How to disable calendar alerts for shared calendars

Re raising as this one is closed: Calendar shows alerts for Calendar that i… - Apple Community


I'm on a MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.1. I have multiple shared colleague calendars on the Calendar app which are loaded via my Google account. I don't want constant notifications from all of them.


The setting in "Calendar > Settings > Alerts > Show shared calendar messages in Notification Center" does not seem to control this. I'm still getting notifications for calendars which are not mine.

This solution does not help. My daughter and I subscribe to each other's calendars. Every time she makes a change I get a notice in my Calendar Inbox, and when I make a change she gets a notice in her Calendar Inbox. We are both set up for View Only, and are able to turn off the inbox notifications on our mobile devices but not on our Macs. We have to go in and clear the darn things. This just started recently - we re-shared the calendars with each other. Before we re-shared we were able to turn off the "invites".


We WANT notifications from our OWN calendars - this solution turns those off. We want to turn off "invitations" from shared calendars.

Hi jmhobrien,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that you'd like to disable notifications for your shared calendars.


When you're in your Calendar app and go to Calendar > Settings > Alerts, are you able to choose your Google account and set the alerts to None?


You can also adjust your Notification settings for Calendar as outlined here: Change Notifications settings on Mac - Apple Support

"On your Mac, use Notifications settings to specify when you don’t want to be disturbed by notifications, and to control how notifications are shown in Notification Center.

To change these settings, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Notifications   in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)"


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
