# How LFG Alarm adds to Luma Comparisons · https://lfg.gm/lfg-alarm-with-luma · Updated 2026-10-16 Luma handles event pages, registration and check-in, and sends guests reminders a day and an hour before. LFG Alarm adds a real alarm at the moment you choose: paste your Luma link into LFG Alarm, share one alarm link with your attendees, and everyone who joins is rung before doors, with a button to the event. LFG Alarm is not affiliated with Luma; this is how the two work together. ## What Luma already does As of October 2026, Luma's help pages say: - Guests get reminders 1 day and 1 hour before the event, by email, SMS and push, depending on their settings. - The 1-day reminder is skipped for events made less than a day ahead. - Guests who are pending approval or on the waitlist do not get reminders. - Hosts cannot edit the reminders, but can turn them off. ## What LFG Alarm adds - **A moment you choose.** Two hours before for an in-person event, so people leave in time; at the start for an online one, so everyone joins at once. - **An alarm, not another notification.** An event alarm is a real alarm on both phones: on iPhone it rings through silent mode and Focus, and on Android it takes over the screen even when the phone is locked. - **A real headcount.** The number of people riding the alarm is the number who mean it. - **A note for attendees:** the creator's note says which entrance, what to bring, where the speakers are, and the call-to-action link opens the event page or a map when people answer. - **For your crew:** with Luma webhooks (a Luma Plus feature), an event update or cancellation can be sent, through Zapier, to an LFG Alarm [anything alarm](https://lfg.gm/webhook-alarm) that rings your team. On Android it rings full screen, even on Do Not Disturb; on iPhone it arrives as a time-sensitive alert with the alarm's own sound, so keep the ringer on. ## Three events on Luma **The free founders' breakfast.** Nina runs a 60-person breakfast at 8:00 on a Tuesday. Luma reminds guests the day before and an hour before, at 7:00, which is when half of them are still asleep. She makes an LFG Alarm event alarm from her Luma link that rings 2 hr before, at 6:00, so it doubles as the wake-up. The creator's note says "coffee from 7:45, ground floor, bring a laptop". The number riding the alarm is how many pastries she orders. **The evening talk with a tricky entrance.** Every month people walk round the building twice looking for the door. Ade sets the alarm for 1 hr before and names the problem in the note: "side entrance on Elm Street, not the main doors". The call-to-action link opens a map pin. **The online workshop.** For a webinar at 18:00 UTC with guests in eight countries, the alarm rings At start, in each person's own time zone at the same moment, and the call-to-action link opens the stream. ## How to use them together 1. Publish your event on Luma. 2. In LFG Alarm, tap **Got a link?** and paste the Luma link. Rocco reads the name, the picture and the start time. 3. Under **Goes off**, pick **At start**, **30 min**, **1 hr** or **2 hr** (one hour is the default), choose who it is for (public for an open event page), and tap **Create alarm**. See [Event alarms](https://lfg.gm/wiki/event-alarms). 4. Add the alarm link, `lfg.gm/a/`, to the event description and your last blast. Your AI agent can also make it: give it the Luma link and say how long before to ring. ## Common mistakes - **Ringing at the same time as Luma's own one-hour reminder.** Pick 2 hr, 30 min or At start so the two do not land together. - **Making it public on a private event.** Use a friends alarm with "I approve each one" if only approved guests should ride. See [Sharing and reach](https://lfg.gm/wiki/sharing-and-reach). - **Choosing the song after people join.** Once a second person rides the alarm, its sound and picture are sealed. ## Questions ### Does LFG Alarm replace Luma?
