ICal client/customer automatic eMail reminders

So iCal can totally send reminders to those who are "attending" an event. But what about sending an automatic eMail reminder that has custom text in it? I own a business and we'd like for the appointments that we have in iCal to send eMail reminders that remind our customers what day and time their appointment is, along with directions, and what they should bring. The eMail would say the same thing for every customer, but is it possible to customize the eMail reminders? or is there an add on/plug in that can be bought or another application that simply reads the iCal appointments or anything?!?!

Maybe this will help.

ICal email reminders

Is iCal able to send email reminders if the computer is asleep?

No, but it should send them when it wakes up again.

ICal automatic email (or SMS) reminders for appointments

I schedule many individual appointments each week and would like to have iCal send an automatic reminder to my clients about 24-48 hours before each appointment. I have not found any way to do this in iCal and have only seen this question unanswered on old posts. If iCal can't do it is there an app that will do it? I have an iPhone 4S, iPad and MacBook Air, all with the latests updates. Thanks in advance.

Re: Receive billing email or sms alerts
I currently receive an email to advise my account is available included is an attachment containing the actual bill.
however now that attachment is missing and I do not know which account it refers to.
I do not wish to use the Myaccount facility as I already have too many passwords etc to use and remember & at my age I suffer some memory loss. If the previous attachment method is no longer available I will have to return to the unreliable Aust post system where my mail often fails to arrive. Due to various medical conditions I am often not at my residence. but am able to keep track of incoming bills by email.

Ical email reminders get marked as junk

I have many repeating (weekly) email reminders set up in ical and every time one is sent Mail marks it as junk. I have my junk rules set up to allow email addresses from my address book (which has me in it). Am I doing something wrong? Has anybody else had this problem? Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
However, when my MacBook Pro goes to sleep, the networking shuts down, and no emails are sent until I get to work and wake it up.
Hm. True enough. It wouldn't be asleep if it was still sending out emails in the background
1) Is there a way to get iCal to send out reminders when the computer is sleeping?
No way that I know. Sleep by definition means the computer's functions are suspended. The system would have to wake, spinning up the hard drive and loading the OS so that iCal could then trigger an email, and then go back to sleep.
2) If not, is there a way to forward my iCal events to Google Calendar? I can download Google Calendar to iCal, but I can't seem to push stuff to Google Calendar.
If you add your Google Calendar to iCal you should be able to put all your events into that calendar. That calendar is CalDAV so it will be updated on the Google server and then also update any other systems that are reading that calendar (Linux and otherwise)
If you are unable to make changes to your Google calendar in iCal I would suggest you remove it and re-add it.
Hope that helps.

ICal email reminders are not sending

My email reminders from iCal are executing but they are remaining in the outbox and are not sending. I'm not sure why. In order to send them I have to open up each one individually and send them.
I'm on 10.5.2 and using a .mac account.

Yeah, same problem here. Used to work fine, but since I switched to Leopard (10.5.2), it hasn't worked yet. Mail sends emails fine, but doesn't via iCal. Not sure how to test or troubleshoot this besides using test events.
Anyone know of an iCal log somewhere?
Thanks,
(Ha! Mail just crashed, as I was typing this. I think I'll stick with Entourage. Anyway of telling iCal to use Entourage?)
(Maybe I'll just set up a Google Calendar and sync to that and have Google email me reminders. Jeez...)

What determines the address iCal email reminders are sent from?

*What determines the address iCal email reminders +are sent from+?*
On our g4 iMac, running Tiger, my wife has multiple pop3 email accounts. 6 to be exact.
She only has one address listed in her address book, and that is her own main primary address.
She recently started using iCal email reminders for reoccurring events. At first she was getting emails from her main address mailed to her main address. Works as planned.
But recently, she is getting reminders emailed to her main address send from one of her other POP 3 email accounts. This is not desirable. She needs them to come from her main address, the one that is her primary account and is listed in the address book. She is not sure what caused this change or why.
So the question is, what determines the address the email reminder is sent from and how can you change this to another address.
THX

Yes, that's what I thought too.
There is only one address besides the "APPLE" card in her book, and that is her primary address, and unfortunately, NOT the one her reminders are coming from.

