Multiple Calendar unwanted alerts by email for same event

Hi veda1,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re receiving email alerts for Calendar events. We’re happy to help.

You can disable this alert type by changing it to one of the other “custom” options. You can find steps for doing so under “Set an alert for an event” here: Set event alerts and receive notifications in Calendar on Mac - Apple Support

We hope that helps.

Take care.

seems a fix. so far so good for me.

sync your Apple calendar with your Goog calendar, if you haven't already.

Make all your cal entries in either cal app. Email and/or plain alerts, whatever you favor.

Email alerts can only be set from Apple cal. But you knew that.

If you've never sunc (giggle) the cals, they sync pretty quick, minutes at most. If you prefer, just refresh either, Cmd/R.

Cntrl click (right click) on a sync'd Calendar name from the upper left corner list in Apple Calendar.

Select "get Info". There is a check box in the window that says "ignore alerts". Check it.

I know, sounds insane.

Now just wait for nothing to happen.

Or test, as I did. Made new events 2 days from now on 2 ignored cals and 2 on unignored (ok, this may not be an actual word, but you get the idea) cals. The ignored sent me 1 email. The unignored (again) sent multiples.

If you're one of those people who wants nothing to do with big bad googoo, get over it.

Little difference between the corporate culture vultures.

You're welcome. Back to work you lazy dawg!

Using Big Sur. I experience the same results using email alerts. Emails are repeated when I sleep/wake the computer. Have not found a solution, but it appears as if when I close/dismiss the notification, or wait a day or longer the emails stop.

had this issue since High Sierra.

Let's remember though, Apple is not in the software business.

I doubt they spend much money with developers for Calendar.
