Want to attend someone else’s meetup?

When viewing the details of a meetup that another club member has organised you’ll have a few options available to you.

Clicking the green I'll be there button will:

  • Notify the meetup organiser that you’ll be attending
  • Add your name to the Will attend list
  • Send you an email with an attachment to add the meetup to your personal calendar
  • Notify you in the future if the meetup organiser changes anything.

Clicking the yellow Thinking about it button will:

  • Notify the meetup organiser that you’re interested and following the meetup, but as yet still unconfirmed
  • Add your name to the Might attend list
  • Send you an email with an attachment to add the meetup to your personal calendar
  • Notify you in the future if the meetup organiser changes anything.

Clicking the blue Add useful markers? will allow you to attach some additional and useful map markers on the meetup for things like parking, seating, eating outlets, etc.

When your meetup has ended:

When the meetup is over, the organiser will see a red banner a the top of their meetup (only the organiser can see this) and a green button to Complete the meetup.

Clicking the Complete the meetup button will take you to a screen which allows you to confirm the names of the people that attended the meetup.

The list of names is pre-populated using the names of the people that said they will or might attend.

There is also an option to add additional names to the list.

Completing then meetup then finalises the list of attendees and will automatically award a Socialite Badge to each attendee and a Facilitator Badge to the organiser.
