Although Google Calendar never had an option to send SMS or text alerts to other businesses or outsiders, it did use to have the feature of sending SMS reminders to yourself before the actual event. But as of January 7, 2019, Google Calendar has barred that feature.
The next thing we wanted the answer to was, can google calendar text reminders?
It doesn’t include text reminders. Google Calendar was created for personal use, and though many businesses use it, it’s lacking important features that businesses need. You can’t set any appointment text reminders, let alone manage replies.
It’s easy to automatically send text message reminders for appointments you schedule in Google Calendar—just connect your Google Calendar (s) to Simple. Texting using Zapier.
Select how far in advance before the Google Calendar event you want to send your text reminder. In the example above, we set the reminder to send out 10 minutes before the appointment. You can also add a search term, so that your SMS appointment reminder only sends for events with the specific term.
