Announcements haven't been asked for before but it can be added if its something you need it.

 

Thank you.

Please. It would be very helpful. I have listed out our years activities so that people can plan for them and did not want to spam everyone when I posted them. The ability to announce them would be helpful.

Also, I'm in the northeast and occasionally the weather would require a cancellation. Being able to announce when I put cancel in the title (or having a cancel API) would also be very helpful.

I'll add this to our feature queue.

 

 

Thank you.

I couldn't find any tracking id for this.

You are in luck. This is part of a feature in current development, event drafting. Announcing will most likely be part of that roll out.

Ideally there would be a way to say "Don't announce" and "don't ask again".  We generally do NOT announce events because we are so large that events already fill up fast... "announcing them" (i.e. emailing them to everyone) ticks off the people who show up after the RSVPs fill up.
