    Multiple emails AND confirm no?

    I have two questions.

    1. Is it possible for a member to have multiple email addresses associated with their account? I am looking into using this for a youth group and I am wondering if i could have parents on the list to receive emails as well as the students who would be registered.

    2. Also, is it possible for a member to confirm that they are not attending an event? (eg, Register "no"?)

    Thanks!

    Hello Reuben,
     
    1) Each member record has one 'main' email address. You can add custom fields using database customization function but they will not be used in any emailing functions, can be only exported etc.
    So we can not think of an easy way to handle your need to cc a parent on emails to a member.
     
    2) There is no 'clean' way to do, a workaround is to have a custom event registration field 'Are you attending?' and move it up to make the very first field on the event form.
    We do plan to provide a more straightforward way to handle negative RSVPs later in the year.

    We also have a sports team and need to have email addresses for each child and sometimes multiple parent emails.  Here's a workaround I've started to use for parent emails:

    1) We created a custom text field on the membership application for the applicant to list the parent email addresses.  We also created a separate membership type called "Additional Parent e-Mail" that's not included on any forms or in the directory - but it's automatically included on event reminders.  I manually create the parents as this member type which enables the option to also include the parents on member emailings.  - Note: this manual work around works as the team has fewer than 15 players.  It may become too work intensive for a larger organization.

    2) The confirm no would also be a good capability for our sports team as well as it's presumed all Players can attend events unless they explicitely indicate a negative.

    1) Great workaround!

    I have added mutiple emails and confirm 'No' features to our list. It is a long list but we are moving forward fast and things get bumped up as we get more similar requests.

    As always - all this feedback is highly appreciated.
