RSVP Types and Invitations

[Chris]

It appears that an RSVP means that someone plans to attend. Is there a way to offer “Yes / No / Maybe” options? Also, do any of your plugins offer that capability to send invitations to a mailing list?

[Geoff]

Howdy Chris,

Excellent question. That is indeed a feature we are hoping to work on for a future release but, for now, Event Tickets merely captures the intent of someone who is planning to attend.

And, yes, the plugin does capture a list of attendees, which can then be exported and integrated into the mailing application of your choice.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

But <i>prior</i> to an event, before anyone has RSVPd, is there a way from within the plugin to send an email to a list inviting them to the event? Now that I think of it, I guess I’m looking for the ability to send a mass email containing an invitation, as well as buttons for RSVPing from within the email.

[Geoff]

Ah, gotcha — thanks for clarifying!

Yeah, I’m afraid the plugin does not do email marketing in and of itself, though you could use a service like Mail Chimp or Campaign Monitor to send that sort of mass message with a call to action to register for the event.

Does that help clear things up? Let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Is there a way to link the iCal importer to the RSVP “Yes! I will attend” button such that the event is added to a users calendar when they RSVP that they will attend the event?

[Geoff]

Hi Kara and thanks for chiming in! That might very well be possible, but it would take a level of custom development that we unfortunately are unable to support here in the forums.

Hey folks — I see one of my previous replies was marked as an answer. I’ll go ahead and close this thread but please do feel free to open a new one if any other questions pop up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
