Dear %{First_Name},

The volunteer MIT Tech Mentors would like to wish you a very healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year. We would also like to remind you that we are experienced Hivebrite admins who are ready to meet with other Hivebrite admins from clubs, classes, and affinity groups for hands-on troubleshooting on Zoom. We can assist you with:

  • Personalized support to identify problem details and implement alternative solutions
  • Initial onboarding and customized refresher training
  • The latest platform updates
  • Enhancements to your page designs that increase engagement
  • New volunteer Hivebrite training for your group

Schedule time with a Tech Mentor to get started and keep your group's communications running smoothly. Click here to learn more.

Hivebrite Recent Enhancements
  • Event admins are now able to preset up to three event reminders instead of one reminder as in the past. This is available within event communications.
  • The Sender email address on the event reminder setup page has been changed from [email protected] to the group's default email address.
  • On the event registration page, the system now uses clear labels ("Registration opens soon", "Register for this event", "Fully booked", etc.) to inform users of registration status. This update reduces admin inquiries and enhances the registration experience, ensuring transparency and user satisfaction.
