## Automated Event Messages

All Virtual Coffee events have automated messages attached to them:

| Message | Slack Channel | When |
|---------|---------------|------|
| This Week's Events | `#announcements` | Mondays at 8:00 AM local time |
| Today's Events | `#announcements` | Every day with an event _except_ Monday at 8:00 AM local time |
| Starting Soon | `#vc-events-admin` | 10 minutes prior to the event |
| Starting Soon | `#vc-events` or other channel | 10 minutes prior to the event |

- **This Week's Events:** An itinerary of the week's Virtual Coffee events, including event name, time, and in which Slack channel the join link will be posted (default `#vc-events`)
- **Today's Events:** A listing of that day's Virtual Coffee events, including event name, time, description, and in which Slack channel the join link will be posted (default `#vc-events`)
- **Starting Soon:** The content of this message changes depending on which Slack channel it's posted in
- This message is usually posted in `#vc-events`, however, the Coffee Table Group Leader can elect to have it post to a different channel if they feel it's more appropriate to their Coffee Table Group. The content includes the event name, time, description, and a button that reads, 'Join Event,' which allows Virtual Coffee members to enter the event's Zoom room.
- In addition, this message is always posted to `#vc-events-admin`. The content of this message includes the event name, time, location (Zoom URL), host code, and in which Slack channel the join link is posted. It also displays a 'Join Event' button for the Coffee Table Hosts and Leader to use.
- The 'Join Event' buttons in both messages are identical, so a Coffee Table Host or Leader can use either one.
