Meet-Up approval

Hey guys, I have friend who are local guides, they are aware that we are having a PhotoWalk on Saturday, however, it hasn’t been approved yet, I want them to be able to officially join the meet-up… Please help.

This is a Meet-up https://maps.google.com/localguides/meetup/87045584f5bf4cd994c6459c0ad3c6d4 I’m trying to get approved, hope you can help:

Here is the translation of the description:

" Hello, I’m coordinating a meet-up for Santo Domingo’s local guides. The meeting point will be the main statue of Columbus Park, Zona Colonial. From there we will start the PhotoWalk around most important buildings in the area. You are more than free to suggest routes or list of places to see. Also, if you have another friend interested you can share the link of this meet-up. Despite this is a PhotoWalk, we can finish the route by having a drink or stop and eat something.

Thank you for your interest! "

Hi @hectorsantillan04 Perhaps you could notify a moderator about this. @HelloJess should be able to help you out on this.

Regards

Thank you… Meet-up is tomorrow.

I don’t have answer yet. @HelloJess

Hello @hectorsantillan04 ,

I located your Meet-up and I do find that it is approved. It can be accessed here.

As an FYI, to help cut down on any short notice in planning a Local Guides Meet-up, we ask that any Meet-ups submitted are given at least a 2 week window prior to the planned date. This helps us to give us time to review the Meet-up and also gives you a long enough window to promote your event!

This post here has a ton of advice for persons like yourself that are interested in planning Meet-ups. Best of luck to you!

Thank you!!

I will keep that in mind for next meet-up!

Looking forward to have a great day today :slight_smile:

Sorry I didn’t respond yesterday @hectorsantillan04 I was taking a day off from Connect. The Googlers can approve meetups but the volunteer Moderators like me cannot. I do second Bruce’s words because if your Meetup appears only really briefly it’s likely that less or even no-one will come. You need some time to get the page up and to promote the idea to encourage people to come along.

Regards Paul

Hello @BruceDM ,

I posted a meet-up request this week.

From your reply, i understand that it was too late regarding the date of submission and the meet-up date.

I will correct that next time.

Thank you for your advice.

Hello @BruceDM

@PaulPavlinovich

Please can you check, why my Meetup has not been approved? I have done a lot already and always wrote a recap…

I really would be happy to organize the next here in Germany

@LudwigGermany

Hey @TorM ,

connect moderators can’t help here. The meet-up-approval process is Google internal.

Greetings, Ludwig.

I second @LudwigGermany 's words @TorM the volunteer moderators have no access to the Meetup system. It actually looks like that might have been a mistake because you were not given any feedback. I think Bruce is on vacation/holiday at the moment. I’ll raise your message on the moderator board and ask for a Googler to take a look.

Thank you @PaulPavlinovich !

It already has been confirmed and it is an overall issue.

I was already afraid that I didn’t receive approval because I made to many party meet ups for the community :wink::sunglasses:

Should I cancel one by myself?

Hi @TorM ,

Please, feel free to cancel the one you prefer, this will rectify the situation.

Thank you.

Hi @BruceDM @MashaPS

I just saw your advise regarding the timing for MeetUps submission.

I have one DOUALA meetup pending approval. Now I understand why it’s taking time to be approved.

Thank you
