Online calendar email reminder

#1

Post by chapmanbruce »

I am an assistant stake clerk for technology with responsibility for the online calendar. I have input meetings and events over the past two years. I have always marked most events to have an email reminder sent out about three to five days before the event. It has always worked. However, over the past approx. four months or so, we are not receiving email reminders for any event even though it is set up correctly to receive the email reminder. What could be wrong? Is this a church-wide problem, or just our area, stake, etc.? Please advise what we can do to correct the problem.
Thank you.

I think you are fortunate that it used to work. It has never worked for us.

Send now messages usually (but not always) go through, but we have never had success with send later messages tied to calendar events.

This issue is discussed in the LDS.org calendar not sending email updates thread.

We are having the same issue and I looked at the string, "This issue is discussed in the LDS.org calendar not sending email updates thread", but that does not list any solutions as far as I could see. What can be done to have reminders go out?

Until the developers figure out the problem and fix the code, there really isn't much any of us here can do.

As a very poor workaround, if it is felt critical to send out an email reminder a few days before an important event, we will make a minor edit to the event and select the Send email now option. That usually (but not always) works.
