Being notified by email whenever a new event in the calendar shows up

Is there some way of being automatically notified for new events? I’ve already added the VHS calendar to my gcal but I don’t check that every day.

You may be able to do something with “if this then that”

No such recipe exists I think: Explore Integrations - IFTTT

As a temporary solution, I just grabbed the RSS link for the entire website and used something like blogtrottr to send me emails whenever there’s anything new. This isn’t ideal since I really just want the articles posted in Events and Courses, but this will have to do for now.

If anyone has figured it out, please let me know.

Beautiful thing about IFTTT is making your own to suit your needs. How would you like to be notified? Email?

Thanks for making that! I’ll be using it, but unfortunately most events only appear in the talk group and not in the calendar.

On second thought, maybe not. It asks for a lot of trust:

  • View and manage your mail
  • View your emails messages and settings
  • View and modify but not delete your email
  • Manage drafts and send emails
  • Insert mail into your mailbox
  • Manage mailbox labels

It’s a very powerful and useful tool, but that’s your choice obviously. If all you want are notices when something is posted in Events And Announcements board, just Watch the board

Or the #announcements on Slack

Done and done. Thanks.
