Using a template in a recurring event's title allows for easy recognition and understanding of recurring events. It eliminates the need for manual updates, saving time and reducing the risk of errors. This feature ensures that the event title accurately reflects the recurring nature of the event, making it easy for attendees to identify and plan for. It also allows for a personalized touch, making event planning and promotion more dynamic and exciting.
Here is a quick overview of how it works
{{ }}
anything between double curly brackets in the recurrence event title is considered as template for a recurrence series. You can add event dates or time in the dynamic future titles. Or even add multiple unique titles.
Formats supported for date and time
week
for week on the month of the event instanceWEEK
for week of the year of the event instanceyear
for year of the event instancemonth
for month of the event instanceday
for day of the event instancedate
for full date of the event instanceYYYY
for year of the event instanceMMM
for the first 3 letters of the month of the event instanceMM
for the first 2 letters of the month of the event instanceDD
for the first 2 letters of the day of the event instanceHH
for the first 2 letters of the hour of the event instancemm
for the first 2 letters of the minute of the event instancess
for the first 2 letters of second of the event instance
So for example to add date/month etc you can use My Events {{DD/MM}}
and to day day/month/year My Events {{DD-MM-YYY}}
etc ...
Sequential title switching for future events
You can also use templates to sequentially switch between different title. These can be as many as you want. For example {{titles=Test1, Test2, Test3}}
will switch between Test1, Test2 and Test3 for upcoming events in a series.
In the screenshot above the first weeks event will have Apex Legends as title and the second week will have League of Legends and so on... These titles can also include nested date template like {{titles=Test1, Test2 {{DD-MM}}, Test3}}
Randomly select titles
The bot can also be set to randomized the titles instead of selecting them in sequence by adding &r=true at the end of the title template like so
{{titles=Test1, Test2 {{DD-MM}}, Test3&r=true}}
This will make the bot pick these titles randomly instead of in sequence... maybe this can be a fun way to let the bot decide what to "play" or "watch" next
