Question:
Is it possible to create an automation that only sends emails out to notify members of events published that are of a specific event category?

What are you trying to achieve:
I have a mentoring program. I schedule monthly meetings with all the mentors. When I add a meeting, I only want the mentors to receive a notification of the new event so they can RSVP.

What have you already tried:
Nothing as it looks like it is not possible and that an email would be sent for ALL newly published events.

Additional information:
None

Hi, user1812 !

It should likely be possible with Velo. By using onEventCreated() from wix-events-backend, I think you can detect when a new event has been added in the backend. In that case, you could write code that sends an email only when the specific event (identified by event ID, title, etc.) that you want to notify about is created.

Thank you. I looked at the API doc for OnEventCreated() and there is no acknowledgement of Category. I will have to call support.
