The WhatsApp platform continues to improve the user experience in its communities with the introduction of a new function aimed at optimizing the organization of events. All told, the popular messaging app is rolling out an event reminder tool that promises to be very useful for users who are part of communities and groups. It is designed to ensure that users do not miss any important events created by their community admins.
Allows administrators to set automatic reminders for events they create, reminders will notify users shortly before the event, thus ensuring greater participation. They can choose to send a notification a day before the event and another reminder an hour before the start, which will automatically be sent to all users who have confirmed their presence at the event, barring the possibility of forgetting.
While the reminder feature will be very useful, it is worth mentioning that users will not have the option to turn them off individually. However, these reminders will only be sent to those who have RSVP’d to the events, so the best way to avoid these notifications is to not sign up for the events in the first place.
Here are the benefits:
– More participation: By receiving reminders, users are less likely to forget events, which can significantly increase attendance and engagement
– Improved organization: Community admins will be able to manage their events more efficiently, ensuring all members are informed and prepared.
– Active interaction: This feature encourages more active and constant communication within the community, strengthening connections and user engagement.
Although still in development, the new event reminder feature WhatsApp Intended to significantly improve user experience in communities. The release date is yet to be announced, but it is only a matter of time before everyone can benefit from this handy tool.
