E-mail alerts - how do I?

Hi,
I'm wanting to send out an e-mail alert for one of my iCal events. It is something I think will be very useful to do automatically. The docs are so limited, I'm wondering if iCal is as limited as what's listed when searching help.
I'm just starting to get into iCal and hope it can make my scheduling complete.
1) I want to know how to get the program to know my address. My own info is already in my address book but it says I need to add myself there. Confusing how to set that up.
2) How to have an e-mail alert sent to people through e-mail to get their work to me by a certain date -- a reminder to them.
If iCal does NOT do these things, I would appreciate knowing so I could look to other applications to handle these actions. And suggestions for that would be very welcome as well.
Thanks!
Still on Tiger with iCal Version 2.0.5 (1069)

1) go to Address Book, select your contact card, make sure you have the right info there, and make sure the first email listed is the one you would like people to use when accepting your invitations from ical, then while your contact card is still selected go to card>make this my card, which will make your card "my card" so that ical knows which card is yours and which email to use.
2) in ical, double click on a day in week view, this will create a new event, then double click on that new event, this will bring you in edit mode so you can start adding info to that new event. you will notice an attendee field, add the attendees there - they should all be entered as contacts in your Address Book so it is easier to add them to an event, rather than adding manually every time, make sure you enter data in all the other fields. in the note field i would suggest you add info telling the attendees when to get their work back to you or by which date... then when done editing click the done button, the event will exit edit mode and an email will be sent to all the attendees. additionally, you will notice that an alarm can be set, so set up an alarm as an email and address it to one of your emails, minutes/hours/days before the event, that way an email will be sent to you reminding you of the event. once you receive this reminder in your inbox, you can forward that email to the attendees. to make it easy to forward to your attendees, i would create a group in your Address Book and add all the attendees to that group - file>new group, name the group then save and then drag and drop each attendee card to that group - so that way when forwarding, in the to field of the email you will just select the group and click send.
hope this helps

  • How to send e-mail alert to the user job is successful or failed.

    Hi Experts,
    I have scheduled a job using DBMS_JOB Package; in this job I am calling a procedure.
    How can we send an e-mail(alert) to the user if the job is successful (or) job fails.
    If the job is successfully completed, then we have to send mail as “Job is completed successfully along with job name”.
    If the job fails we have to send email as “error message of the job along with job name”(why the job is failed).
    This alert should be sending automatically no manual intervention.
    Please help me.

    Hi,
    I think you can do by creating mailing procedures and call it in the loop and outside the loop.
    There would be two procedure one in inside loop which will execute after successfull completion of the loop.
    Other would be in the exception block like i shown in the below code you have written;
    V_variable_1 you can use as a parameter for what is the error occured.
    like suppose your mailing procedure name is Status_email and Status_email_1.
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE APPS_GLOBAL.arc_procedure (P_ID IN NUMBER)
         IS
         CURSOR C IS SELECT id,table_name,archive_table_name,where_condition

         WHERE id = p_id
         ORDER BY id, table_name;
    V_VARIABLE_1 NUMBER;
    V_VARIABLE_2 VARCHAR2(400);

  • How create mail alert without triggering the event.

    1.     SR 3-4924626351: How create mail alert without triggering the event.
    We wanted to send alert mail every 10 days or 15 days or 1 month to a reporting manager of Opportunity Owner with details of that Opportunity. I don’t want to use any triggering of event like the Following. When new opportunity is created When modified Opportunity is saved etc.

    Raju,
    If you don't want to use the triggering event, you will have to do this manually.
    Manually:
    - Create a Web Link on the SR with and embed the mailto: function with the receivers email and subject and body embedded in the url (you can find this link on Google)
    - When this link is clicked, an email window will open with all the details you provide, and you can click the send button to send the email.
    - You will have to do this manually every 10-15 days or whatever is the duration
    Auto:
    - Create a time based workflow on a new Opportunity Created event
    - create a action to send an email notification to the concerned person (details in the workflow properties)
    - This workflow will auto send an email every 10-15 days to the opportunity Manager.
    The time based workflow is the best option I see. Do you see any issue/ concerns with auto generated emails?
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I stop receiving Mail alerts on the iPad? E.g when browsing Safari a Mail alert box will pop up when I receive a new email. I don't want this alert. Thanks.

    How do I stop receiving Mail alerts on the iPad?
    e.g. When browsing in Safari I will be interrupted by a 'ping' sound and a Mail alert box every time a new email comes in to my Inbox. This is irritating. How do I stop this? To see if I have new Mail I just prefer to go to Mail and my Inbox at convenient intervals.
    Thank you.

    The same way you'd change any notifications: Settings>Notifications>Mail. Change it to "Banner" or "None".

  • How can I turn off the New Mail alert on my iPod Touch?

    I have an iPod Touch (version 6.1.3). The other day I was waiting for an important e-mail, so I  turned on the New Mail alert. It worked fine. Now I want to turn it off, but  I can't. I went into Settings and then to Sounds and changed the selection from the sound I'd selected ("Bell") to None. It says "None" but every time I get a new e-mail, it still makes the bell sound.
    I also tried going into Notifications and then to New Mail Sound and setting it to "None" but that didn't change anything
    Any ideas what I'm missing?
    Thanks!

    Try removing the mail totally from your notifications center.
    I have everything turned off and the banner set to none.

  • E-Mail Alerts, Change SMTP Port

    I'm trying to set up e-mail alert notifications in Enterprise Manager. I have port 25 heavily used elsewhere, and I beleive this is preventing connection. I cannot conect to port 25 with the telnet test, but I can cannot to port 23. How do I change ports?
    Oracle Database 10.2.0.4

    The front end application (SmarTeam PDM) is using port 25 for it's workflow. I havn't tested yet with that service off. I'm just wondering why that server can connect to to SMTP, but the Oracle server cannot?HELP!
    I am easily confused.
    Please clarify how many different systems are involved in this discussion, by providing actual hostname & description of their function.
    Firewall rules can be such that System A is allowed to initiate a connection with System B using port #25
    This same firewall could be configured to prevent System B from initiating a connection on port #25 with System A.
    Please clarify the originating system, the terminating system & the port being used/attempted.
    I still suspect internal Firewall rules are getting in your way

    Hi,
    To set up e-mail for workflow notification.
    In planning - Administration > Application Settings
    Under System Settings in the E-mail Server box - enter the smtp server information.
    essbase.log will be in arborpath directory e.g. C:\hyperion\AnalyticServices\essbase.log
    Also there is a log file for each application. e.g. C:\hyperion\AnalyticServices\app\Sample\Sample.log

I use my phone for work and want to assign e-mails from specific people to audibly alert me and let all the rest remain silent so I'm not bothered by unimportant e-mails. My old Blackberry let me do this for years but so far can't get my iPhone to do it. Is this available with iOS5?

  • Louder tones for ringing, text and e-mail alerts

    How can I increase the sound settings to make the ring tones, text & e-mail alerts louder? I have used the rocker switch on the side to turn up the volume to the max but I still miss calls and alerts. No I am not deaf either!! I am sure other users must face the same dilemma. Thanks. Colin.

    i hate to point this out but with 1.1.4 and a non-hacked phone you can make custom ringtones for incoming calls - you have a selection of built in sounds for text msgs but no way of adding custom ones - for the other alerts you can just turn them on or off - you cant chose the sound they make
