How to add email Reminder Action to Lightning event?

Thunderbird
#1

In Thunderbird Lightning, when creating or editing a calendar event, how do we add an email alert? My Lightning offers only Display alert / Afficher une alerte. I need a Reminder Action able to Send an Email Message.

Below is the same question as above. But with details if you’re interested in those.

By “email alert” I mean, for example, 1 hour before an event, an email message reminder is automatically sent to a set email address.

What I tried that did not work:

  • Clicked on the Choose a Reminder Action/Choisir une action de rappel drop down menu. Only one option is available. It reads Display alert / Afficher une alerte.
  • Double-checked that the calendar is a Network Calendar (CalDAV)
  • Double-checked that the calendar Properties as an email address associated to it
  • Searched for add-on about email alert at https://addons.thunderbird.net/fr/thunderbird/extensions/ I found none able to do email alert.

Synonyms of calendar email alert:

  • alarm mailing
  • reminder action
  • send email reminder
  • thunderbird notification by email message

Did you try adding yourself in the attendees? I click the attendees tab then add yourself again, you will now be an attendee as being invited then you will get alerts by email. That’s the only way I figured our how to do it. Sorry for the way late reply.

Thanks for your reply @Earthealthy_GIS :slight_smile: Appreciated. Yes. This is one of the first thing I tried. But it failed. Because adding myself in the Attendees only send email notifications after a new Event is created or on Event change(s). This is useful. But this is not what I need.

What I need is this, when creating or editing a Lightning Calendar Event, to somehow being able to automatically send email reminder(s) before an event starts. For example, but not limited to, 1 hour before.

Maybe my question and the steps above were not clear. To clarify my question, I created this new question and new screenshots at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1420544
