Manual & automated reminder creation
With Remind1 you have the ability to create reminders in 2 ways:
- Manually - by left clicking on an event in your calendar while the Remind1 app is open
- Automated - by including the mobile number (or contact name) in the event title (or event description)
Which way is better for me?
You should create reminders manually if you want to...
- be able to change the reminder text (e.g. add the recipients name for a more personal approach)
- send to multiple recipients (e.g. classes with multiple participants)
If none of the above is true you should consider to create reminders automated to save time.
Manual reminder creation
Make sure to have Remind1 installed in your Google Calendar - learn more
- Left click on an event while the Remind1 app is open
- Fill in the recipient and update the reminder time / text if needed
- Set the reminder
If the reminder has been scheduled successfully, a bell icon 🔔 is added to the event title.
Send reminder to a Google Contact
If you have the recipient saved as a contact in your Google Contacts, you can simply write the full name instead of the mobile number.
Remind1 uses the following priorities to determine the contact's correct mobile number:
- Numbers tagged with "Mobile" in the contact data.
- Alternatively: the primary number (=the first number in the contact's number list)
Send reminder to multiple recipients
If you want to send to multiple recipients (e.g. multiple participants in a class), simply separate the entries by comma or use a new line for each one.
Send reminders for repeating events
If you select a repeating event you will note a new dropdown field "Repeating event" above the "SET REMINDER" Button.
Here you can choose if you want to set the reminder only for the selected event or for the upcoming next X events as well.
Important: Please note that...
- altered repeating events (e.g. if you change the title for one of the events) are not considered
- you have to delete the individual reminders before you delete the whole event series

Please make also sure to complete the setup for automated reminder creation first:
After completing the setup, simply add the mobile number with a leading hash symbol ("#") to the event title or event description.
If the reminder has been scheduled successfully, a bell icon 🔔 is added to the event title and reminder data is added to the event description.
Send reminder to a Google Contact
Add the full Google Contact name with a leading "at" ("@") character to the end of the event title.
