When planning a new event under the members tab to invite can it please show our custom mailing lists as it shows Everyone
Adults
Parents
Scouts
We would like it to have our custom list
allmembers.
Please help me add this.
The request to have Custom lists added to the Event Planner has been made many times, when having the “Use dynamic meeting invitations. Without this, new members will not automatically be invited to existing events” enabled. If you really want that option you can disable that setting and you will see all of your custom lists again when creating events. However then the new users are not automatically invited to previous events.
I want the ability to choose which email list I want to send it to.
Thank You

Agreed! The idea of having to toggle a global setting for this seems… off.
Half of the power of custom mailing lists is lost you can’t use them for the events.
For example, I have a custom mailing list for Order of the Arrow members.
We would like to create an event for these members, as a way to organize transportation to OA events. One hack I’ve considered is to create a fake entry in my household that is really a google group as the email address, and only select that member for this. Or just abandon using the custom list. Design tip: if someone is contriving such a painful workaround, either the functionality isn’t clear, or the user missed something in the documentation, or there’s a functionality gap begging to be filled.
The same goes for wanting a custom list for all Life scouts, so it’s efficient to schedule a Life to Eagle workshop.
Help me out - this is a pain point. FWIW, this was one (maybe the only one) thing that SOAR did alright with. You could create group-specific events.

These would both be better if there was a magic list for each rank, and a magic list for OA…
