Rock ships with several following events, but it's easy to set up additional ones yourself. You can manage these events under Admin Tools > Settings > System > Following Events. As pictured in the screenshot above, you can apply security to Following Events by clicking the ti ti-lock icon. The Following Settings block (see prior section above) will only allow subscribing to following events if the person has been granted 'View' access to that following event. If someone was subscribed to a following event that they no longer have access to view, when the following event notification is sent that event won't be included. NotePerson Note Added and Joined Group Type SecurityBecause the security of Notes and groups can't be checked when following events are being determined, each sensitive Following Event should be secured to match its related security configuration. For instance, if you have restrictions on who can view Pastoral Notes, then those same restrictions should be applied to the corresponding Following Event. To add a new event, click the ti ti-circle-plus from the top or bottom of the grid. Name - Provide the name of the event. This will also be used for the title on the email so it's best to use a plural form of the word like Birthdays. Active - Indicate whether the event is currently active.Description - Provide a brief description of the event.Event Type - Indicate the type of event you're configuring. Choose from the following options:Person Note AddedPerson AnniversaryPerson Prayer RequestPerson BaptizedPerson BirthdayPerson First Attended Group TypePerson First Joined Group TypePerson HistoryPerson History is an advanced tool that can be configured to provide powerful following recommendations. To learn more about this option, see the Person History Following Event section. Notice Required - We’ve already seen how people can choose which events to receive notifications for by changing their Following Settings. The “Notice Required” option means that individuals will always receive notifications for this event and cannot opt out from their Following Settings. Sometimes they should be given the option; other times you know what's best for them.Additional Settings - Some Event Types, like Person Baptized, provide additional options. See below for more details. Send Weekend Notices on Friday - No one wants their birthday to be missed because it's the weekend. This setting allows you to send notifications for events that will occur over the weekend on the Friday before.Notification Format - This is the Lava that will be merged into the email for each event. You'll probably want to copy/paste this from one of the standard events but feel free to modify it to meet your needs. Each event type has additional settings you'll want to configure. For instance, the Person Baptized event type lets you configure an Anniversary Count that you can use to commemorate the person's baptism. The Person Prayer Request event type also has an option to include non-public requests in the notification. Be sure to review the settings for each event type to maximize its usefulness. TipNever Forget A BirthdayFollowing events are great for a personal touch but if you want to have a fool-proof way of sending your best wishes to every person on their birthday then you may want to consider configuring a job to send an email to each person celebrating their birthday.
