Registration cutoff prevents employees from registering for your event after a set date and time.

‍

This is a great feature to use if your event requires pre-work, ordering supplies, or booking logistics. You can finalize headcount and plan appropriately for your events.

‍

‍

Setting up registration cutoff

‍

1. Create or edit an event.
2. Go to the Guests step.
3. Select Yes for "Set registration cutoff time?"
4. Choose date and time.
5. Publish the event to save your changes.

‍

Guests who aren't registered yet

‍

If a guest tries to register on Slack, they will be blocked with a pop-up.

‍

‍

If a guest tries to register on Epoch, the RSVP options will not be available.

‍

‍

If a guest tries to register on calendar, there will be an additional line in the description on the calendar event explaining the cutoff time has passed. 

‍

If they click Yes, their RSVP will be reversed and they will receive a Slack message and email informing them that registration has closed.

‍

‍

‍

‍

‍

Guests who are already registered

‍

If a guest tries to change to Maybe or Not going on Slack, we'll warn them that they won't be able to join the event again.

‍

‍

If a guest tries to cancel on Epoch, we'll warn them that they won't be able to join the event again.

‍

‍

If a guest tries to change to Maybe or No on calendar, there will be an additional line in the description on the calendar event explaining the cutoff time has passed. 

‍

Since Epoch doesn't have control over showing a pop-up, their RSVP will be reversed and they will receive a Slack message and email informing them that registration has closed.

‍

‍

Note that guests who are already registered can still submit or edit their questionnaire.
