Children without their own email address
Create children without their own address using a family address like jonas:petra@example.com. A full member, and all mail goes to the parent.
Diese Funktion ist nur im Web verfügbar.
What is this?
Many children do not have their own email address. So that they are still full, active members, you create them with a family address: jonas:petra@example.com. The part before the colon is just a name; all mail arrives at petra@example.com. Jonas sees events, gets reminders, counts in lists, and Petra responds for him.
How to create a child
- Open Members > Add member.
- Enter the child's first and last name.
- Under "Guardian of" select the parent, for example Petra Müller. She must already be a member of the choir.
- The address field is prefilled with the family address, such as
jonas:petra@example.com. You can adjust it. - Choose voice, permission group and status as usual and save.
Jonas is now an active member, the parent link to Petra is active immediately, and Petra receives a notification.
What the parent receives
Everything Chorilo sends to Jonas arrives at Petra's address:
- Login details and invitation
- Reminders about open responses
- Notifications from the choir
Petra receives this mail in addition to her own, because she is a member herself.
Why not a passive member without an address?
A member "without email" in the previous sense is a passive member: they see no events, get no reminders and cannot respond to anything, not even through their parents. For children whose parents are supposed to confirm and decline, that is useless. The family address achieves the same as a real address without the child needing a mailbox.
Their own login later
Jonas can sign in himself at any time with the family address and the login details Petra received. As soon as he has his own email address, he changes it in his profile. The link to Petra is not affected.
Requirements
- The parent needs a real email address and must be a member of the choir. For parents who do not sing, tick Exempt from events.
- If the parent changes their address, the children's family addresses stay unchanged. Adjust them in the children's member details then.
- Identical first names with the same parent address automatically get a number appended.
