Stay in the loop · Event reminders
reminders you never have to send.
Crews reminds everyone who said they are going, 24 hours and 1 hour before the event starts, with an in-app notification and a web push. Organizers don’t set anything up, and members can turn reminders off in their settings.
The “see you tomorrow!” message nobody reads
Organizers end up doing reminders by hand: a message in the chat the night before, another an hour before, and a few direct messages to the people who always forget. It works until you get busy, and then the no-shows start.
Crews sends the reminders for you. They go only to people who RSVPed going, plus the organizer, so the maybes and not-goings aren’t pestered. And because reminders come from the event rather than the chat, they still arrive for members who have muted the crew conversation.
How it works
event reminders, step by step.
- 1
Post the event
Create an event on the crew calendar as usual. There is nothing extra to set up.
- 2
Members RSVP going
Everyone who taps going is on the reminder list. Change to not going and the reminders stop.
- 3
A day before
Crews sends a reminder 24 hours before the start, time to sort kit, childcare or a lift.
- 4
An hour before
A second reminder lands 1 hour before. Tap it to open the event, check the details and jump into the event chat.
The details
what you get.
24 hours and 1 hour before
Two reminders at fixed times that work for most club events, from an evening run to a weekend workshop.
Only for people going
Reminders go to members who RSVPed going and to the event organizer, nobody else.
Push and in-app
Web push on phones and desktops that support it, plus an entry in the Crews notification list.
Follows the new time
Move an event and its reminders move with it, timed to the new start.
No last-minute noise
An event posted this afternoon for tonight won’t get a “tomorrow” reminder. Reminders only go out when there was time for them to be useful.
Members stay in control
Anyone can switch event reminders off in notification settings without losing other alerts.
When does Crews send event reminders?
Twice: 24 hours before the event starts and 1 hour before. Events created less than a day ahead skip the 24-hour reminder.
Who gets reminded?
Everyone who RSVPed going, plus the event organizer. People who answered maybe or not going don’t get reminders.
Can members turn reminders off?
Yes. Event reminders have their own switch in notification settings, separate from new events, changes, messages and mentions.
Does Crews send email or SMS reminders?
No. Reminders are in-app and web push only. Email notifications are on the roadmap, not available yet.
Can I choose different reminder times?
Not today. Reminders are always sent 24 hours and 1 hour before the start.
Do reminders work for recurring events?
Yes. Each date in a series is its own event, so people going to that date are reminded before it.
