How To Set Pop-Up Event Reminder In Google Calendar To Prompt Users

Google Mail or Gmail allows users to add their Google Calendar gadget into their Gmail account. After a simple activation process, users will notice a mini calendar added into the left column of the main Gmail screen. As and when there are events scheduled in Google Calendar or the mini calendar, by default, users will receive a daily email to notify them of the events. Besides, the events scheduled will also be displayed under the mini calendar. Despite this notification format, some users might still be forgetful of the upcoming events or overlook them. If that is the case, users probably can look at the new pop-up reminder feature which has been recently added to Google Calendar to facilitate them.
