  • 1.  Registrant Checklists not sending

    Posted 20 days ago

    Hi there

    I hope everyone is keeping well. 

    Something strange seems to have happened and my poor old brain can't seem to find the problem. Ever since the clocks changed to move into BST (British Summer Time), the Registrant Checklist emails no longer send automatically. 

    This seems like something new - I have never had this issue before - they usually just go out an hour earlier (or later) than created. 

    Any thoughts or advice here? 

    Also, on this subject - can we please get BST added to the time zone list? My poor fellow countrymen get confused when it still says GMT and not BST once clocks have changed 

    Thank you

    Hello Declan,

    There's no known issue where BST breaks Registrant Checklist Alerts. If they stop sending, it's usually due to setup-not timezone itself.

    Common reasons

    • Scheduled time is in the past
      If the alert time has already passed, it fires once (or immediately) and won't run again. You'll need to create a new alert.
    • One-time send only
      These alerts don't auto-repeat. Once sent, new registrants won't get it unless you set up another alert.
    • Old alerts edited after expiry
      Editing alerts with past send times can behave inconsistently. Best practice: create a fresh alert instead of reusing old ones.

    What to check

    • Go to Registrant Checklist Alerts
    • Confirm send date/time isn't in the past
    • Test by sending it to yourself
    • If test works → issue is just that the original schedule is already "used up"

    What to do going forward

    • Delete and recreate alerts for future sessions
    • Use a future send time
    • Make sure time zone is set correctly
    • Always test one alert before relying on it

    About BST timezone

    • BST isn't a separate option (by design)
    • Use "Greenwich (London)" → it automatically adjusts for DST (BST)

    If you want "BST" shown

    • Change the label in Language Management (rename GMT → BST).

    Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you!

    Regards,

    Hi Sanjog

     

    Thank you for getting back to me

     

    I cannot find the issue – the checklists are all scheduled to go out on the day of – and they are just not sending

    I have at least 50 event coming up, so to have to go through and recreate these is going to be areal nuisance, since they are copies of earlier events where they were working fine – the problem literally appeared as soon as the clocks have changed.

     

    Are you able to go in there and take a look in case I am being blind and not seeing the issue?

     

    Thank you

    Hello Declan,

    Thank you for checking and getting back to me. I've opened a case (33753159) so we can escalate this to our technical team and investigate the issue further. I reviewed a couple of your events-

    • Eos Intensives: Magic Sheets & Macros – 14 April 2026 – London, UK
    • Eos Intensives: Advanced Patching – 14 April 2026 – London, UK

    -and confirmed that the registrant checklist is set up correctly. I ran few reports and could not see that the alert was triggered.

    I'll update you as soon as I hear back from the team. Thank you!

    Regards,

    Hello Declan,

    Happy Friday, and thank you for your patience.

    We investigated the issue further and the technical team confirmed that the planner checklist was successfully delivered on the day of the event. Could you please check whether the email may have been directed to your spam or junk folder?

    For your reference, a screenshot of the sent email is included below.

    Please let me know if this helps or if you need any further details, Thank you!

    Regards,

    Hi Sanjog

     

    Thank you for getting back to me

     

    I think what they are seeing is my manual re-triggering of the emails.

     

    If you look at the recipient lists, there are usually 4 people that it gets sent to – and nobody is getting them – so this cannot be a junk/spam folder issue, since it is new and never been a problem before.

     

    This problem is persistent across all our events, so may need some further investigation please

     

    Thank you for your help

    Hello Declan,

    Thank you for the clarification. 

    We'll take a closer look at the email delivery process, including trigger logs and sending infrastructure, to identify where things might be failing. We'll update you as soon as we have more information.

    Appreciate your patience!
