Can Siri add an appointment with alerts? Like 5 minutes before or 2 hours before etc. If so, how should I speak it?

No, she can't do that (yet). I tried it several different ways, but cannot set an alert.

You can set your default alert time for calendar events under Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.

What I thought I'd do is if I want an 11 am appointment, with 2 hours notice, I set it up as a 9 am appointment but label the appointment as "11 am appointment " in the title. It's goes off at 9 (2 hours before) and the title tells me when it is really for (11 am). But of course then the day won't be listed chronologically correct but then I don't have that many appointments during the day anyways.
