Add details to Email event reminders
Please add the actual name of the event and its details to the email notification.
I was excited to have the email notification option added, which was the last thing keeping me from switching completely from Google. However, the email notifications themselves are disappointing, as they don't even say what the event is, so I have to open my calendar separately to see. I keep the notifications in my email as a reminder and delete them when I'm done, and I need to know what the actual reminder is for without having to open the calendar.

Work on this feature request is underway, starting with iOS.
🗓️ A new calendar invite widget shows the main event info in all emails that contain event invites. Tapping on it takes you to the #ProtonCalendar app directly from your inbox.

When I receive an email notification from a calendar event it is hard to remember what it was for since at times, I have multiple events on or near the time of other events. I would like a way to include certain metadata in the email notification of an event. The title, description, date/time (already there) and the recurrence summary.
This would eliminate the need to open the calendar to see what I am getting a reminder for.

I support this 100%. I typically use the email reminders as a way to keep track of tasks done or not done yet, and this cannot work out if the automatic reminder email does not include the title of the calendar event in the subject line. This is one of the features I miss most, and that is blocking me to move away from GCalendar + GMail at the present time.

I worry when Proton Community Team states that a request has been started because Proton User Voice is full of requests stated as "started" for almost a decade and still not done yet and also why only iOS first? 🤔

This improvement would:
Save time of opening and reading email body X 1000 events = approx 1 hour
Increase coherence of the reminder
Increase convenience which will promote greater use
Efficiency gain would elevate Calendar to time management functionality -

I would also like to see the time at a glance (besides the actual date). As Cody M already wrote an option in the settings to enable/disable would be enough. It's really cumbersome to click Replay in order to see the date including time when a mail was received.

One of the biggest miss of the Proton Calendar

The following options should be enabled by default, but user can disable (e.g, to save space of not wanting to show the information in the email)
- Include event name in the Email subject.
- Include all other calendar information in the Email body. -

I'm making the switch from GCal and this is essential.
At the least, ProtonMail users should get event title information in the notifications from their default ProtonCal calendars.

An option to enable/disable relative dates would be an improvement. I find them counterproductive.

Bonjour,
serait il possible, dans les alertes par mel, d'avoir le sujet de l'alerte, ça éviterait de devoir aller dans le calendrier, ça déchargerait le réseau et serait un gain de temps ;o) -

I would like to see the details of my calendar entries in the body of the reminder emails. This saves me the hassle of opening the calendar app to see what I’m being reminded of.

Yes, please add. I use email reminders a lot. This basic feature would save me a lot of time. I often have multiple email reminders show up. On the Android app, there are no details, so I have to log into the website, which is inconvenient.

Duplicate of https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932842-proton-calendar/suggestions/46129918-can-my-calendar-email-reminders-include-the-event ...probably better to remove this one and port over the votes to the other one.
Not sure if the Proton team really look at this votes and/or issues here, because there are plenty way too old.

Proton Calendar email notifications should contain more useful event details, it is a bit strange to get a notification that doesn't tell you much.

Don't leave us in the dark with email reminders of our events. I want to know what is coming up just by glancing at the email subject

Please don't show "days" (i.e. Wednesday, Thursday) in the email view. I need actual "dates". At least give the option to change the view to show only dates.

This is for me a big miss and would love to see this in the near future as well

Without the event title, the present email messages are highly unpleasant.https://laptopwise.com/best-microsoft-surface-laptops-to-buy/ Email reminders are meant to remind me, not to leave me in the dark.
