Team captain change and team member email information

Noah Cooper:

Hey Shana!

If you can wait just about 3 more months ...

In the Winter release, Convio is building upon the work done on Returning (or Persistent) Teams in the Summer, and will be adding functionality to support the exact use case you described! Today, there are groups automatically created in the participant center that allow a participant to see their team members from the previous year. In that case, "team members from the previous year" refers to the members of the team that the participant was on in the previous year's event, not necessarily members of the team they are on this year who participated in the previous year's event, i.e. if they switched teams or if they are a new member of a team that has participated for several years. In the Winter release, we will be augmenting this functionality such that captains (and potentially team members, depending on your TeamRaiser's settings) will be provided with new groups that show team members of their current team who participated in the previous event. There will be two groups, one with the team's previous members who have not yet registered for this year's event and one for those that have, allowing the captain to message these segments separately. These new groups are, of course, dependent upon Returning Teams being enabled -- that is the foundation of the functionality.

Hi Noah,

Thank you so much for your response! This is very helpful. In the particular case I described, it sounds like I will be waiting with bated breath for the Winter release

Do you know if there is a document where I can see other items being released/updated in Winter?

Thanks again,

Shana
