Is there a possibility to set reminders with absolute time?

[acidrums4]

Being fully aware that the Reminder object offers a parameter minutes_before_start, but is there any possibility to set a reminder with an absolute time (say, 1 day before at 7:00 a.m.), sort of like what the web client offers? Not sure if this can be actually done or if there's an upstream restriction to do so.

Hey @acidrums4,

Unfortunately, this format is not supported directly by google's API. The web client seems to convert this to minutes before requesting the API. So your screenshot example translates to:

PopupReminder(minutes_before_start=900)

Having said that, I believe it can be a nice feature of GCSA. I'll move it to issues to implement it in the next version.

Thanks for the submission!

Hi @acidrums4 once again :)

I've added an option to set absolute time in this commit. (Will release soon).

If you are interested, check the docs for it here. Feel free to share your thoughts :)
