Online Event RSVP For Any Event how-to

Updated Aug 28th, 2024 by   AddEvent

Manage RSVPs for your event with our online event RSVP software.

If you’re looking for the perfect free online RSVP management tool, look no further! Using AddEvent as your free online RSVP tool, you can easily add and collect RSVPs for your events so you can keep track of who is coming. You can also collect names and email addresses and ask any other custom questions to gather information you wish to learn from your attendees, such as job title, company name, and questions for the host.

Enabling your free online RSVP functionality is as simple as checking the RSVP box on the event creation page. When your users navigate to your RSVP event landing page or event RSVP website, they’ll be prompted to fill out your online RSVP form, after which an Add to Calendar button will appear so they can add your event to their calendar!

Follow along to see how to get started using AddEvent as your online event RSVP tool:

RSVP Online: Add an event RSVP Form to your Event Landing Page

  1. When you share your online invitation with your users, you will want to share your event landing page. From there users will be prompted to RSVP for your event, as shown in the image below.
  2. After clicking ‘register’, your users will be asked to indicate if they are going and to enter their name and email address as shown below.
  3. To add an event RSVP form for attendees to RSVP online, create an event in the AddEvent Dashboard

    • Navigate to the ‘Dashboard‘ page on AddEvent.com
    • Click the white “+ Create” button, and select “Event”
    • Enter your event time, date and details into the event creation page
    • Check the RSVP box (see image below)
    • When you check the RSVP box, a dropdown menu will appear. This is where you can specify which RSVP form you would like to use. You can use a custom RSVP form you have created, or you can use the “Standard RSVP” form provided by AddEvent (see image below).
    • Once the event has been created, you can customize your RSVP settings and create a custom RSVP form if desired. To learn more about our free online RSVP tool, including settings and custom RSVP forms, you can learn about AddEvent’s event management software here.
    • To finish, click the blue “Create” button
  4. Share your event with your customers by using the Add to Calendar Links (also known as an RSVP link) in an email. Or use an Add to Calendar Button on your website or landing page.

    • The links and buttons are fully functional and linked to your event. When your users click the links or buttons, they’ll be taken to a unique landing page for your event, where they’ll be prompted to RSVP! This saves you the headache of building an entire event RSVP website and instead gives you an RSVP process in just a few minutes.
