Help Disable Notifications on events added 15 minutes ago

[danieljdoughty]

I use my calendar as part of my timekeeping system so I can bill customers for services. So I frequently add time into my calendar for an event that started 30 minutes ago.

Example: It's 9am. I started work on their website at 8:30. I create an event for 8:30-10:30 as I'm estimating how much time I'll spend working on their system. I create this event via the google calendar interface on a web browser on a comptuer, NOT on the phone. A few seconds after I create the event I get a notification on my phone that I'm late to an 8:30 event.

Can anyone think of a way to disable this function.

If not I suppose I might have to create another calendar with notifications turned off entirely and add time to those calendars but I'd like to avoid one more calendar if possible.

Sorry for being so late on a reply. I read this before, but didn't think of this answer until now.

There's a free app "Time Recording" by DynamicG that just might be a better solution for your application.

good luck

I don't do time entry on my phone. I do time entry via the web.

I work on computers. If I'm working, I can get to a web browser with a keyboard and enter data much faster than I can on a phone.

The issue is the notifications popping up on my phone. Anyhow, I've just disabled notification creation as a default on new calendar events. I wish there was a better option but I haven't found one.

Thanks for the idea. It's creative but doesn't fit my flow.
