Setting and updating alarms based on data items

A method for creating alarms, the method comprising:

• receiving a request for an alarm from a first user by a cloud computing environment;
• generating one or more rules associated with the alarm from the request by the cloud computing environment, wherein each rule is associated with a data item of one or more data items, and at least one data item of the one or more data items is associated with a second user;
• retrieving the one or more data items by the cloud computing environment;
• based on the retrieved one or more data items and the one or more rules, generating a first time associated with the alarm by the cloud computing environment;
• adding the alarm to a calendar associated with the first user at the associated first time by the cloud computing environment;
• receiving a change to the at least one data item by the cloud computing environment;
• based on the change to the at least one data item and the rule associated with the at least one data item, generating a second time associated with the alarm by the cloud computing environment;
• and
• updating the received alarm in the calendar associated with the first user to the generated second time by the cloud computing environment.

A method for creating an alarm, the method comprising:

• receiving a request for an alarm from a first user by a computing device, wherein the alarm is associated with an action and a time;
• generating one or more rules associated with the alarm from the request by the computing device, wherein each rule of the one or more rules is associated with a data item;
• retrieving the data items associated with the one or more rules by the computing device;
• based on the retrieved data items, establishing that each rule of the plurality of rules has been satisfied;
• and
• in response to establishing that each rule of the plurality of rules has been satisfied, setting the alarm to perform the associated action at the associated time.
