How do I have Calendly appointments added to my calendar with an alert?

 

I have my Calendly appointments sync to an Apple calendar. When the appointments are added to my calendar, they do not have an alert (as an Apple calendar event), even though I my default appointments have alerts. Is there some way to set them to have an alert?

Hi @EricTytell!

It sounds a bit like this might be on the Apple side of things as Calendly doesn’t bring over (or suppress) any alert settings. There’s a whole section in this article over here (under “Troubleshooting in Apple Calendar” > “Alerts or notifications aren’t working”). The other thing I’d check would be default settings for new events (alert or no alert?).

Hope this helps a bit!


@jillian Hi Jillian, I’ve been having the same issue, and am unable to figure out a solution. Would you be able to relink the comment you posted above? It looks like that link doesn’t lead to another webpage. Would appreciate any help you can provide!

Hey there, Harris! Thanks for pointing out the dead link to us! I’ve fixed it above, and here it is again! I hope this helps! If you aren’t able to get it sorted after reading that post from Apple, I suggest reaching out to their own community here or Apple Support here. Good luck! 


I don’t know if anyone still has this problem; however, after reading through the thread I was able to turn the feature on.

  1. Click Calendar
  2. Click Settings
  3. Click Alerts
  4. Select iCloud for Account (Very important, this was the only way I could get it to work on my Mac. 
  5. Choose your alert time in Events

Enjoy your preset alerts.  I hope this helps someone out.  Here’s a screenshot…

Hi @jillian 
Do you know how to add the alert in Apple Calendar, but only on those events coming from Calendly?
Mine is default off, but I want to enable those from Calendly.


Hi @Tommy83365,

Hmm. I unfortunately don’t know! I just took a quick look around and I think Apple alerts tend to be an all or nothing type of thing, but I could definitely be wrong. Might be worth looking around to see if there are any Apple articles or resources or even third party tools/plug-ins for selective or filtered notifications.
