Efficiently managing event attendees begins with an effective invitation process. Our platform facilitates this by providing several ways to invite, track, and communicate with your event attendees. This guide aims to help you understand how to invite people to an event, share the event link, manage attendee statuses, and leverage other useful event-related features.

Inviting Attendees to Your Event

To start the process, click on the name of the event under Zoom, Events, Blog > Events from the side menu. Then select 'Edit Event' next to the event you would like to invite people to and click the 'Invite' button and follow the subsequent steps.

  1.     Select the contact(s) you wish to add to by filtering and/or selecting
  2.     Click an Invite button below
  3.     Click Return To Event

Upon invitation, attendees will appear in the 'Attendee List', providing a clear overview of invitees. The attendees will receive a link to the event page, where they can register and specify their attendance status as 'Yes', 'Maybe', or 'No'.

You can share the event link directly or through social media. To share the link directly, click the 'Copy' button to copy the link and paste it at your desired location. To share the event link via social media, click the 'Share' button and choose the desired social media platform.

Viewing the Event and Adding it to a Calendar

To view the event details, click the 'View Event' link. Additionally, you have the option to add the event to your Google or Yahoo calendar or download an ICS file. The ICS file can be used with other calendar software or attached to an email for others to use.

Updating an Attendee's Event Status

To manually update an attendee's status, click on their name in the attendee list, and from there, you can change their status or even uninvite them. To update the statuses of multiple attendees, click the 'Actions' button on the event page, which takes you to the contact manager. After filtering or selecting the contacts you wish to update, click the 'Actions' button in the contact manager and then click 'Update Event Fields'. From here, you can update the event status for all matching or selected contacts.
