Does anyone know if it's possible to customise seminar notifications at a session level?

For context, for the first time we are looking at running multi-day events where all sessions are mandatory.
As such we are setting up multiple sessions in the one event.
Our stakeholder has asked if each session can have customised Booking and Reminder notifications to specify what is going to be covered on each day.

Typically we use legacy notifications but happy to try the updated ones if necessary to make this happen.

Hi Jake

Under Seminar Global settings it is possible to enable Event roles - once enabled you can assign roles to each event in the seminar and people in this role will receive notifications

Let me know if this doesn't work as expected .

Thanks Craig,

What I was actually hoping to do was have each session in a single event have its own customised notification, primarily for the "Booking confirmation" notification.
Since each session in an event sends an individual email on sign up, we were hoping we could include specific details about what each session entails within its individual email.

Hoping that makes sense.

Hi Jake

Thanks for clarifying - unfortunately the lowest level that a notification message goes to is the seminar and not the session level.

Thought that might be the case.
Thanks Craig
