To setup auto reminders go to the 'Reminders' menu, and choose the region you want reminders for.
The program will run daily at the same hour you initially set it up, and alert you to any closures starting, or ending in 7 days time based on your preferences.
For closures less than a week long, there will only be 1 alert for the closing date, there will not be an alert for the opening date.
The are three options for which closures to be alerted to:
1) ALL closures in the sheet which are in the timeframe.
2) Any closures you have added, or are FOLLOWING which are in the timeframe.
3) Only closures you have ADDED which are in the timeframe.
You can follow closures by adding your username to the 'FOLLOWING' column of any closure, if there are multiple editors separate the names with commas (,).

In the sub menu for that region click on 'Subscribe to Auto Reminders'.
Once you do this, you will be prompted to give the script permission to run. The script needs to see your email address to associate your account to your username, and use your email to send you the reminders. (The reminder emails will be sent to you from your own email account)
It is therefore important to ensure that you are logged into the sheet with the account you want the reminder emails to be sent from/to.
You will then be asked a series of questions to determine your alert preference, once you click 'YES' that becomes your choice, and you won't be asked about the other options.
Finally you will be offered the opportunity to have the reminders added to one of your Google Calendars as an event with a popup reminder (this is useful if you want to receive push notifications on your devices).
If you do not want to use this feature simply press 'CANCEL', and the program will proceed.
To use the calendar feature you must enter the exact name of the calendar you want the alerts to be placed in.
You must own this calendar.
Calendar events will be set an hour after the program runs each day, to give the events a chance to sync to all your devices before the alert time.
The program will require permission to manage your calendars for this to work.
If you enter a name which does not match one of the calendars you own, a list of all your owned calendars will be displayed, and then the program will stop running.
You will need to copy the name of the calendar you want to use, and repeat the setup steps again.
You can also create a new calendar to use exclusively for Waze reminders, and use that one.

To stop the daily reminders, got to the 'Reminders' menu, then select the region sub menu, then click on 'Cancel All Auto Reminders'.
To change your preferences, add, or remove a calendar, or change the time the reminders are sent;
Follow the instructions to stop the reminders, then setup the reminders again the way you want them.
