Sometimes EE sends out the event reminder email to a registration even though that attendee has already cancelled. Anyway this is fixable? WordPress Version: 6.7.2 |

Hi there, Do you mean when using the Automated Upcoming Event Notifications (AUEN for short) or when manually sending? If using AUEN, do you know if this is with upcoming Event or Datetime notifications? If unsure no problem, just narrowing this down a little. Also, just to double-check, the ‘Registration Status’ for these cancelled attendees was already set to ‘Cancelled’, correct? (I’m assuming this is the case but just confirming) But then they received the notification anyway. |

Great questions! It was definitely an “Automated Upcoming Event Notification”. I see the Registration Status Change was set to “Cancelled” on February 19, 2025 at 11:13 pm. On Fri, Feb 21, 2025 at 7:58 AM they got an Upcoming Event Reminder. HOWEVER, I can’t find this email message in the Message Activity tab in EE. I’m stumped how they got that email. The template is the one we use in EE but I can’t find a record of it in EE! |

Yeah thats really weird! I did some digging into this to check the query used to pull in the registrations and this is what is set:
In english:
The above is hardcoded into the add-on and can’t be changed so its really strange that your getting a cancelled Reg triggering te email. A cancelled registration will have STS_ID of ‘RCN’ (aka Registration CaNcelled) and so wouldn’t be included in that query. Was this a single registration or part of a group? |

It looks like it was part of a transaction of 8 registrations, would that classify as a group? |
|
Yeah, that’s a group registration. Very strange indeed. Was this cancelled registration a ‘moved’ registration or just one that had been manually cancelled? (I’m just trying to work through all possible scenarios here to see if I can reproduce this) |
