Change reminder time of all automatically generated birthday events in the Birthdays calendar
When I create a contact in Outlook and add a birthday to that contact, a new event is created in the special Birthdays calendar. This is great and it works fine. The reminder for those birthdays however is set to 18 hours before the birthday, so every day at 12 o'clock I get reminders, that there is a birthday tomorrow. This is sometime confusing, because I want the reminder to be on the same day as the birthday. Is it possible to change this default 18 hours reminder?
- Can you just modify an event manually? If you have several thousands events, create a VBA script in Outlook or a PowerShell script.
- The Birthday calendar is read-only and the events there are generated from the birth dates of your contacts. You cannot edit them in Outlook. But even if I could, every time I create a new contact I must change its reminder.
Hi Kiril,
have a look at this: How to edit Birthday Calendar in Outlook 365
And yes, every time you create a new contact you have to change its reminder.
Theoretically, you can create a PowerAutomate flow that will do that silently in the background.
