Hi,

Is it possible to make org-mode timestamps inactive? (I mean, the
calendar(Google calendar) and the org-agenda would ignore them)

I tried specifying that I should be notified 1h in advance for an
event like this :  <2015-03-24 Mon 07:30 -1h> but apparently this is
not the way to do it.
Is it currently possible to do this and if so, what is the correct
org-mode timestamp markup for this ?


Best regards,
Stefan

As written in the docs, inactive timestamps have `[' brackets instead of
`<'.

I am (as usual) confused: is the part above related to the part below?
As Seb says, <...> are active timestamps, [...] are inactive ones and
the agenda does not pay any attention to the latter. No idea what
happens with Google calendar, or any other for that matter.

What notification system are you using? The stuff in appt.el perhaps?
If so, see the docstring of org-agenda-to-appt, in particular the
APPT_WARNTIME property. But in general, the notification settings are
appt-related ones: afaik, you cannot use things like -1h in the
timestamp and have it carry over to the appt settings, although that
might be possible "with a small amount of coding".
