Respect Alert Setting from Microsoft Outlook Invitations and Allow Default Alert for Received Invitations

Respect Alert Setting from Microsoft Outlook Invitations and Allow Default Alert for Received Invitations

When I send invitations from Microsoft Outlook to my Zoho Calendar account, the Zoho Calendar does not respect or detect the alert setting in the invitation. For example, in Outlook, if I set the alert to 30 minutes before the event and send it to Zoho Calendar, Zoho does not give the event an alert when I accept it. This causes me to not be alerted of the event or causes me to have to remember to manually set an alert.

It would be great (if possible) if Zoho Calendar can detect the event alert setting set my Outlook in the invitation. Or, if a default alert setting for incoming invitations would be configurable, that would help too. Another idea would be allowing us to set the alert ourselves in Zoho Mail when the invitation arrives and we click "Yes" to accept the invitation.

Otherwise, it's easy to miss alerts for events. Since many of us are managing and viewing our calendar on mobile devices, the alert is essential to remind of us of events.
