# RSVP

> How invitees respond: going, not going, maybe

Event invitees can **RSVP** (respond) via the link in their invite email. You see their status in the event (pending, going, not going, maybe).

## How invitees RSVP

1. The member receives an **event invite email** with a link (magic link or event page).
2. They open the link and see event details and RSVP options: **Going**, **Not going**, **Maybe** (or similar).
3. They submit their response. Their status updates in the event's invite list.

<Note>
  If the event has a **payment**, they may need to complete payment (or be waived) before their RSVP is confirmed. See [Event payments](/events/event-payments).
</Note>

## Reply by email (if supported)

* Some setups allow invitees to **reply by email** (e.g. "YES" or "GOING") to record their RSVP. Inbound replies are processed and update the invite. If this does not work, use the link in the email instead.

## Viewing RSVPs

* Open the **event** and go to the **Invitees** or **RSVP** section. You will see each invitee and their status: **Pending**, **Going**, **Not going**, **Maybe**.
* Use this list to plan capacity, follow up with non-responders, or [mark attendance](/events/attendance) after the event.

## Magic link and expiry

* The RSVP link is unique per invitee and may be token-based. If a member says the link does not work, send a **new invite** or use "Resend invite" (if available) so they receive a fresh link.
* Links may expire after a long time; for old events, consider creating a new event or resending.

See [Troubleshooting](/events/troubleshooting) for invite not received, link expired, or RSVP not saving.
