Guests & contacts
How does the guest list work?
By Nimanto 1 min read
In short
Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Guests. Add guests one by one, import a spreadsheet or pick from your contact book. Each guest gets a personal link, and the list shows who was e-mailed, who opened and who replied.
The guest list is the heart of every invitation: who you invited, how to reach them, and what they said.
Where to find it
- 1Open the invitation from your dashboard.
- 2Choose Guests & RSVPs (it reads Guests when the invitation has no RSVP page).
You can build the list before you publish. Nobody is contacted until you publish; at that moment everyone with an e-mail address is invited automatically, each guest exactly once, and personal links start working.
What each guest row holds
- Guest: the name, a small group tag, and the e-mail and phone underneath.
- Party: how many they are coming with, out of their passes, once they reply ("3 of 4"). Before a reply it reads "Up to 4".
- Reply: their latest answer, or "No reply".
- Invitation: when it was e-mailed and when they first opened their personal link. See invitation status.
- Last activity: when they replied and the last message they wrote.
- Send: buttons to copy their personal link or share it on WhatsApp, by text or by e-mail.
Three ways to add people
- Add guest adds one person at a time.
- Import reads a CSV or Excel file.
- From contacts picks people already in your contact book.
Every guest you add anywhere is also saved to your contact book, so you only ever type a list once.
Personal links and the shared link
Each guest has a personal link that greets them by name, applies their passes and records their reply against their row. You also have one shared link for group chats; whoever replies through it joins the list in the group "Replied via link". The difference is explained in shared link vs personal links.
Keeping the list tidy
Search by name, e-mail, phone or group. Filter by reply. Tick rows to message or remove several at once, and Export the list as a CSV whenever you need it.