ICal email reminders late

I used iCal for years on my old MacBook Pro, but since purchasing my new MacBook Pro, the email reminders I set up in iCal are being delivered a week late. Not sure what's up with that.
TIA,

Ical-email reminders sent late/post event

this is inconsistent, but ical often sends email reminders AFTER the date of the event - sometimes i set it for 3 days before & i get it the day after - no, my computer has not been asleep or off for those days... i am guessing this happens at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the time - help???

if ical is closed or the computer is in sleep mode, does that mean it won't send?
Yes. The application has to be running and your computer needs to be "awake" for anything to happen. It's not possible to take any action when your computer isn't in a state to take the action. That doesn't mean your screen needs to be lit; it can be blacked out by the screen saver after a few minutes of inactivity.
You can use an alarm, if you're at the computer, but the point of using the feature you describe is avoid having to be at your computer to make it happen. I've never used the feature, but I'm sure Apple tested it beforehand. Even so, you should test it by using it to send emails to one of your email accounts (not the one you're sending from) before using it for something important.

Is there any way to turn off the ical feature whereby someone emails you a meeting date/time and it automatically goes on your iCal?

Is there any way to turn off the iCal feature whereby when someone emails you a meeting date/time and it automatically appears on your calendar? Once there they can't even be edited or deleted.

Greetings,
What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
You should be able to delete events in iCal as long as they are not from a "Subscription" calendar. Subscriptions show up on the left hand side of iCal under the "Subscription" category if you have any.
You can tell iCal to not check your mail program for invites by going and unchecking the box found in iCal > Preferences > Advanced > "Automatically retrieve..."
Hope that helps!

Stopping automatic emails from iCal

I would like to use Siri to tell my phone to set up appointments with clients. I tried this and while it did mark the meeting in iCal, it also instantly sent an email to the client about the appointment. I do NOT want iCal to send these emails! How do I prevent this?

When the system was set up the creator chose to have autosubscription enabled. This means that any create or update action will generate a file to all participants in the Workspace.
The subscription setting is at an individual level so can be switched off by the individual using the https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/BOLAdmin.html tool - navigate to the All My Workspaces tab and click on the Workspace - the right hand panel will allow you to disable the subscription for you on the Workspace - or allow you to restrict the notification to a folder/sub-folder.
If you need to have the subscription unset for the group you need to do 2 things:
1. Go to the group creation tool - click on the group name and switch off the auto-subscribe. this will stop any new users being set up with subscriptions.
2. Let us know the Workspace name via the [email protected] email address and we can remove it from the existing users en-masse.

Sending email reminders to other people?

Hi.
I use iCal to keep a schedule that colleagues are supposed to submit their work. I'd like to have iCal automatically send them an email reminder the day before it's due, but of course iCal only allows you to send emails reminders to yourself (and I don't feel like adding an extra 13 email addresses to my VCard)...
Any workarounds or suggestions? It's driving me nuts!!

Hey guys!
I'm trying this too. I found a site earlier where someone claimed to have written an AppleScript to do this - however, the download link was dead and the page hadn't been updated in several months.
I tried John's suggestion. For some reason when I attempt a redirect, I just get a Mailer Daemon error saying the email I put in didn't exist...however if I set the rule to FORWARD the email (to the EXACT same email address) everything went through fine.
It's a band aid - but forwarding may work. Anyone else have some other ideas?

Ical client setup with 10.6 server

I have iCal server up and running on my 10.6 server and everything seems to be working right. however I have set the server side up to use ssl and have opened those ports on my firewall which works. My problem is that after setting up a user I send out the welcome email and that has the configure my mac link. Which was done before I change the iCal server settings to use ssl. And now every time I go in and manually set the server settings to use ssl on the client side and quit and reopen ical another account is added without the ssl settings. How do i get it to stop automatically adding an account to iCal?

This looks like a bug in the iCal client. I, too, have had problems with delegated calendars and end users mistaking events for being missing, not updated or incorrect only because their local copy was not synced with the true copy on the server. The refresh rate on delegated calendars can be changed with the "Refresh calendars: [ Every 1 minute ]" preference. You can verify this by right-clicking or control-clicking on the delegated calendar and choosing "Show CalDAV Queue." This brings up a queue of activity with the iCal Server. You'll note at the top that it mentions "Refresh every 1 minute."
The problem, of course, is if you quit iCal and recheck the "Show CalDAV Queue" on the delegated calendar, the refresh interval has reverted to some long interval like 300 or 900 minutes. This is a bug, for sure. For now, you can tell your clients not to quit iCal or to refresh manually or reset the refresh interval whenever they restart iCal/their computer, etc.

Need to Generate PDF file and send it to customer through email-ALV report

HI All,
I am having data in Internal table.
can we create PDF file with out having spool-request number.
My requirement is whenever user clicks on execute button the output is generated in PDF format automatically and then send it to customer through email.
I found few programs in SDN for generation PDF. But problem is everyone passing the spool request to the function module.
spool request will be generated whenever we click on print button.
Am I correct?.
Is there any other way to create spool request automatically. If so we can pass the this spool number to the function module.
Regards,
vinod.
