Polls can be created in one two ways:

• /poll: This slash command is the simplest and fastest way to create an poll, simply type /poll in Discord and input the parameters.
• Web interface: Using the web interface to create polls allows you to customize your poll further - including setting an end time, limiting votes to one per user, time-based options, and more.

Custom RSVP Options allow you to use any emoji from servers where both you and Sesh are present as RSVP options for your events. This feature gives you complete flexibility in how you want to collect responses from your community members.

With Custom RSVP Options, you can use any emoji (animated or static) from servers where both you and Sesh are present. These custom options can be saved as presets for quick reuse, and you can even set them as server-wide defaults that apply to all new events. The feature also includes the ability to limit the number of users per RSVP option, with automatic waitlist management and DM notifications when spots open up.

Getting started with custom RSVPs is straightforward. You can select any emoji from servers where both you and Sesh are present, whether it's animated or static. These custom sets can be saved as presets for future events, making it easy to maintain consistency across your community's events. For even more convenience, you can set these as server-wide defaults that will automatically apply to all new events.

When you set limits on your RSVP options, Sesh automatically handles the waitlist process. Users who try to RSVP to a full option are automatically added to the waitlist. When a spot becomes available, they're automatically moved from the waitlist and notified via DM. Event organizers maintain full control over the waitlist and can manually manage it if needed. The waitlist status is always clearly visible in the event details, keeping everyone informed.

To make the most of Custom RSVP Options, consider creating themed RSVP sets that match your event's purpose. Using server defaults helps maintain consistency across your events, while setting appropriate limits ensures you can manage capacity effectively. Remember to regularly review and update your RSVP presets to keep them fresh and relevant for your community.

Users can view an easy to digest overview of all events in their server with the sesh calendar view. This view can be accessed via the dashboard by any member of the server.

Users have the ability to set certain preferences that affect how sesh functions for them. These settings can be accessed and modified via the dashboard or by DMing sesh /settings.

The timezone sesh will use to display certain times, along with the timezone sesh will use to parse times created with slash commands if Parsing Timezone is set to Personal.

Determines what timezone sesh will use to parse event times when creating events with /create. The server timezone can be set on your server's settings page.

If you have a personal timezone set, it is recommended to set this to Personal, so you can input times in your local timezone without having to convert them to your server's timezone first.

Determines whether to send confirmation DMs when you RSVP to an event. These DMs are necessary for receiving event reminders.

Determines whether to send ephemeral message replies when you RSVP to an event.

Determines whether to send a DM when you RSVP to an event that overlaps with another event you're attending.

Determines whether to send ephemeral message replies when you vote on a poll.

sesh allows mirroring of events to Discord's native events feature. Just check the "Mirror to Discord Native Event" box on the Create Event page. Alternatively, you can enable mirroring for every event on your server settings page.Discord native events will appear prominently in your server. Event listings will appear above your channel list, and a badge is shown on your server icon while the event is live.

When a sesh event is mirrored to a Discord native event, any changes to one will be applied to the other. For example if you rename the native event, the sesh event will also be renamed (and vice-versa).

For sesh to recognize RSVPs, users must signup via the sesh event message, and not the built-in Discord event viewer. The signup message will always be linked to in the description of the native event. Discord native events have a customizable location field. The location appears in multiple places around your native Discord event.

You can choose one of three options for customizing the Discord native event location.

• Event Signup Link - The location will be set to a link to the sesh signup message for the event.


• Voice Channel - The voice channel for the event. When the event starts, the voice channel will be visually highlighted in Discord. Only users with access to the voice channel will be able to see the native event.


• Stage Channel - The stage channel for the event. When the event starts, the stage channel will be visually highlighted in Discord. This option is only available if there is a Stage Channel present in the server.


• Somewhere Else - Any text you want, limited to 100 characters.

Use Google Calendar? sesh supports full two-way sync with direct Google Calendar API integration for speedy syncing. Just type /link in your server to get started.

Alternatively, you can navigate to your server's settings page on the dashboard and go to the Sync tab.

Once you authenticate with Google, you'll be able to select which direction you'd like to sync your events in:

You'll also be able to configure some additional settings, such as which events to include, which Google Calendar to sync to, and more.

Note that Google Calendar sync is still in beta. There are a few known issues we're working on, including:

• Recurring events: Hourly repeat events are not supported by Google Calendar and will not sync
• You may need to setup your sync again in case of a permissions or API error. In the future sesh will automatically resume syncing when errors are resolved.

