RSVPing right from an email
Every invitation email has three buttons — Yes, Maybe, No — so you can answer without signing in.
These emails are action-link emails. Use the buttons in the email rather
than replying. If the email ends with "Do not reply to this email," replies
to that email are not monitored. The footer timestamp, when shown, uses
Mountain Time (Alberta), with MT as the compact label inside the email.
How it works
Each button carries a one-time link tied to your email address. Clicking takes you to a confirmation page that says 'You're saying "Yes, I'll be there"' (or "Maybe" / "Can't attend"), with a confirm step that records your answer.
Where to find the buttons
The buttons appear in the body of any invitation email you receive. They're easier to tap on a phone than the equivalent on the website.
After you click
You'll land on the confirmation page with the popup title, date, time, and location. Confirm to record your answer, then use View full event details to open the popup's page (where you can add a note, sign up for a shift, or see how it's going).
Changing your mind
The link is single-use. Once you've clicked one of the three buttons and confirmed, the others in the same email stop working — a second click shows "This link has already been used" and asks you to log in. Sign in to the website and change your answer from the popup's page.
What if the button doesn't work?
The link is good for 60 days from when the email was sent — not forever. If it shows "This link is no longer valid", a newer invitation may have replaced it. Open the popup's page on the website and answer from there.
Privacy and forwarded emails
The link is tied to your email address. If you forward the email and the recipient is logged in with a different account, their click is blocked with a forward-guard error. An anonymous (logged-out) click on a forwarded link still works, so don't forward invitations you don't want acted on.
Still stuck?
If the link won't open or shows an error you don't expect, contact support.
