Time and date change posts can be made directly to the Event Feed. This type of post can be helpful if it turns out your event must be delayed for any reason.


Even if the customer has opted out of receiving post notifications, all up-to-date information in the Event Feed is always available to the customer via the link provided in their original confirmation receipt. 


Regardless of opt-in status, all customers will always be notified when any post deemed an emergency message is posted, which includes Time Changes, Location Changes, and Cancelled or Postponed messages.


To make a Time Changed post, click the SELECT button under Time Changed on the Event Feed Tools. This will open the post editing tools. 

A new window will open allowing you to edit the custom message.

  1. Schedule your message to either post immediately when you are finished building it, or schedule a time in the future to automatically post the message. 
  2. Add a title to your message using the dropdown options (Event Delayed, Event Delayed Due to Inclement Weather, Event Times Have Changed, Event Date(s) Updated, Schedule Updated, Event Information Corrected)
  3. Fill the content box with the message you'd like to include, including the updated time/dates
  4. Designate the author; Staff is automatically chosen, but you can change it to whichever dropdown option best fits the message (You (first name), Staff, Event Staff, Festival Staff, System, Organizer Name)
  5. Determine who you'd like this message to be delivered to.  Select All tickets, Choose by section, or Choose by pricing to customize the audience for the custom message. For example, if a message only needs to be delivered to the VIP ticket holders, you would select Choose by section and only select the VIP ticket section.
  6. Click POST when you are finished building and automating the message.  You can also Cancel, Move to Trash, or Save as Draft
