Notifications question

[Andrew103]

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest how I might set up my notification options on the Ionic. I use Outlook on my Android mobile phone for both emails and my calendar. I want to get calendar reminders on my watch (for meetings, etc.) but I don't want notifications for emails.

So in the Fitbit app, under Notifications I have Calendar Events set On and the Default Calendar App set to Outlook. I have Emails set Off so it shows as Disabled. These seemed like the logical settings to achieve what I want, but I am getting notifications on the watch every time I receive an email.

Does anyone know if there is some additional option or setting I am missing so that I can stop the Outlook email notifications without stopping the Outlook calendar reminders?

@Andrew103 the Fitbit app is set to look for calender notifications from outlook. Therefore it assumes that any outlook notification is a calender notification. 

Either outlook doesn't send the notification type or fit it doesn't look at what type of notification it is seeing.. 

My thoughts are that you will need to turn of email notifications through the outlook settings.

Is there a specific setting you can use in Outlook to send notifications to Fitbit?

@Rich_Laue This seems to be the case. Disabling the email notifications in the app is giving me the results I want. Obviously I don't the email notifications on my phone either, but that's not a big deal for me - I can check those manually on my phone when I want to, but need the reminders for appointments, etc. It does seem the Outlook app isn't differentiating between the different notification types in a way the FItbit can tell the difference.
