Sending Calendar Invite to Active Participants

Here’s how you can send calendar invites to the active participants:

1. Select the Participant Group you want to send invites to.
2. Select the session you’d like to send an invite for and Click on the ‘Invite’ button right next to the Delete session button.
3. The platform will ask you ‘Would you like to send calendar invite to all participants?’ click on ‘Yes’ to send invites to all participants in the participant group.

<aside> 🔔 If a session is rescheduled or deleted it will reflect on the calendar view of iECHO. However, due to certain technical limitations, the rescheduling won’t reflect on your or the participants’ preferred calendar(Google, Outlook, etc.), this needs to be done manually.
