Announcing the Event in the School Feed When Publishing the Event
When you Publish an event, the system creates an event announcement post to the School Feed unless you choose to turn off the toggle. In the same user interface, you can also schedule one reminder to go out.
Scheduling a Reminder After Event Was Published
You can also schedule an even reminder. To do this, Go to Event Details > Edit Event. Select the date and time for the event reminder. Click Save.
Announcing/Reminding of an Event
You can also send an immediate event reminder without having to schedule it. There are no caps on how many times you can send a reminder. Here are the steps:
On the event detail page, click the three-dot menu.
Select Announce event.
Type in the custom message if you'd like. Click Submit. An event announcement post is made.
How are Users Notified?
Users are notified about event reminders via email and app push notifications based on their notification preferences. Most parents have their email notifications set to 'immediately,' which is the default value. For email delivery, click the three-dot menu in the feed post and select Delivery Report.
If you want to notify users by text and/or voice message about the event, please make a separate post to the School Feed, and select the post type as Priority.
