Event announcements let facilitators and event managers post information on an event page and, if they choose, email participants. You can post to one event, or once on a collection page.
You need permission to view attendance for an event to post an announcement.
Jump to:
Post an announcement
Open the event and click Add Announcement.
Write your announcement.
Under Visibility, choose who sees it:
Public: anyone who views the event.
Private: only the event's facilitators and people registered for it. Use this for pre-work, room details, or anything else that's only for attendees.
To also email it, select Also send as email. Everyone registered for the event when you post it, plus the event's facilitators, gets an email.
Click Post.
A few things to know about announcement emails:
They go only to registrants, not to people on the waitlist.
Participants can't reply to the email to contact you.
Your announcement shows on the event page. If it's private, only registered attendees see it. To delete it, click the trash can icon.
Post to a whole collection
Post an announcement on a collection, and it shows at the top of the collection page. It doesn't appear on the individual events inside it. On a conference day with dozens of sessions, you post a room change once instead of on every event.
Open the collection.
Below the collection description, click Add announcement.
Write your announcement. To email it too, select the email option.
Click Post.
Collection announcements are always public. The most recent one shows at the top of the collection page, and View all announcements opens older ones. You can post on a collection if you have the Manage Collections permission, or on collections you created if you have Create Collections.
