RSVPing to events

When the organizer of an event needs a headcount, they ask you to RSVP. You can RSVP in two ways: from the site, or with one click from the email we send you.

RSVP from the site

Open the event page and press Yes, I'll be there, Maybe, or No. Your answer is saved right away. If you change your mind, come back and pick a different answer.

RSVP from the email

The event email has three buttons at the bottom: Yes, I'll be there, Maybe, and Can't attend. Click the one that matches your answer. You don't need to sign in — the link does that for you.

Add a note

When you choose Yes, a box appears labelled "Can you bring or help with anything? (optional)". Type a short note — a table, a flag, chairs, AV, a vehicle, anything the organizer should know — then click Save note. A small "Saved — the organizer can see this now." message confirms it. (Typing alone doesn't save the note — you do need to click the button.)

Events with shifts

If the event has volunteer time slots, clicking Yes opens a small dialog: "Pick a volunteer slot or just say you'll be there?". Choose Pick a slot to scroll down to the shifts list, or pick the second option to mark yourself as attending in general.

Changing your answer

Most events let you change your RSVP right up until the event starts. Just open the event page again and pick a new answer. (A few events stay open even after they've happened — those are usually virtual events the organizer wanted to keep available for later viewing.)
