Auto email blast for calendar events
I would love it if the calendar had an option to send out automatic email blasts about our event a certain number of days prior. That is the only feature that is keeping me using my yahoo group site. For example, next Saturday we have an event, as I enter the information, I can choose to have an auto email blast about the event go out to my members 7 days before the event.

I'd love to see members be able to RSVP to events. I think that automatic emails/reminders should only go out to members who have RSVPed (much like facebook). Otherwise it might become an annoyance to some members.

Also, if the members could respond to the e-vite with an RSVP, this would be great! This is also the only reason I am still using my MeetUp account so I can keep track of who is coming to the event. Hope this can come soon!

Great Idea Debbie. We have flirted with this idea for it is very similiar to an evite.

Carol McNelly January 23, 2012 01:48Well, this has been under consideration or at least a topic for almost a year. Is it actually on the implementation schedule? Or is it on the back burner due to priority?EditDeleteRemove

This tool would be so helpful for me to send out to those web-challenged/stubborn members.
Please, please, please add this!
Thanks Bunches! -

The president of our riding group has expressed great interest in this idea to inform our membership of a riding event a week in advance. Also, this can be accomplished locally, by using an Email client such as Microsoft Outlook to send out Emails to the membership at certain intervals. Of course, you would have to keep your Email client active (open) at all times. Yes, Mr Webs.com, please implement this great tool!!!

I would LOVE to see this as well. Our site is a hub for our homeschooling group. This would be a GREAT way to remind members of our up coming events, classes, field trips etc. This also would save me time, seeing right now I have been manually sending out these reminders! I would love it if the site did it for me.

but it takes time from our busy lives to email them. Many times I forget or just don't have the time, therefore, the reminders are very helpful.
I've considered leaving webs because it doesn't have this feature. -

Webs,
You must implement this. It is very hard to go each time for a event and to send email blast for those calender events.. So that must be automated. By the way it helps many event themed websites and also other websites. -

This would be invaluable, we are currently trying to use the blog page to notify members of events and get them to RSVP via Comments. However when the feature that notified members when someone posted to the blog was removed this became difficult, as I had to go to the Members section and manually send an email blast anyway. So a blast based on calendar events would be fantastic.

Yes, this is the only reason why I used this site for our website. We want to do away with our yahoo calendar and evite account. We currently have to add events to 3 different areas and I was hoping to combine all using webs.com.
Please implement the calendar notifications and allow an RSVP.
Thank you. -

But really hope you could readjust the "remove from mailing list" if not auto email sending will just give others more thoughts of removing from mailing list and that's removing membership from the forum itself!

I would just like the e-mail blast...as sorta of reminders...just like in yahoo groups.

I'd like to know if this is actually going to happen or not? Is it in process, or is it on the back shelf while other things take priority?

I too would like to know. I am ready to start adding users but have a real problem that I cant get a weekly email automated to tell users what is on the calendar. We use shutterfly now but cant advertise our home page and keep details private to the group only which is why we love the idea of moving to webs.com but I really need to automate the calendar event emailings.
