Assuming you are using a WebDAV/CalDAV calendar [otherwise I don't know
how multiple apps are inter-operating with it].

The ALARM function of VEVENT [CalDAV events] data is extremely fickle;
every app or server the event passes through may rewrite the data,
discarding what it does not understand.  Likely most applications drop
the in-program syntax [technically they shouldn't as the convention is
to try to preserve the VEVENT as-is from the client - but that is much
harder in practice than theory].

Yes.
