sesh - roadmap

Roles depending on RSVP option

Hi there,
It would be great if attendees could get a role depending on what RSVP option they choose. For example: in Minecraft Manhunt you could have people RSVP to be a hunter or speedrunner and give them roles accordingly.

When using 24 hour clock, display 24:00 as 00:00

Add more reminder time offset options

Perhaps add 1 week, 1 month, and even custom reminder options.

Originally suggested by Mercury / nosut

Auto event logs

After the event ends, send a copy of all information, URLS, images, to a channel for archiving should the info be needed again

Localize to other languages / locales

Limit individual RSVP options to certain roles

Ability to join on-going events

Allow users to react/join even if the event has already started and is still on-going.

Allow users to RSVP with +1s

I use sesh to schedule in-person events for a friend group as well as online events. It would be awesome to have an option for events to allow people to RSVP +1s like significant others to help with headcounts!

Add 'All Day' option for event

Max participants on event option

Add a limit to the total participants on an event, on top of the existing Signup Option limits.

Add a Time TBD option

For setting up and gathering interest for an event but you haven't decided a time or date yet. When a time is decided perhaps a ping could be sent out to inform people.

Make embeds more customizable (title link, footer image, etc)

https://discordapp.com/channels/616750784087982109/687392576860717144/741753833830744204

Add option for D/M/Y date format instead of M/D/Y (for parsing)

Add an event/poll previewer

When using the dashboard add at the bottom a live preview of what the event/poll would look like when posted.

Poll results needs more options

Allow us to change format to bar graph, pie chart, line graph or other.

Add additional "Clean Event Messages" Option in server settings

Currently "Clean Event Messages" deletes both the event start message AND the original event embed.
I would like an option to only delete the event start messages.

Event scheduler

There's a big gap on discord with no good event scheduler available at all - it would be great to extend sesh to meet this need.

The event scheduler would effectively be a group of multiple events, with rsvp options as per sesh events.

I've attached a mockup (to show how it should _work_, rather than how it should _look_) and showing that it can be achieved with things you already have working.

When setting up a scheduler, I want to give multiple possible event start times, and set a single set of rsvp options that apply to all of them (we would choose yes/maybe/no).

When responding to a scheduler, I want to see the possible event start times, to be able to respond with the rsvp options, and to be able to see who has already responded with each option.

I think this is much needed and doesn't exist - if you made it a premium feature, I think you'd get premium subscriptions just for this.

User-Specific Default Reminders

Allow a user to set their default reminder, such as "I want to by default be reminded an hour before events."

When signing up for an event that allows reminders, Sesh will DM the user (if they set a default) with a message saying "Per your default settings, you will be reminded 1 hour before this event starts. Would you like to receive a reminder at a different time for this event?" - Reactions for Yes and Remove Reminder.

If the user doesn't want to change the reminder for the event, no interaction is needed.

Ability to ping roles/users when creating a poll

Originally suggested by t.mc.h#2478

Custom emojis for polls

Allow the use of custom emojis for the reactions of polls.

Thread improvements

Add more tokens similar to $EventName, such as $StartTime

Add option to delete thread on event end

Support private threads

Calendar Image for Live Lists

This may be too fancy of a feature, but I'd love to see an image generated of a monthly calendar, with event dates highlighted, and have that image updated beneath a live list every time an event is added to that month.

The visual language of seeing a calendar in Discord the way we're used to seeing them in apps would help a lot of folks plan ahead - specifically folks who don't want to integrate our entire calendar into their personal calendar, or who don't want to go through the several steps necessary to generate a calendar of ONLY events they RSVP to.

Add event creator notification options (DM on event RSVP, RSVP slots full)

https://discordapp.com/channels/616750784087982109/687392576860717144/750761625488851046

Settings | Mentions

Please add the mention options to the settings to be used as the base pre-set, as this would be much easier to navigate and set up

Schedule sharing feature

It would be awesome if we were able to share our schedules created on sesh with others, via email or DM!

Allow users to save embed colors for later use

Palette of presets you can save to

Have some way to reset / fully delete data for a server

Add time conversion for polls with end time

Allow deleting a single occurence in a series of repeating events

When you delete an event instance in a series of repeating events, sesh should ask you if you want to:
A. Delete just that instance (perhaps do this by default)
B. Delete all future occurrences too
C. Delete all past and future occurrences too

"Manage Sesh" permission to be able to edit/delete events

Improved Google Calendar sync

- Sync directly using Google Calender APIs for faster updating
- Two way sync allowing Google Calendar events to be imported to Discord/sesh

Alert user when they RSVP to an overlapping event

Originally suggested by photojoe#5323

Support Discord Native Events

Discord is now rolling out Native Events for Discord servers. It would be really cool to see Sesh integrate into this (maybe configurable on a per-event basis).

