Introducing Batch Edit RSVPs: Streamline Your Tee Time Management

We're excited to announce a brand-new feature on our website that will revolutionize how admins manage tee times: Batch Edit RSVPs. This powerful update allows you to easily swap players, assign new participants, or remove players from multiple tee times—all in one efficient pass.

What’s New?

Managing RSVPs for multiple tee times can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when changes need to be applied across several tee times. With our Batch Edit RSVPs feature, admins now have a centralized tool to:

  • Swap Players: Quickly exchange one player for another across tee times.
  • Assign Players: Add new participants to upcoming events without manual, individual updates.
  • Remove Players: Effortlessly clear out RSVPs from tee times where players are no longer available.

How It Works

1. Select Your Tee Times

Begin by choosing the tee times you need to modify. Whether you're dealing with a single event or multiple events simultaneously, our intuitive interface lets you select the relevant tee times with ease.

2. Choose Your Action

Decide whether you’re swapping, assigning, or removing players. The interface offers clear options for each action, ensuring you apply the correct change to the appropriate slots.

3. Apply Changes in Bulk

Once your selections are made, simply confirm your action. Our system processes your request, updating all selected tee times in one go. This batch process minimizes the risk of errors and saves you valuable time.

Why Batch Edit RSVPs?

  • Efficiency: Say goodbye to tedious manual updates. With just a few clicks, modify multiple RSVPs, allowing you to focus on other important tasks.
  • Accuracy: Reduce the risk of human error when updating numerous tee times. Our system ensures that all changes are consistently applied.
  • Flexibility: Whether you're preparing for a tournament or managing regular play, this tool adapts to your needs, making it easier to respond to last-minute changes.

Real-World Benefits

Imagine this scenario: a key player is unexpectedly unavailable, and you need to replace them with another member. Instead of logging into each event individually, you can now perform a batch swap—instantly updating the affected slot. Alternatively, if a group of players confirms their attendance at the last minute, you can quickly assign them to available slots, ensuring your event runs smoothly without any delays.

Getting Started

We designed Batch Edit RSVPs with you in mind. To start using this new feature:

  1. Log in to your admin dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the Event Options section.
  3. Select “Batch Edit RSVPs” and follow the on-screen prompts.

For any questions please contact us.

Happy teeing off!

Understanding Messaging with the TeeTimeHelper App

We've received many questions about messaging features in the new TeeTimeHelper App. Here's everything you need to know to make the most of this powerful tool.

Admin Messaging Capabilities

As an admin, you have the flexibility to send messages from various devices. Whether you're using a computer, tablet, or mobile device, you can send messages through:

You can mix and match these options as needed. There are no restrictions or special configurations required—just use whatever device and platform work best for you.

Messaging for Members


For Members Without the App

If a member has not installed the TeeTimeHelper app, your messages will be delivered via email, as usual.

For Members With the App

When a member has the app installed, messages will default to being delivered as push notifications instead of emails. Push notifications offer faster and more direct access to your messages.

Messages with Attachments

If a message includes an attachment, an email containing the attachment will also be sent. Push notifications themselves cannot include attachments, so this ensures your members still receive all necessary materials.

Push Notifications vs. Emails

Similarities

Both push notifications and emails are typically received as notifications on your device. For emails, the notification will display the email icon and open your mail app when clicked.

TeeTimeHelper Push Notifications

Push notifications from TeeTimeHelper offer several advantages:

  • Direct Access: Pressing a push notification opens the TeeTimeHelper app, giving you quicker access to your events and information.

  • Convenient Storage: Push notifications are stored in the app under the "Messages" tab. If you accidentally dismiss a notification, you can easily revisit it within the app.

Customizing Notifications

Push notifications are enabled by default when the app is installed. If you or your members prefer receiving emails instead of push notifications, simply:

  1. Go to the "Settings" tab in the app.

  2. De-select the option for "Use push notifications in lieu of emails."

This ensures you can tailor the experience to fit your communication preferences.

New Settings to Enhance Golf Event Management

 

Thanks to valuable feedback from our customers, we've introduced new settings to help admins customize their events.

We’ve added two options to the Settings area: Receive RSVP Digests and Enable Chat Popup.

  • Receive RSVP Digests: This setting lets you decide if you'd like to receive consolidated email summaries of new RSVPs for recently created events. For example, after creating an event, all new RSVPs are consolidated into regular notifications, keeping you updated on who has responded.
  • Enable Chat Popup: This toggle gives you control over whether the chat popup appears on all your event pages.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us!
