How to send an event invite
An
Event Invite consists of both an
Event and an
Invite for that event. Events may have multiple invites that are sent at different times, to different groups, and have different settings. To create an invite you must first create an event. To create an event first click the
Event Invites option on the left-hand menu. After the menu folds out click
Events. To create an event first fill out the event name and date/time. An event can optionally have a location, details, and a URL for more details. Events can optionally be set to request RSVP replies from recipients. If you choose to have RSVP replies enabled your contacts will be instructed on how to respond (
YES/NO/MAYBE) to record their RSVP status. If RSVP replies are enabled you can also enable a public RSVP list w/ names. The public RSVP option allows recipents to reply
LIST to see who has RSVP'd for the event. If you do not choose to have a public RSVP list of names, recipients will only see the number of YES/MAYBE RSVP's when they reply LIST. There is one last option on the create event page and that is whether to include the admin in the Yes section of the publi RSVP list. Now save the new event and you're now ready to create an event invite. Click the
Create Invite button. To create an invite you simply need to verify the correct event is chosen in the dropdown menu and specify the details of the invite. When creating an invite it is usually best to choose to send yourself, the admin, a copy of the invite. This allows you to reply
LIST to the invite text in the days coming up to the event in order to see the RSVP list. Now save/send the invite. You can create multiple invites with varying settings for the same event. If you wish to create a new event start by visitng the events page and choosing the event first, then click the
Create Invite button as you did originally.
