RSVP Management
Track who's attending your events
TL;DR: Members RSVP Yes/No/Maybe to events. After event, mark actual attendance (separate from RSVP).
RSVP vs Attendance
RSVP (Before Event):
- Member indicates if they plan to attend
- Responses: Yes, No, Maybe
- Optional notes from member
- Parents can RSVP for youth
Attendance (After Event):
- Mark who actually attended
- Separate from RSVP (someone might RSVP "No" but show up)
- Used for tracking participation
Viewing RSVPs
From Event Page:
- Events → Select event
- View RSVP summary (counts by response type)
- See detailed list of responses
Responses Show:
- Member name
- Response (Yes/No/Maybe)
- Notes (if provided)
- Timestamp
Managing Attendance
After Event:
- Events → Select event → Mark Attendance
- Check boxes for members who attended
- Save
Note: Attendance is independent of RSVP. Use actual attendance for participation tracking.
RSVP Deadlines
Set optional deadline when creating event:
- Members can RSVP until deadline
- After deadline, RSVP form shows "Deadline passed"
- Leaders can still edit RSVPs and attendance
