Summary: Personal event reminders send you a push notification before a company meeting, training, or social gathering starts, so you are never caught off guard. By default, you get one notification 10 minutes before an event begins, but you can change this per event or set your own default for all events.
1. How personal event reminders work
Reminders are tied to your RSVP. They are automatically activated whenever you respond Attend or Maybe to an event. If you have not responded, or you selected Decline, no reminders are sent for that event.
2. Setting reminders for a specific event
You can adjust the reminder timing for an individual event so the alert arrives exactly when you need it.
From a computer browser or the mobile app:
- Find the Event in your Feed, or open it from the Events page.
- Set your response to Attend or Maybe so the reminder controls unlock.
- Click or tap the reminder icon and select your preferred notification times. You can check multiple boxes if you want several reminders leading up to the start time.
- Confirm your selection. Once active, the app shows a confirmation.
3. Setting your default event reminders
If you do not want to adjust reminders for every single event, set your own default. Once configured, it automatically applies to every event you RSVP to.
- On desktop: click your avatar, then the gear wheel (Settings), then Personal Settings, and open the Events tab. Choose your default reminder times there.
- On mobile (iOS and Android): open your menu and go to Events > Event Reminders to update your defaults.
Frequently asked questions
Can I select multiple reminders for a single event?
Yes. You can select multiple times at once. For example, you can get an alert one day before, an hour before, and 10 minutes before the event starts.
How do I change the default 10-minute reminder?
Go to your personal Settings and open the Events section (or tap Event Reminders in the mobile app). Any changes you make there become your new default for all future event RSVPs.
