Notes

  • As of 2.2 the meeting_day and meeting_time parameters are no longer used and meeting_frequency has been reworked to support new group meeting frequencies. All three parameters will work as they did before the update for backwards compatibility but if you would like to take advantage of new parameters such as meeting_start_date then we recommend you update to the latest format.
