Using Calendar Notifications

This section explains how to create notifications for a specific calendar.

Teamup Notifications alert users to changes made to events on the calendar. The instructions below are for all users at all levels of access rights.

  1. Click the menu sign in the top right corner and select Notifications.
  2. Enter your email address and specify when and which sub-calendar(s) you wish to receive notifications.
    The default setting is to receive notifications for all sub-calendars. Select Selected sub-calendars from the drop down list to set up receiving notifications for selected sub-calendars only. Select the specific changes for notification.
    Note: Important changes’ includes new events, deleted events and date and time changes.
  3. Click Save. Email notifications should appear in your inbox from Teamup Calendar
Note: Consider the following:
  • Email notification subscriptions are unique per calendar link and per email address. If you subscribe more than once using the same calendar link with the same email, you overwrite any previous subscriptions and only the last one is kept. To see what your email address is subscribed for, follow the ‘Manage your notifications‘ link at the bottom of the email. If you are new or not sure if you have subscribed, simply add your email address (again).
  • It is important to sign up for notifications from the correct calendar link to ensure that the email that is sent has the correct link back to the calendar. For example, if someone with Add-only permission receives email notifications, then the calendar should first be viewed using their add-only calendar link, then Notifications opened and the person’s email address entered.
  • If notification emails are added from the administrator link then all recipients will receive the administrator link to the calendar in their emails – this is a security and privacy risk. Ideally everyone should subscribe themselves, using the link that he or she was given to access the calendar
  • Entering multiple email addresses for the same calendar link can lead to receiving many emails. If you have more than one email address, be sure to add the most appropriate one, otherwise you will receive duplicate notifications to all of your email addresses.
  • Changes to past events are only available to users of Premium calendars.
  • Emails are sent max every 5 minutes and are delayed at least 5 minutes after the first change happens. This is to reduce email volume
  • Daily summaries are sent out between 7am and 8am CEST (Central European Summer Time) and CET (Central European Time). This translates to 5am to 7am GMT, 1am to 2am US Eastern Time, 10pm to 11pm Pacific Time and 4pm to 5pm Sydney time.
  • Email notifications can be disabled or enabled by the calendar administrator in Settings.
