  • 1.  How do I receive a notification when a submission is accepted?

    I don't see an option to create a planner notification in the abstract management portal so that I am sent an email when a submission is accepted. This is the process we are hoping to accomplish:

    1. My colleague accepts a submission
    2. I am notified
    3. I send a manual email to the co-authors (manually, outside of Cvent)

    We have a system for 1 and 3. But, I need to know whenever my colleague accepts a submission, so I can be sure to promptly follow up with the co-authors (since it is not possible to have automatic emails sent to co-authors).

    Any thoughts?

    Hi Joshua,

    Unfortunately right now we aren't able to set up planner alerts in Abstract, however this is great feedback to put in the "Ideas" section of the Community. I would recommed copying the Submission Accepted email with an audience of Co-Authors and having your collegue send that one out at the same time that the Author one goes out.

    Best,

    Joshua,
    I see Erica mentioned this but I was unable to figure this out last year. At that time it was not a feature.  My workaround was "old school."  I had to go in weekly/biweekly etc.  Review all submissions and then push out the emails.  Not ideal but it worked.

    Lesley,

    Thanks for your input. How did your emails distinguish between Accepted and Rejected submissions? For example, consider the following:

    Submission 1 is Accepted
    Submission 2 is Rejected
    Submission 3 is Accepted

    Automatic Accepted/Rejected emails are sent to Authors. How can I manual email system be set up so that the appropriate email is sent to co-authors (depending on whether their submission was accepted vs. rejected)?

    Also, this is somewhat of a tangent, but if a manual email goes out to co-authors as the audience, if we were to run that same email again, would it go only to new co-authors that hadn't yet received the email or would it go out to all co-authors in the system every time it is run?

    Thanks.
