What in particular do you mean by "alert"? Via the Calendar API, you can schedule (and retrieve preferences for) reminders via the <gd:reminder> element. There are three reminders currently supported by the API: "alert", "email", and "sms". http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/elements.html#gdReminder Most cellular providers (at least here in the US) provide an email/SMS gateway. However, the emails we send out for reminders are much too large to send via SMS. If you want to send an SMS to an unsupported service provider, you'll probably need to setup a proxy service that converts email reminders into shorter SMS messages. -- Trevor Johns --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Calendar Data API" group.
