admin email warning about no speaker

7 years 1 month ago
#72304
We had a meeting today that had many empty sign up slots still - even though the meeting was imminent.. I am an officer and received an email from 'Admin' telling me this fact. The email was helpful as it allowed us to rally round and resolve the situation. However- the email came out just 30 minutes before the published start time so we really didn't get much time to fix it.

Can you tell us the criteria for the email, as we don't remember receiving one before. was it because we had no Toastmaster signed up and a speaker slot empty?

Additionally - could we get the email 60 or 90 minutes before so we are not so utterly frantic. is this a setting we could change somewhere?

The system does not have such a function, Someone from your club sent the email.
Thank you,

Anyone can log in as the website admin and send an email... as the admin is more of a role than a person, emails will say "Admin" when they send an email. If the person had also logged in as a member, then their name would have been used. (but apparently they did not do that)

This occurs whether the person has logged in as the Admin and is sending the agenda email or via "Send Basic Email".

The system does not have any kind of "timed send" functionality--the email is sent when it is sent. You may want to determine who from your club logged in as the Admin and sent the email in question... perhaps you could have them send it at a different time.
