Change reminder time of all automatically generated birthday events in the Birthdays calendar
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.
- KirilNov 10, 2021Iron ContributorThank you for the link, but none of the information provided there is relevant for this issue. I know how to "edit" if that means adding new entries to it: create a contact with a birthdate and then the birthdate appears on the birthday calendar.
I need to somehow modify the entries in the calendar which are read-only.
I tried your suggestion and created a cloud flow, however the calendar is read-only (Error: Your request can't be completed. Read-only calendars can't be modified)- Victor_IvanidzeNov 10, 2021Bronze Contributor
Sorry I don't catch you point. When you select a birthday event and then click Edit, can you change it? If not, try to log in as admin.
Upadte: just another useful link (I hope)

Victor_Ivanidze When I open a birthday event in the special Birthday calendar generated by Outlook/Exchange (not my personal calendar), then all the entries are read-only:
EDIT: Interesting, when I try it online I can edit the Birthday calendar. But when I do it in the desktop Outlook client then it doesn't work. However, I am still stuck in doing it manually for all birthday events.
