Timing of email reminders

• For more information on how to subscribe to email reminders, see here.
• For more information on how to unsubscribe from email reminders, see: Unsubscribe from weekly and daily email reminders.

For each of the lists that you have subscribed to, you should receive two reminders:

Weekly: Firstly, early on the Sunday before the talk, an email entitled "[Talks.cam] This week's talks: (list name)" will tell you about all of the coming week's talks.

Daily: Secondly, early in the morning on the day that the talk is scheduled to occur, an email entitled "[Talks.cam] Today's talks: (list name)" will tell you about all of that day's talks.

Obviously if you subscribe to a list "too late" then you won't get the relevant reminder, e.g. if you subscribe on a Monday, you won't get a "This week's talks" reminder about the current week's talks (although you will still get early-morning daily reminders on the relevant days), the next scheduled weekly reminder will be the following Sunday which will tell you about the following week's talks.

Can I customise the reminder interval?

At the moment, sadly not. See further below for alternatives.

In future we may look into making the timing/frequency of these email reminders customisable; for now, if you choose to subscribe then the timings are fixed as described above.

Are there any alternative ways to get reminders?

Instead of subscribing to Talks.cam email reminders, you may wish to subscribe by electronic calendar (e.g. via Google Calendar, Outlook etc), or RSS.

Furthermore, depending on what software or website you use to subscribe to electronic calendars or RSS, you may be able to configure that software to generate its own email reminders at an interval that suits you better.
