A questions about Calendar Notifications.

[NSYoung]

Hi, I recently purchased a FitBit Blaze and I had a question in regards to its calendar notification feature. Is it possible for my FitBit Blaze to display notifications from my Google Calendar, rather than the Apple's integrated Calendar?
Thank you in advance.

My thoughts would be yes, after installing this google calendar app.

I've scheduled an event on both my Google Calendar application and the Apple Calendar application and the FitBit Blaze seemed to only notify me of the event on my Apple Calendar, so that didn't work 😞

I believe you can sync your google calendar to your apple calendar. Would that work for you?

@NSYoung Hey there! 

The following is a bit from our product manual, which may be relevant to your usage: 

"If you have an iOS device, your Blaze shows notifications from all calendars synced to the default iOS Calendar app. If you have a third-party calendar app that is not synced to your default app, you won’t see notifications from that app.

If you have an Android device, your Blaze shows calendar notifications from the calendar app you choose during setup. You can choose from the default Calendar app on your mobile device or several third-party calendar apps."

I did not see that when I set it up on Samsung

I needed to go into meet my calender settings and set notifications to popup

I use google calendar as my primary calendar and have added it to the iOS calendar app in settings. As a result my goole calendar alerts are all passed to the Blaze.

I have an iPhone 6. I am not getting any of my calendar notifications. I use the iPhone calendar app to import gmail calendar and outlook. I don't see any settings on the Fitbit app, the watch, or my phone to turn on/off calendar notifications. Please let me know what to do. Thanks

[Rich_Laue]

 Hi @rem-fit make sure the calendar is enabled in the phones notification center.

There also is a thread on this subject in the iOS forum

[rem-fit]

I have done that, I have also uninstalled/reinstalled the app. Calendar still doesn't sync.

how do you link your google calendar (google calendar app)  to apple so that your google events alert on the blaze? i swear i've tried everything and i'm still not getting them..I only get them using the calendar app that comes on the iphone, which I don't like. any help is appreciated!

[SunsetRunner]

@SunsetRunner you can add your google calendar to your iOS account within the settings page of your iOS device; scroll down to Mail, Contacts, Calendars and the Add Account. You'll find Google there. Personally I don't use google calendars so can't vouch for the alerts working but my outlook ones come across, so should, in theory, work.

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a great day 🙂 @jbab2b welcome to the Fitbit Community! @rem-fit and @Deepak48 if you are having issues with calendar notifications please review this help article it will help you get calendar notifications on your iOS device. @lincorn you just need to add the Google calendar to your iOS calendar app in settings @SunsetRunner shared the steps on this post. Because if you have an iOS device, your Blaze shows notifications from all calendars synced to the default iOS Calendar app. If you have a third-party calendar app that is not synced to your default app, you won’t see notifications from that app. 

Let me know if this helps! 🙂

So is fitbit working on a way to have 3rd party (Google Calendar) calendars link directly to the fitbit blaze W/O having to link the iOS claendar to the Google calendar? 

[AngelaMa]

hello @Jsalinas welcome to the Fitbit Community! I would suggest to post your idea for third party calendars to link directly to the Fitbit Blaze on the Feature Request board this is the best place to make your voice heard. 

Catch you later!
