Notifications

CalendarHero keeps you informed through your preferred platform — whether that's email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams. You can control which platform receives notifications, when briefings are sent, and what they include.

Notification platform​

Your default notification platform is where CalendarHero sends scheduling updates, morning briefings, and upcoming meeting alerts. To set it:

  1. Go to Installed Integrations
  2. Click the Chat tab
  3. Click … next to your preferred platform and select Send Notifications Here

If you use the Outlook or Chrome plugin, notifications always default to email — plugins cannot receive chat notifications.

Morning briefings​

Every morning your assistant can send a briefing with:

  • Today's weather (based on your work location)
  • A list of your upcoming meetings
  • Status of any pending meeting requests (who has responded, who hasn't)
  • A summary of your productivity savings

Set your preferred briefing time in General Meeting Settings. Morning briefings are sent via your default notification platform.

Meeting briefings​

One hour before each meeting, your assistant sends a meeting briefing to help you prepare. This includes the meeting details and, if you've connected a CRM or ATS, a direct link to the relevant record (deal, contact, or candidate) in that system.

Turn meeting briefings on or off in Meeting Settings.

Reminders​

You can ask your assistant in chat to remind you about anything at a specific time — for example:

  • "Remind me to call Roy at 11 am on Tuesday"
  • "Remind me to log my time every day at 5:30 pm"
  • "Remind me at 2 pm to prepare the NDA for the Monaco deal"

Reminders are added to your calendar and sent via your default notification platform at the specified time. Recurring reminders are supported. To cancel a reminder, go to Active Tasks and click Cancel.

Email footers​

Add a custom footer to the automated meeting invite emails your assistant sends on your behalf. Go to My Profile → My Assistant and enter your custom text. Your footer is added after the default email content.

Team admins can set a footer for the whole organization from Admin Settings → Email. An admin-set footer overrides individual user footers.

Frequently asked questions​

Can I turn off morning briefings?

Yes. Go to General Meeting Settings and turn off the Daily Briefing toggle, or remove the briefing time.

What's the difference between a morning briefing and a meeting briefing?

A morning briefing is sent once a day at a time you choose and gives an overview of everything coming up. A meeting briefing is sent 1 hour before each individual meeting with the specific details for that meeting.

Can I receive notifications via email if I have Slack connected?

Yes. Your default notification platform determines where notifications go, but you can change it at any time from your Installed Integrations. If you remove or disconnect a chat platform, notifications fall back to email.

Can I get the daily briefing the night before?

No. The earliest available briefing time is 5:00 AM on the same workday. You can set your preferred briefing time in General Meeting Settings.
