How Do I Manage RSVPs and Event Attendees?

Learn how to manage RSVPs, message attendees, control Event link access, and automate responses for seamless Event hosting

Updated this week

RSVPs make it easy for members to let you know whether they plan to attend your Event.

As the Event Host, you can track responses, message attendees, restrict access to the Event Link, close RSVPs, and automate Event actions on eligible plans.

Enabling Event RSVPs

To allow members to RSVP:

  1. Toggle Enable RSVPs on.

Members can choose Going, Maybe, or Not Going. They can also export the Event to their calendar and leave comments.



Changing RSVPs

Members can update their RSVP until the Event begins.

  • If the Event has started: Only members who selected Maybe can update their status to Going or Not Going, add the Event to their calendar, and comment.

  • After the Event ends: they won’t be able to update their RSVP unless they selected "Maybe," in which case they can change to "Yes" or "No."

If RSVPs Are Turned Off

Members will not see RSVP options, and no RSVP list will appear.

Restricting Access to the Event Link

You can choose who can see your Event Link (the meeting URL):

  • Toggle Restrict Event Link on to allow only members who RSVP Going to view the link.

  • Members who RSVP Maybe will not see the link.

  • If Restrict Event Link is off, anyone who can see the Event can access the link.


Steps for Limiting Link Access

To ensure only confirmed attendees have access:

  1. Turn on Restrict Event Link.

  2. Keep the Event Link field empty until shortly before the Event.

  3. Close RSVPs when you’re ready.

  4. Add the Event Link.

  5. Once the Event starts, members cannot RSVP Going to access the link.

How to Close RSVPs

If you want to keep the current RSVP list as-is:

  1. Edit the Event.

  2. Toggle Close RSVPs on.

You can reopen RSVPs anytime by toggling it off.



How to Message Event Attendees

Note: Members who RSVP Going or Maybe receive automatic reminders—10 minutes before online Events and 24 hours before local Events.

To message attendees:

  1. Open the Event.

  2. Click the three-dot menu in the top right corner.

  3. Select Send Message.

  4. Choose your audience:

    • Going

    • Maybe

    • Not Going

    • No RSVPs

  5. Write your message and click Send Message.



What Members See

Members receive a notification:
“[Host Name] sent you a message about [Event Name].”

They can reply via private chat or click See Event to open the Event page.

Automating RSVP Actions

On the Business Plan and above Event Automations can help you manage RSVP-based actions without manual updates.

RSVP Triggers

  • RSVP to Event: Trigger an action when a member selects a specific RSVP status.

  • Event Reached Number of RSVPs: Trigger an action when RSVPs reach a certain count (greater than, equal to, or less than your chosen number). This trigger fires only once per Event.

Automatable Actions

Notes for Recurring Events

  • Automations apply to one-time Events or the Series for recurring Events.

  • If a member RSVPs to a Series, the automation applies to the whole Series—not individual Event instances.

Downloading Event RSVPs

To download the RSVP list:

  1. Open the Event or the RSVP page.

  2. Click the three-dot menu.

  3. Select Download RSVPs.

You’ll receive an email with a link to download a CSV file.
