Make Calendar Open a File Automatically
By far, one of the coolest Calendar tricks there are is that the app can automatically open a file for you right before an important event. This is perfect if you’re about to do a presentation or want to have some notes ready before the event.
Unfortunately for iPhone and iPad users, this trick only works on Mac. However, you can still add a file to your events on iPhone and iPad, but you’ll have to open it yourself, which is not as cool, but it’s still pretty convenient.
- Open the Calendar app on your Mac.
- Double click on any date to create a new event.
- Create the event you want.
- Enter the time for your event.
- Click the Alert drop-down menu.
- Click on Custom.
- Click on Message with Sound and select Open File.
- Click on Calendar and select Other.
- Go through your files and choose the file you want to open.
- Select when you want the Calendar app to open the file.
- When you’re done, click on Ok.
And that’s it. As you probably saw, you can also use this option to automatically send an email, which is a great way to remind other people you have a meeting.
