Today we’re dropping a big new update for sesh and also officially launching Votonic, our new feedback platform for Discord!

Votonic lets you create a feedback board and roadmap for your product, community, or whatever you are building. Unlike a lot of other feedback platforms, it’s free to use and includes a powerful Discord bot for deep integration with your community.

We’ve already been using Votonic for the sesh roadmap for a while now and it’s time to share it with everyone. Starting today, everyone can use Votonic to collect feedback from their own servers!

Plus, for the next week, sesh users get 50% off their first year using the code SESH (generous free tier also available).

On to today’s sesh update notes!

⏲️ Close RSVPs Early [Premium]

Sick of last minute RSVPs? You can now set a time for RSVPs to close before the event starts. Once RSVPs close on an event, the RSVP buttons will be disabled and users will be unable to RSVP from that point forward.

Check out the manual section for more details

🌐 /timestamp command

Now you can convert times to everyone’s local timezone inside Discord! Just run the /timestamp command with a time and timezone, and it will respond with a list of Discord markdown timestamps that you can use to show a time that will automatically display in each user’s timezone.

Check out the manual section for more details

📋 Sesh Discord Logs [Premium]

You can now have sesh send your sesh logs to a specific Discord channel! You can choose which channel to send the logs to, along with which log types to send. This feature can be accessed in the Logs section of your server’s settings page.
