ticket/rsvp features?

[Jay Thompson]

Using The Event Calendar on a client site under development.

Would like to add RSVPs, so added the Event Tickets plugin, but see now that it doesn’t provide any notifications to the event organizer when a visitor RSVPs (an admin needs to look manually at the list of attendees in the list of events).

Is there an add-on or premium plugin I can purchase that adds these functions:

• Ability to send an email to a specific admin (or other email address) when a site visitor RSVPs?
• Ability to edit/control the “sent from” email address on the RSVP confirmation to the user?

Don’t mind paying for your product, but am not sure if the paid ticketing plugin will do what I’m hoping.

Thanks.

Howdy Jay Thompson,

Good questions.

• Ability to send an email to a specific admin (or other email address) when a site visitor RSVPs?

We do not yet offer that ability. We are wanting to add this feature as soon as we can, but it’s likely going to be a few more months before we can start building it and then release it as an update.

In the mean time some people have added this capability using some custom code: https://github.com/thebeard/events-calendar-pro-organizer-mail That code is specific to Event Tickets Plus/WooCommerce, but if you or someone you have on hire is good with PHP it could certainly be modified to work for RSVPs as those are extremely similar on the backend.

• Ability to edit/control the “sent from” email address on the RSVP confirmation to the user?

This can already be accomplished with a little bit of PHP knowhow. The email itself is sent using wp_mail(). The $headers arg is an array, and is run through the filter ‘tribe_rsvp_email_headers’. Checkout the documentation on wp_mail() there if you’re not familiar with it, it shows you how to set the custom ‘From:’ header.

If you would like to see this become a feature rather than a small code modification, please by all means request it: UserVoice (feature suggestion page for The Events Calendar)

Does that all make sense? Please let me know.

Cheers!
