Recurring calendar events

Set custom events to repeat daily, weekly or monthly — and what to do when you need something more complex.

Custom calendar events support the same recurrence patterns as reminders:

Pattern

Step

Daily

24 hours

Weekly

7 days

Monthly

30 days (NOT calendar-month)

Heads up — Monthly recurrence advances by 30 days, not by calendar month. A "1st of the month" event will drift ~5 days earlier across a year.

End date

Set "Recur until" to cap a recurrence — useful for a temporary placement or a fixed-length programme.

Editing a recurring event

Three options when you open a recurring event:

  • This occurrence only — edits the single instance you opened. Future occurrences stay on the original schedule.

  • This and future occurrences — changes apply from this occurrence forwards.

  • Whole series — edits every instance, past included.

What's NOT supported

  • Day-of-week patterns ("every Tuesday and Thursday").

  • Day-of-month patterns ("last Friday of the month").

  • Custom intervals ("every 3 days").

Note — If you need a complex pattern, create the events individually rather than fighting the recurrence. A workflow that creates a calendar event on a schedule may help — see the Workflows category.
