Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible for the Celcat Notifier to email a room convener (a staff member entered in the staff field on the Misc tab on a Room record) when an event is created/modified/deleted?

The College is looking into ways to control restricted space and I thought this might be a solution.

Thanks

We have a couple of research facilities and simulation areas that refuse to use celcat for booking. In finding a way around the impasse it was proposed that an email be sent whenever a booking related to their space be generated to inform them. I was just trying to find a way to automate this within Celcat by hopefully using the Staff field on the room record.

If Celcat can not do this, I'll need to find another way around the problem. Though if this is the case, I'd like to suggest that this possibility be investigated for a future improvement.

Hello Warrick,

The only possible workaround for this could be to add the staff member[s] from the faculties that need to be informed that one of their rooms has been booked, is to add them to the event itself. You will need to make sure that they have a staff record within CELCAT created with the email or mobile number information.

These ones would then be notified of the event created/amended/deleted, although it would show that they are a part of the event.

Hope this helps you out a bit more!

Thanks for your assistance, I had a feeling you were going to say that, but hoped you wouldn't. :)

I think that will have to be the fall back at the moment.
