Enable Group RSVP

The RSVP function is enabled in group type settings, making RSVP features available to any groups within that type. All RSVP features are tied directly to a group. That means you must have a group created before you can use RSVP. The group doesn't need to have any members, but it needs to exist so individuals who accept your RSVP can be added to it.

To enable RSVP for a group type, navigate to Admin Tools > General Settings > Group Types and open the RSVP settings for the group type.

  1. Group RSVP Enabled - This checkbox must be selected to access RSVP features for any group of this type. Once enabled, the other two fields related to RSVP will appear.
  2. RSVP Reminder System Communication - Select the System Communication that should be used to send reminders to invitees who have Accepted. Only communications in the “RSVP Confirmation” category will be available for selection. The selected communication will automatically be used with all groups of this type. Leave this blank to set the System Communication on each group individually.
  3. RSVP Reminder Offset Days - Indicate how many days before the event the reminder should be sent. Like the communication selection, you won’t be able to change the offset days for individual groups if you set a value here. All groups of this type will inherit the offset days set at the group type level. Set this to '0' days if you instead want to manage the reminder offset days on each group individually.
