What are update notifications?

‍

Update notifications are messages that are sent to guests when you edit an upcoming published event that already has guests.

‍

You can choose to send a Slack message or default email from Google Calendar. Note that turning off notifications isn't currently available for Outlook Calendar.

When are update notifications triggered?

‍

You can choose to send update notifications when you edit the following fields for a published event:

‍

• Title
• Description
• Start date or time
• End date or time
• Location

‍

How do I send update notifications? 

‍

1. Edit the title, description, date, time, or location for an upcoming published event.
2. Publish the event.
3. Check or uncheck the email and Slack notification options.
4. Choose if you want to change RSVPs to pending. Turning this on will change everyone's status to pending, which can be helpful if you need to make sure guests can make the new time or location. Turning this off will keep all RSVPs as is.
5. Click Publish to send any selected notifications immediately.

‍

Note: If you choose to change RSVPs to pending, "going" guests will have their questionnaire responses automatically restored when they register for the event again. Guests can still edit their responses on Slack or the Epoch event page.
