To allow officials to view, accept or decline their appointments, they first need to be notified of the appointment. It is important that officials are always notified of their appointments: If an official is not notified about their appointment, they will not be able to view the appointment in AppointMe, and they will not receive notifications about cancellations, postponements or time/date/venue changes.
Select the checkbox ☐ next to the official's name, then the notification icon to generate an email notification to the official.
Alternatively, to select multiple fixtures and referees to send notifications for, select the checkbox underneath the notification icon to check on all fixture checkboxes for all officials in the filtered view.
If there are other appointments for the same referee that are also in an un-notified state, the Appointments Officer will be prompted to include other un-notified appointments. If yes, the email to the official will include a list of all the new appointments, avoiding sending the person multiple emails, each with a singular fixture.
A notification email modal will appear on screen, with the subject line and email content pre-populated. You can modify the content or subject if you wish.
Each email will be auto-populated with content specific to each official, listing the fixtures they have been assigned to. The first of these emails will display as an example for you at the bottom of the email modal 'Displaying 1 of X below'. The X value indicates how many notifications will be sent.
Click Send to Send the email notification to the official.
When a notification has been sent, the date and time of the last sent notification will display beside the notification icon.
