I’ve got a couple of little Google Calendar tools I plan to release in the future, so I went ahead and packaged up the code to add alarms to Google Calendars and created a project page to host it.
Google Calendar Alarm-It is a pass-through script that adds alarms to scheduled events in the Google Calendar you specify. Basically, you put this script on your server:
http://example.com/alarm-it.php
add the Google Calendar you want to add alarms to:
http://example.com/alarm-it.php?cal=your-google-calendar-ical-url
then subscribe to that URL. It’s definitely a one-trick pony at this point, but it does its trick pretty well in my testing.
You can download Google Calendar Alarm-It script from my Calendar Tools page.
This post is part of the project: Calendar Tools. View the project timeline for more context on this post.
