Admins can follow these steps to set up event reminders in Lightning Experience. Remember that the New Event global action doesn’t support event reminders, even though you can add them to the global action layout.

  1. Confirm that activity reminders are enabled.
    This setting lets reps see event reminders pop up on the top corners of their browsers.
  2. Confirm that in-app notifications are enabled. From Setup, enter Salesforce Notifications in the Quick Find box, then select Salesforce Notifications. Select Enable in-app notifications.
    This setting lets reps see event reminders in the global navigation notification list.
  3. Add the Reminder Set field to Event page layouts.
