Meeting reminders

One useful application of Asterisk Calendaring is the ability to execute dialplan logic based on an event notification. Most calendaring technologies allow a user to set an alarm for an event. If these alarms are set on a calendar that Asterisk is monitoring and the calendar is set up for event notification via calendar.conf, then Asterisk will execute notify the specified channel at the time of the alarm. If an overrided notification time is set with the autoreminder setting, then the notification would happen at that time instead.

The following example demonstrates the set up for a simple event notification that plays back a generic message followed by the time of the upcoming meeting. calendar.conf.
