Hi Charlie, AFAIK (I'm working on confirming some of this):
sendEventNotifications should control only invites, updates and cancellation notifications. It should not control reminders. From my understanding, setting sendEventNotifications to true will still follow the user's calendar preferences for these types of notifications. (aka.. false=suppress notifications, true=enable notifications if the user has them enabled for their calendar) There is not currently a way to get the default reminder. In the near future, I hope to have reminder syntax operate as the following: No <gd:reminder> element = no reminder scheduled <gd:reminder> with no additional atttributes = reminder scheduled using the user default <gd:reminder> with attributes = use the specified value(s) Reminders and notifications are currently only available for the primary calendar. Also, I tried the test where I created an event without a reminder and without sendEventNotifications and was able to update the reminder time through the UI successfully. Does this answer your question Charlie?
