Send a reminder for an event or sign-up

Modified on: Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 3:41 PM

A day before the deadline, give everyone who hasn't responded yet a nudge — Send Reminder pings only the families still missing from your RSVP or sign-up list, not everyone who already answered.

Before you start

You need to be the event's owner or a class admin. This works on any event with RSVP or sign-ups turned on — a general event, Volunteer Help, or Conferences/Office Hours.

Step 1 — Open the event

Open the event from the class calendar or feed.

Step 2 — Find Send Reminder

Select Options on the event, then choose Send Reminder.

Step 3 — Confirm

A dialog asks "Remind all recipients who have not accepted this event yet?" Select Send Reminder to confirm, or Cancel to back out.

Step 4 — Done

A brief confirmation appears — "Reminder mails are sent for all the recipients who haven't accepted the event yet." Each of those families gets a notification pointing them back to the event; families who already responded are left alone.

Watch out: Send Reminder always goes to everyone still outstanding on the event — there's no way to target just one family from here. If you only need to nudge one person, message them directly instead.
