When you create an event, you can also enable the "Signup" functionality to help manage attendance.

Signup does the following:

  • Asks your users to RSVP to the event by clicking on a link and providing some contact information.
  • Sends them an event reminder at a predetermined time (usually 1 day) before the event.

To enable Signup:

  1. On the Event submission form (Create content > Event) there's a link (close to the bottom of the form) labeled "Signup settings".
  2. Click this link.
  3. The form will now expand to show two radio buttons: Enabled and Disabled.
  4. Click "Enabled".
  5. Signup is now enabled.
  6. The form will expand to allow you to provide information like who should receive notification e-mails (probably you) when people RSVP.
  7. It will also ask for the text you would like to use in the confirmation e-mails and the reminder e-mails.
