To update an Alfy program, open Admin › Settings in the Alfy web dashboard, click Edit on the program, change its settings and click Save. You can do this at any time, and changes apply to the next rounds.

Step 1: Click Edit on the program#

Open the web dashboard, switch to Admin and open the Settings tab. Find the program under Programs and click Edit.

Step 2: Change the settings#

The Edit program window has the same fields as when you created the program:

audience channels and excluded people
Group size
How often?, At which time? and Select timezone
how matches are announced (Slack)
time-slot coordination and chat duration
the out-of-office option

For details on each field, see create a random coffee program.

Step 3: Click Save#

Click Save.

If Alfy warns about a draft#

When an admin has already opened the next round in the 24 hours before it starts, Alfy has drawn its groups early. If you then change the schedule, group size or audience, Alfy asks to confirm because saving clears those prepared groups, including any manual edits.

Click Save and clear draft to save. Alfy draws new groups.
Click Keep editing to go back without saving.
