When sending out a newsletter, I have “show events for the next 30 days” selected and “include events participant is not invited to” unselected. However, nothing is showing up in the preview or in the newsletter emails. I’ve gone back through the events for the next month and “everyone” is selected for all the events. This is the same for single events and troop meeting events.
There is probably something I’m missing that is different than last year, but I’m not sure what is could be.
I did go back and play with it a little…the event will show up if I RSVP for it.
It used to show all events, even if a member hadn’t RSVPd…which is great when you would like them to RSVP from the newsletter. We use the newsletter instead of the invitation to cut down on emails. Is there a way around this?
Did you ever get an answer to this question? I’m having a similar problem - weekly meetings (even within the next 7 days) don’t show in the newsletter, nor do any other events within the next 30 days.
I changed the troop track setting to show all events instead of only show events someone is invited to. I think that fixed it. It seems they have it set to showing only events someone has RSVP to…butt they can’t RSVP if they don’t see it.
So, just to be clear, the Newsletter will NOT show events they are invited to, but haven’t RSVP? Will ALL events show up when I enable that feature (even for ones they are not invited too)? This seems wrong!!!
As of November 2022, as our Troop is preparing to start using the newsletter feature, I am seeing this very same problem. AN event does not show up unless I have already RSVP’d to it. That’s not very helpful to get it out in front of folks - the newsletter is how many will know the event exists, and then RSVP.
I’ve confirmed this issue as well. Events only show up in newsletter if you have RSVP’ed for it (unless “show events recipient is not invited to” is checked). I agree with the others. All events associated to the member should show regardless of RSVP status. Since this is a personal newsletter, ideally it should show the household RSVP status for the event so the member can see if action is needed.
One suggestion for the developers to easily fix this and make the newsletter events feature super helpful again. In newsletter settings “show events for next 7 (or 30) days” checkbox shows events that the recipient has RSVP’ed for. That’s fine. The ask is “include events that recipient is not invited to” checkbox should be replaced with “include events that the recipient has not RESPONDED to”. This would bring in events (within 30 days) that they are invited to but haven’t responded to. This is WAY more useful as these are the events we want to provide visibility to - for them to review and take action.
