DutyRemind is an easy-to-use Google Sheets add-on that allows you to block calendars of your employees or customers based on the duty roster or appointment charts you prepare. With minimal configuration and zero complex app setup, it manages events and triggers notifications directly from Google Sheets.
Specify custom date rows, header rows, header columns, and employee email columns. DutyRemind adapts to your spreadsheet's structure dynamically.
Set up custom shift IDs (like Forenoon "FN", Afternoon "AN") with default durations. Map spreadsheet cell values to exact calendar event durations.
Need custom shift hours for Friday afternoons or weekend rosters? Configure day-of-week overrides to dynamically modify slot timings.
Set custom event titles, descriptions, and multiple Google Calendar reminders (popups or emails) scheduled X minutes before the event begins.
Target team members' primary calendars or designate a specific calendar resource ID for team schedules or shared calendars.
Run sync processes directly from the sidebar. Inspect a scrollable, detailed execution log mapping additions, skips, and calendar updates.
Tailored scheduling automation for teams, freelancers, and businesses.
Juggling between multiple spreadsheets to find shifts? Team leaders get a birds-eye view of schedules in the roster, while team members get all tasks synchronized automatically into their primary calendar view.
Stop manually calculating timezone offsets for client meetings or shifts. Set schedules in your local timezone and let DutyRemind handle Google Calendar timezone conversions seamlessly.
Get a single central view of all customer appointments. Customers receive timely native notifications directly on their smartphones, drastically reducing forgotten appointments and improving retention.
DutyRemind works directly with pre-installed calendar applications (like Google Calendar or Apple Calendar) on smartphones. Team members and customers receive fully configurable event notifications and reminders automatically, without downloading any third-party apps.
This design offers low friction and addresses privacy concerns: no external servers scan scheduling data, and attendees only need to provide their email address. Everything is secured within your own Google Workspace account.
We do not host backend databases. Your shift grids, team email lists, and schedules remain stored solely in Google Sheets and Calendar.

DutyRemind is free to use for up to medium-sized teams, with nominal pricing for large teams compared to the massive time saving.