We're also planning to add some more sync features soon, including:

• Discord native event support

If Google Calendar sync is not working as you expected, try logging out of your Google account on the sesh dashboard and logging back in. If you're still having trouble, you can attempt to unauthorize sesh from your Google account, and reauthorize it by logging in.

sesh supports the ability to create a Discord thread for every event. This is perfect for keeping your server organized by keeping individual event discussion in one place. You can setup event threads to be automatically created for every event on your server settings page, or you can create them per-event on the create page.

Event threads can be customized in various ways, including:

• Thread Title - The title of the thread itself, defaults to the name of the event. Can be customized further via placeholders.


• Add Attendees on RSVP - Determines whether to auto-invite users to the event thread when they signup. Note that only users who choose RSVP Options with Is Attendee enabled will be invited to thread.


• Event Start Message Destination - Where the event starting notification will be sent, either the thread itself or the parent channel.


• Auto Archive Duration - Inactivity period of the thread before Discord will automatically hide the thread from the channel list.

Notifications allow you to send reminders to any channel you like, at any time before or when the event starts. This is a useful feature to remind your members of upcoming events, or to notify them when an event starts.The title and description of a notification is completely customizable, allowing you to change the title and description of the notification message sent. Notification text also supports placeholders. You can modify an event's notifications on the event create page, or set server default notifications via your server settings page.

There are multiple options available for customizing notifications, such as:

• Fire Time - The time when the notification will be sent, relative to the event start time.


• Channel - The channel the notification will be sent to. If set to event's channel, the notification will be sent to the same channel as the event signup message.


• Message - The message of the notification. Supports Discord markdown along with placeholders. Note that both the title and the description can not be empty.


• Mentions - Users or roles to ping when the notification is sent. Requires both the user and sesh to have valid permissions to mention the roles or users.

Notifications are limited to 5 per event, and you can not have two notifications in the same channel at the same time.

Event templates allow you to reuse, share, and favorite existing events in order to easily recreate them. Templates can be created from any event, and can be accessed from the event creation page, event listings page, or your server settings page on the dashboard.

When you use a template to create an event, all fields on the event creation page will be automatically populated with the template's values. Keep in mind that anyone in your server can use favorited templates, but the normal permission checks will still apply.

For instance, if an event template is initially configured with the channel set to #private-channel, any server user will still have the ability to utilize the template. However, the channel will be automatically switched to one that they have access to.

Templates can be created from any previous event, or by simply using the current settings on the event create page. Opting for the latter approach enables you to save templates with certain essential event fields left blank, such as the start time.

You can view the details of an individual template at any time by clicking the button on the template item.

sesh stores detailed logs of everything that happens in regards to events, polls, and settings.

Users are able to view the logs for their server on their server settings page via the web interface. There is a log entry created for each of the following actions, with support for filtering by each one:

• Event Create
• Event Edit
• Event RSVP
• Event Remove RSVP
• Event Delete
• Poll Create
• Poll Edit
• Poll Add Option
• Poll Vote
• Poll Remove Vote
• Poll Force End
• Poll Delete
• Settings Modify
• Settings Premium Modify

At minimum, each log entry contains the user who performed the action, along with the type of the action itself.

The Live List feature provides a dynamic, real-time overview of all events in your server. Using the /list command, you can create an automatically updating list that keeps your community informed about upcoming events.

• Real-time updates as events are created, modified, or deleted
• Automatic sorting by event date and time
• Shows event details including title, date, and time
• Perfect for community announcements and event tracking

Simply use the /list command in any channel where you want the live list to appear.

The list will automatically update whenever:

• New events are created
• Existing events are modified
• Events are cancelled or deleted

Role Restrictions allow you to control who can participate in your events and polls by specifying which Discord roles are allowed to RSVP to events and vote on polls. This powerful feature helps you create exclusive events and polls for specific groups within your community.

• Restrict event RSVPs to specific roles
• Limit poll voting to designated roles
• Create exclusive events for VIP members or specific groups
• Maintain control over who can participate in important polls

When creating an event or poll, you can specify which roles are allowed to participate:

• Multiple roles can be selected for each event or poll
• Members must have at least one of the specified roles to participate

• Use role restrictions for exclusive events like VIP meetups or team meetings
• Create polls that only specific groups can vote on
• Combine with other features like attendee roles for maximum control
• Regularly review and update role restrictions as your community grows
