac Calendar, using the process detailed here on Google's Support site:

In short, the steps to import are:

  • On your computer, open Mac Calendar.
  • In the top left corner of your screen, click Calendar and then Preferences.
  • Click the Accounts tab.
  • On the left side of the Accounts tab, click Add Add.
  • Select Google and then Continue.
  • To add your Google account information, follow the steps on the screen.
  • On the Accounts tab, use "Refresh Calendars" to choose how often you want - Apple Calendar and Google Calendar to sync.

Now choose when alerts are shown by

  • Opening Mac Calendar
  • Choose "Preferences | Alerts | Account: Google"
  • Choose "Events: At time of event" or whatever you want
