This plugin will automatically send email reminders for Moodle calendar events in a timely manner.
Reminders are very useful for both students as well as teachers to recall their scheduled events and activities before the actual moment.
Latest Feature (with plugin v2.5)
- The plugin provides a way to customize the email header/footer with desired HTML content! This means now you can add your site branding to those email reminders too. (See updated screenshots)
New Features: (in v2+ which works in Moodle 3.5 or above)
- Ability to send reminders after event completed for overdue students
- Ability to enable/disable and schedule reminders per activity
- Explicitly reminder enables: By default no reminders will be sent unless teachers enable them in course level.
- Reminder email messages when calendar event created/changed/removed
- Prevent sending more email reminders once a student has completed the activity
- Added timezone/location to the email due dates
- Support for course category events
- Ability to customize email header/footer with the branding of the site
- Additional cron task to clean old reminder data
- Send reminders only to students who can submit the assignment
- Supports site, course, activity, user, and group calendar events
- Ability to customize the reminder schedule globally
- Ability to customize enable/disable reminders per course
- Ability to select reminders eligible user roles per calendar event type
Prerequisite for plugin v1.5.1 or prior:
- Your moodle site must enable logging to make the plugin work properly.
- The Cron job should be enabled
- Cron job should not be lagged to send reminders for custom schedules which has tight schedules.

This has been fixed in v2.2.1. Please update.
I have received students feedback that they have received email reminder of events that are not belong to their own group. And it is strange that not all students received the reminder, some did, some didn't. Is this an existing issue or maybe somewhere in the setting I need to tick to enable group-wise reminder? many thanks.
Could you please tell me what kind of event/activity type you are seeing this behaviour and with any reproducible steps. Because group level reminders are working for course activities in my test environment. Maybe I have missed something which you could find out. And I need to know how did you set up the activity (steps) so that I can respond to your request.
Thanks
Thanks for your reply. It's the assignment activity that has this behaviour. Students received due date reminder that are supposed to be sent to another group. The assignment is set up using "seperate group" mode, and different group have "group override" for different due date. I don't think I had any setting on the reminder, it should all be default setting, I just chose the reminder day to 7 and 1 day before the due day. Thanks.
How does your plugin fit in to the Moodle settings to block students' ability to turn off notifications? Does it inherit whatever settings are selected for the vanilla notifications?
Have you any plans to fix that issue before next september?
Thanks.
An excellent plugin but it sends out the event reminder notifications to the inactive(enrolment suspended and enrolment period finished) students.
The group override dates are also sent to all the students regardless of the group selected.
If the group events could be sent to the students within that group, it would be greatly appreciated. And the support for suspended/not current enrolment would also be great.
Thank you!
when installing i got :
[Warning] Declared maturity level [MATURITY_RC]
is it safe to install
Thanks
As the developer of this plugin, I will say yes. And many people are using this it seems too if you look at the stats above in this page
We are using Moodle Moodle 3.8.4+ (Build: 20200827) and the latest version of Event Reminders.

Is there any way we can avoid this, e.g. by customizing the fields that appear in the email notification? Or could you work on compatibility with the multi-lang filter plugin for future releases?
Thanks in advance!
