Prepare event for invitation management #
The first step is to create a new event. Here a new event is created in Central and the โInvitation codeโ mode is selected in โSettingsโ. This means you will always be redirected to the correct homepage.
After an event has been created, the guests can also be imported. To do this, the event must be opened and the users uploaded directly to the event.
Create user #
Users can be created using the user import. You can find more information about this HERE.
Set up invitation management #
After importing the people to be invited, invitation management can be set up. The โInvitation Codeโ tab in the โSettingsโ menu item is used here.
Basic settings for background image and data storage can be adjusted in the first fields. It is recommended to use the default settings. The background can be customized.
The tabs at the bottom display the views of the various invitation management statuses. All available placeholders can also be used here.
Welcome text #
This is the home page when the event is accessed. Two placeholders can be used here.
If a printed invitation is sent, you can generate invitation codes that are linked to users. Invitation management can be started with these codes.
RSVP text #
The guest's feedback is recorded in this status. Here the guest can choose whether to attend an event, stay away or appear with an accompanying person. The ability to check all user data again helps to further improve the invitation process.
