Have you considered using survey monkey or calendly for that?
No but I can check them out. ThanksHave you considered using survey monkey or calendly for that?
Maybe change the response names from "In, maybe, likely" to the different dates they can update their status to? Or just use one of those email survey websites if you guys do so via email!I got another idea for a feature that might be handy for people. I don’t have a set day to play, instead I ask the core players what dates would work best a week out two ahead of time and once I get enough commitments I’ll send the invite to the larger group.
Is there any way to incorporate a link to a poll through this to let people check off any of the proposed dates they can play?
I incorporated your delay suggestion in v3.4 just released. Head over to resources and have a look.@Al Azouri - Once again thanks for creating this tool! I've been using it for my last 3-4 games and I absolutely love it. As mentioned I had issues with some people not getting texts, so I looked for another solution for that. It's not 100% built into this tool, but I found an extension for Google Voice that allows bulk texting with custom messages, Bulk Texter Lite. It's free (so far), and I only got it to work in Firefox. There's a good tutorial video to make it simple.
To get things flowing, I added another tab to the Sheets tool, and it's purpose is to create each player's custom message, including name/date/time/personal link, and I then just copy/paste those cells into the bulk texter in Voice and run the extension.
One thing I found with this is you can change the delay for each message in the extension, so I'm wondering if you can add that functionality to your messaging code and that might help with the occasional missed messages. Apparently Google uses some algorithm to stop spammers and whatever, and the longer the delay between messages the more likely they are to go through. I have it set to 45 seconds now and I think they're all getting through. For reference I'm sending about 15-20 per batch, so it takes about 10-15 minutes but it runs fine in the background. I'm sending out Saturday's reminders right now. Love it!
One other thing I might look into adding is a dsiabled or on hold guest. I have a few people on my invite list that don't always get the invite. It would be nice to be able to mark certain people to either show up or not show up on the full list, and also be able to mark specific people as on hold from receiving invites. I'd set these up so they were unaffected by the status reset.
It is your latest version 3.4. And you still have access to my fileLet me check on that. Maybe it broke as a result of the changes in v3.4. What version are you seeing this in.
Thanks a lot.Did you know you can change to status names to French - or whatever you want them to be
1 - Open a personal link. For example (Yann Vingte / Unknown)I just tested with the Demo copy and your copy. I was unable to reproduce the issue. Can you give the the exact steps you took?
Ok, I found the bug.1 - Open a personal link. For example (Yann Vingte / Unknown)
2 - Change status to "In"
3 - 11 people has "In" status. Threshold is 10.
PS : I reverted my test after this.
PS 2 : Nursy is "waitlist" because it changed her status by hand

Thanks a lot. Tried and it works OK ==> 11th goes to waitlist.I fixed it in the demo copy of v3.4
Also, I updated the code in the sheet you shared with me. All you have to do is deploy a new version. (Steps 15-18 in the ReadMe)
No,Mmmm ... without any web activity logged, one guy was moved to waitlist (9 in) even threshold is 10 ... around 13:00.
Do you have any sort of cron job doing something ? I can't see anything like this in the code
Yep. I re-deployed a second time now. We will see (but not before 1 month at least because this week is going to Vegas baby )I updates your code to match the demo version but you have to deploy it for it to fully take effect.
Have a great time in Vegas! I just got back from there Monday morning. Had a blast!Yep. I re-deployed a second time now. We will see (but not before 1 month at least because this week is going to Vegas baby )
Thanks for the help.
I’ll be ready for you to beta test the next version when you get back if you’re interested.But do not worry, I'll deploy from scratch the latest version when i come back from holiday.
Stoked for the next version - I haven’t updated in quite a while but it’s still been working well for me. Grateful for this resource!
Thanks! I was ablee to get it set up, looks great. However, when I use any of the drop downs (add a name, clear all, etc.) nothing actually happens. Doesn't look like the script is running.Kick this around. I consider it a beta still.

I have not yet updated the manual, but hopefully the changes are self explanatory.
