How am I told when a guest replies?

You do not have to keep checking the dashboard. Each reply comes to you.

The alert e-mail

For every reply and every change of reply, an e-mail arrives with the subject "RSVP · <Name> accepts (3 guests) · <title>". The summary reads "accepts", "might come", "declines", "requests to join · needs your approval" or "joined the waitlist", each with the party size. Inside: the guest, their answer, who they are bringing, each questionnaire answer, any group-gift promise, the functions they chose, their e-mail and phone, dietary note and message, and an Open RSVP dashboard button. Replying to the e-mail reaches the guest.

Where the settings are

1. 1Open the invitation from your dashboard.
2. 2Under Search & notifications, find Host notifications. The switch is on for every new invitation.
3. 3Notify by e-mail is the address alerts go to; blank means the owner's login e-mail.
4. 4Choose Save details.

Switching it off stops the alert e-mail for this invitation. Replies still appear in the dashboard.

Turn alerts off for every invitation

Open Account settings, then Notifications, and switch off Guest replies · E-mail. No reply alert mail is sent for any invitation you own, whatever each invitation says. Replies still show under the website's bell and in the app. See notifications and the bell.

In the mobile app

Every host and accepted co-host gets a row in the app's Activity tab and a push notification for each reply, following the app's own notification preferences and quiet hours. The app also tells you the first time a guest opens their personal link. See push notifications.

Text messages

Text alerts for hosts are switched off on Nimanto for now, so the card shows the e-mail field alone.

Alerts you do not get

• Your own corrections in Edit guest, such as recording a Yes for a guest, send no alert.
• Replies while the invitation is unpublished cannot happen: the reply form only works on a published invitation.
