How To Setup Amazon Alexa Gmail Calendar Notifications

baldfreedom.com

How many times have you been sitting in the office and a calendar event, meeting or webinar came and went and you just simply forgot??

Well, calendar notifications can help, but I don't like stuff randomly popping up on my computer screen. Then I learned that Amazon Alexa could read my upcoming calendar items, but they are HORRIBLE and this mountain needs to be MOVED!!

Storytime...

One day, I asked Amazon Alexa to put something on my
gmail calendar and she explained that she could also do
calendar notifications.

I was like go head girl do your thang!!

I was standing near the bathroom device at
the time and in the days and weeks to follow, sure enough
Alexa would read my calendar events 30 minutes before it
started.

That is great! ...but the device in the bathroom was doing
it and I could hear that device from the office, but I could
not understand what was being said.

I settled for hearing the mumbled mess and then taking the
time to go to my calendar to see what Alexa was talking about.

This was inefficient. If I could hear Alexa then I would not
have to go read the calendar myself. Since I did not
originally setup the notifications, I did not know how to
change them. The video below shows how to change Amazon
Alexa calendar settings, including changing which device
does the talking!

Now!!... Alexa announces my calendar events from the
office device and this HORRIBLE solution has turned into a
HOORAY!!
