Sending notifications with Azure Virtual Desktop Auto-Shutdown
may be you can check for some PowerShell script that can be added task scheduler which will run in specific time to intimate users before the shutdown
You might consider using an Azure Virtual Desktop scaling plan to shut down AVD, as it provides notifications when AVD is being shut down and allows you to set a time range, such as 30 minutes.

ChiChong@KartikDogra, I will give that a try. I had it configured, but I needed to tweak a couple of parameters.
I set up a scaling plan for an AVD personal host pool. It shuts the VMs down as expected, but it is not sending notification. I don't see any place in the scaling plan set up to notify the user. Am I missing a setting somewhere else?
Thanks.
yes, it won't send notification as scaling plan is design not to force shutdown if the session is active and also not advisable as it might add to bad user experience. instead, you should be having polices and settings to shut down when user session is not active or is in disconnected state for stipulated period.
Other than the Virtual Machine Auto shutdown setting, is there a policy or setting that would shut down and notify the logged-on users (for a shared virtual desktop) that a shutdown is imminent?
Thanks.
