Additional notification option per contact

Open bagarwa opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Right now, notification settings are global and apply to all contact birthdays. But not all contacts are equally important. For most contacts, a reminder on the day of birthday is enough. For few other close friends, I'd like to get an additional notification 1 day before. For family members, I'd like to get another additional notification 1 week before.

Thus, instead of being a global setting, it'd be very useful if you can make "additional notification" a per contact setting.

It may be useful for sure, but it's quite hard to implement. I'll try to add this feature, but probably not in the next update. Thanks for the advice!

I would appreciate a similar functionality, which might satisfy @bagarwa. Currently you have a favourite option, and the ability to only notify for favourites. Instead, I would like to always notify on the day, and additionally notify favourites a week before. I propose the "Favourites only" switch be changed into another "Additional favourites notification" selection. I believe this usage sould be common.

Well that's a good idea for sure, and it's easier to implement for me. I'll see what i can do in future updates!

Hi. Just following up to see if this is still in the plans. Happy Holidays! (Also, accidentally clicked "Close".)

Yep, it's still in the todo list, and i'll probably add what @shkiss suggested!

Done in 432853dd7afef58a442a450ae90fc64db221f3b0. Now there are 4 combinations:

  • standard and additional notifications for each event
  • standard and additional notifications for favorites only
  • additional notifications for favorites, standard notification for each event
  • additional notifications for each event, standard notification for favorites
