Can Alexa remind me about appointments from multiple calendars

Syncing Multiple Calendars with Alexa

To use Alexa with multiple calendars, you first need to sync each calendar with Alexa. You can do this by following these steps:

1. Open the Alexa app on your mobile device.
2. Tap the menu button (three horizontal lines in the top left corner).
3. Go to Settings.
4. Scroll down and select Calendar & Email.
5. Choose the type of calendar account you want to connect (e.g., Google, Apple, Microsoft).
6. Select the specific calendar you want to sync and follow the prompts to connect it[3][10].

Managing Reminders from Multiple Calendars

Once your calendars are synced, Alexa can read out events from them. However, Alexa will only automatically announce reminders if they are set within the calendar itself. For example, if you have a Google Calendar event with reminders set, Alexa will announce those reminders if your Google Calendar is linked to Alexa[1][9].

To manage reminders from multiple calendars, you can use voice commands like "Alexa, what's on my calendar?" or "Alexa, what's on my calendar today?" to get an overview of upcoming events across all linked calendars[3][5].

Customizing Reminders

If you find that Alexa is repeating reminders, you can adjust the announcement count in the Reminders settings menu within the Alexa app. By default, Alexa announces reminders twice, but you can change this to a single announcement[1][4].

Using Third-Party Integrations

For more advanced automation, such as setting custom reminders or integrating with other smart devices, you can use services like IFTTT (If This Then That) or Zapier. These platforms allow you to create custom triggers and actions based on your calendar events, such as turning on lights before a meeting[1][7].

In summary, while Alexa can manage reminders from multiple calendars, it relies on the reminders being set within those calendars. For more customized reminders or integrations, using third-party services can enhance Alexa's functionality.
