1. A computer implemented method, comprising:

  • identifying, via one or more databases, an event task created by a user and an event type assigned to the event task in one or more of the databases, the event type being assigned to the event task and to a plurality of additional event tasks that are of the event type, wherein the event task includes a starting time of an event and an event location;

    identifying, via one or more databases, one or more other attendees of the event;

    providing, in response to creation of the event task by the user, a prompt to an additional computing device of one attendee of the other attendees, the prompt being to affirm providing, to the at least one attendee, notifications related to the event task;

    receiving, in response to providing the prompt, an affirmative indication that the one attendee desires to receive notifications related to the task, the affirmative indication received in response to interaction with the prompt via a user interface input device of the additional computing device;

    receiving user location information indicative of a user location of a user, the user location information being provided by a computing device of the user and being based on sensor data from one or more location sensors of the computing device;

    determining user arrival information, wherein the user arrival information is based on the user location information and the starting time;

    determining whether the user arrival information satisfies a threshold that is specific to the event type;

    in response to determining the user arrival information satisfies the threshold;

    determining a notification to provide to at least one attendee of the other attendees, wherein determining the notification is based on the user arrival information and the event type of the event task, wherein determining the notification based on the event type comprises incorporating, in the notification, text that is specific to the event type, andproviding, to the computing device of the user, an additional prompt related to providing the notification;

    determining to provide the notification based on interaction with the additional prompt by the user via the user interface input device of the computing device of the user and based on having received the affirmative indication; and

    in response to determining to provide the notification, providing the notification to the additional computing device or another computing device of the one attendee for display to the one attendee via the additional computing device or the another computing device.
