Using "Signup" Feature to Send Event Reminders and Manage RSVPs

Admin's picture

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.
