Improved Events: More flexible RSVPs for recurring events

When RSVPing to a recurring event, members can now indicate whether they’re going to just the next occurrence or to all future occurrences. This makes it easier for event organizers to understand who is actually attending a particular event, and ensures attendees only receive reminders for the events they want to attend.

:microscope: What’s changed

On recurring events, the Going button now has a drop-down menu where members can choose to attend:

  • This event: They are marked as “going” for the next occurrence only. After that event, they’re removed from the attendee list and won’t receive reminders for future occurrences.
  • This event and all following events: They are marked as “going” for all future occurrences and will continue to receive reminders for them until they return and change their RSVP.

On desktop, if members only click the Going button and not the drop-down component, they’ll be marked as attending this event only.

On mobile, tapping Going opens a menu where members must choose how they are RSVPing.

can we notify groups about their upcoming events yet without having to create a group pm?
