Newly Added Members Not Being Added To Events

[JustinWeaver]

I noticed a problem today. When I add new members to my unit, those new members are not automatically being added to meetings and trips that are scheduled from the date the member was added into all the future events. That means they are not on the invite list and therefore can not RSVP. The only way I can get them on the invite list is if I as the admin click into the edit event page and then resave the event (regardless if I update anything at all). When I come back out to the event page they are now showing as invited.

This has come up many times. Here is some info about this.
There are several things that will refresh who is invited to an event, from Spencer in May 2018:

FYI, This was fixed around 12 Feb 2018 . I didn’t realize it at the time, but the third item on the bullet list,

We update who is invited to events more quickly

also resolved this issue. Any time you view an event, it “refreshes” who is invited to the event. Here are some more things that will refresh who is invited to the event:

• Creating/Updating an event
• Viewing the event’s details page
• Sending event invites/reminders
• Sending the newsletter (All events in the newsletter will be “refreshed”.)

The last two are especially nifty because they happen automatically behind the scenes. So if you create your events in May, schedule them to send invitations 2 weeks ahead of time, and then enter a bunch of new members in August, they’ll all get the right invitations and newsletter content without you having to do a thing. They’ll then be able to RSVP directly from the invitation, and life will be peachy.

So it will not be immediate but if an event invite/reminder goes out the new people will get it, also if you use the Newsletter function that will refresh the events and add the new members. If a person asks you can also tell them to select the Globe Icon in the top of the Calendar Window to see all events and not filter by Invited Events, this doesn’t need to be a permanent thing, they can change it back later say after the Newsletter goes out and then they will be invited to all the future events.