Lock event RSVPs x time before an event

Option to send event start message to a different channel than the event signup embed

Keep Users Enrolled on Recurring Event

Currently, recurring events reset the attendance list entirely each time. Would it be possible to have a feature that allows a person to remain selected by default when the new event is set up, until they change off that setting?

Full Event and Poll Listings on Dashboard

You can now view a table of events and polls on the web interface. Search, view attendees, edit, and delete events all from one place. You can even export event or poll data as a spreadsheet (.CSV). Give it a try: https://sesh.fyi/dashboard

Ability to edit single event in repeating events

Some times I want to edit a single event in a repeating event, like this one week adjust the time, title, or description. That would be very useful. The 2 way sync from google may address this.

Allow UTC as server time

Please allow for the use of UTC for server time as GMT/London changes to UTC+1 in late March.

Add a command or reaction to have sesh send you a list of only events you are RSVP'd to

Would show events on all sesh servers you're in (Originally suggested by nosut#0014)

Time polls

Polls designed around voting for an event time with more features / better display tailored to that use case.

Timestamp command

A simple timestamp command to translate into unix/discord format would be great, like the website offers.

Utilize Discord's OAuth on the roadmap (Upvoty)

Every user at least has a Discord account. Pls connect your Upvoty instance with Discord's OAuth
https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2

New Discord Slash Command and Button Interactions

Recently released feature to display commands after typing / and send them directly to a chosen bot, removing the need to change prefixes when using bots with the same command.

https://blog.discord.com/slash-commands-are-here-8db0a385d9e6

List filtering by channel

You can now add a filter to `!list` to only show events from a certain channel. For example, `!list #blue-team` will only show events in `#blue-team`. Multiple channels and other filters can be used too: `!list 3 days #design #engineering`. It also works with live lists! You can do the same with `!link` to get a filtered calendar feed, too.
------
Original post:
Allow users to create a list for a single event channel or category.

Example:
!list #channel

Separate Channel Calendars

Up until now, sesh has used a single global calendar for your whole server. You can now turn on the "Use Separate Channel Calendars" setting to change this. This is handy if you have multiple groups on your server or want to restrict who can see certain events. See the !settings web page for details.
-----------
Original post:
The ability to create a second calendar on the same Discord server

Anonymous polls

Originally suggested by @Too lazy to change username#6969

Additionally, consider supporting hiding poll results until poll is ended (originally suggested by @iNgeon)

Remind me

!remind "hello" in 5 hours

PMs you a reminder. Others can opt in too.

When editing event, allow disabling of edit notification DM for RSVP'd users

Originally suggested by Mevin#1344

Improve !create time parsing

Improve manual timezone input for create: Handle words like "pacific", autoconvert pst/pdt to the whichever one is currently active

Improve confusing time parsing syntax around "at", "on", "in", "for" : Not putting the entire "time" portion of the text after an "at", "on", "in", or "for" can cause the time parser to get a bit confused. This is a bit trickier since it's not trivial to separate out the event title and time in some of these cases, but we can do better.

Support for Discord forum channels

"Now Starting" custom text

I would like the ability to customize what is said when an event starts. Instead of the "Event name is now starting".

Alternatively, to have the ability for an announcement to be made 1 hour to event start time. So that There is a notice even if no one is roled for the event that everyone can see.

User settings

- Option to use user timezone when creating events (instead of server timezone)
- Reminder settings (defaults, etc)

Change "ongoing" to "now"

Some people think that "ongoing" means recurring or always happening, especially when there is an all-day event like a convention happening.

Use Discord's new time markdown

Discord now allows time markdown based on unix timestamps that shows up in the client's own timezone & supports relative times (e.g. "in 5 hours"). Example notation:

It would be great if sesh utilizes this so having to convert timezones may become a thing of the past!

Option to limit poll voting to 1 option per user

"Hide Attendees" default server setting

I'd like an option to have "hide attendees" turned on by default at event creation. Messages can get long in servers with active event participants otherwise, which makes scrolling through event announcement channels somewhat inconvenient.

Log who edits/cancels events

Create a log of who edits or cancels an event and allow it to output to either a channel or directly in the server audit log

Date and time parsing improvements

- General parsing improvements

Multiple timezones on polling

Allow polls to auto-detect and translate timezones (so ppl can vote on a time/date and see their native TZ)

A Discord announcement channel that announces outages - when the bot is online and offline.

Role Assignment

Allow the option to make roles assigned from events permanent.

Channel-specific settings

Allow overriding server settings on a per channel basis.
