How to Show the Correct Session Date for Recurring Events in Emails

The issue

If you’re using recurring events, your emails might show the same date for everyone, even though people signed up for different sessions.

You’re likely using this:

{{ event.start_at }}

This always shows the main event date, not the specific session.

Use this instead:

{{ attendee.event_start_at }}

This shows the actual session date each attendee selected.

Your session starts on {{ event.start_at }}

Your session starts on {{ attendee.event_start_at | date: "%B %e, %Y" }}

You can use this in:

{{ attendee.event_start_at | date: "%B %e, %Y at %I:%M %p" }}

Use the attendee version for recurring events.
