Shared Calendar with RSVP

We’re excited to announce that Invite with RSVP is now available in your calendar.  Start sending invites to calendar users and email subscribers.  Request a RSVP as Accept, Decline, or Maybe.  You also have the option to track attendance for your event!

 


 

How it Works

1. Sending an Invitation

Start by adding an event.  Next, go to the “Invite & Remind” to send an invitation or event announcement.

2. Select Your Email List

Select attendees and set reminders as you always have.  It’s easier to add subscribers without going to the Admin Menu.

3. Track Event RSVPs

Instant RSVP email notifications & attendee comments are sent to the designated RSVP contact.  To get a RSVP summary, simply edit your event and go to the “Invite & Remind” tab.   If someone RSVPs over the phone or in person, you can edit the RSVP yourself.

If you like, set up a default RSVP Contact in the Admin Menu > Calendar Options > Expert tab

4. Attendance Tracking

Use the ‘Attended’ column to keep track of who attended an event.  The attendee list will remain intact for future reference.  If you like, sort or print the list for your records.

Features to use with RSVP:

Reminder Email Template:

Change the colors and styles of the invite and reminder templates. Learn more.

Smart Update:

If you add a lot of repeating events, we’d suggest turning on our SmartUpdate feature to preserve event information. In other words, it will let you edit a repeating event without overwriting individual event content and RSVP data.

File Manager:

Attach documents or insert an image into your event.  Documents will be included in your event invite, announcement, or reminder.  Learn more about attaching documents to an event or inserting an image into an event.
