Is there a way to have event reminders be an email? Right now it just sends a reminder on the community but it’s easy to miss that notification if it’s not in your inbox [Screenshot 2026-06-09 at 4.23.27 PM]

I think that it does send an email notification, depending on the user’s email settings. But I haven’t tested that out, and you might well be right. It would certainly be helpful to push out a ‘full notification’ for these things as per the user’s settings. Also, I’m not sure what happens with no…

Thanks, I tested it, and it didn’t send an email. But now I’m thinking maybe I can comment on the event and anyone who has rsvp’d should get an email? I need to test it

Added it to the feature board, thanks! Link: Email reminder for events
