When creating a news update, you can also link an event from your planning. It creates an option for team member to let you know whether they will attend or not.
⚠️ Note: You can only link an event to a news update on the computer, not in the app. You can, however, check the attendance of your team members in the app.
There are multiple ways to link an event to your news update:
Create a new event in the planning, and choose 'Share in post' when saving. More information.
Link an event
Navigate to 'Communication', then 'Newsfeed'.
At the top, just below the text box, choose 'Event'.
In the new window that opens you can select an existing event from your planning, or choose to create a new one.
You are now in the window 'Create post' with the event already selected. Write the message for your news update
Now, choose for which teams this post is intended.
Click 'Save', then 'Post now' to share your post directly.
You can also choose to save it as a draft ('Save for later'), or click 'Schedule' to pick a date and time for the event to be posted automatically later on.
Event attendance
Once the news update is posted, team members can confirm their attendance. They can only do this in the app, in their newsfeed ('News', bottom left in the app).
You can check the attendance status in the web version, by opening the event in your planning, or in the newsfeed.
