Available settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Form Name | The internal name of the form (guests do not see this) |
Public / Private | Who can access the form (see Using private RSVP form links) |
Guest List | Which guest list new responses are added to |
Form URL slug | The custom part of your form URL (e.g., |
Unique Email Registration | When enabled, each email address can only be used for a single registration. Toggle this option to prevent duplicate accounts. Note: This setting only detects duplicates on the associated guest list of that form, not across the whole event or all guest lists. |
Confirmation Email | You have the option to select an active email template here. This email is sent once a guest clicks the submit button of the form. Perfect for automated confirmation emails with QR codes. |
Email Notifications (coming soon) | Send a notification email for each response to one or more email addresses, mainly used to keep yourself or your team in the loop in realtime |
Form closure Options | Close the form right away, on a specific date, or when your assigned guest list hits a certain number of guests. |
Link Preview and Favicon | Customize your form’s appearance on social media channels and add a favicon for the browser tab. Note that these features are for sharing the existing form. To embed a public form into your website, use the embed feature. |
Embed Form | Use the ready-to-use embed code to place the form on your website, complete with customization options. Keep in mind that this feature requires the form to be private. |
Confirmation email vs. notification email
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
Confirmation email | This is the 'Thank you' or 'You are confirmed' email sent to guests after they complete a form or press submit. Sending it requires: (1) an active email template to assign, and (2) either a default email field on the form or an existing email address in the guest's profile. |
Notification email (coming soon) | This is the email notification sent to you or your team each time a guest RSVPs. You can only select team members as recipients. Please note that the account used for these notifications may receive a high volume of emails. |
Limiting responses
| Setting | Use case |
|---|---|
Limit Responses per Guest List | Your breakfast registration form has a maximum capacity (e.g., 50 seats). Once 50 responses are on the breakfast guest list, the form closes automatically. |
Limit Responses per Event (coming soon) | Your event has a maximum capacity (e.g., 500 seats). Once 500 responses are across your lists, all forms close automatically, and a warning appears if you try to add guests manually. |
Email notifications
When enabled, you and your team will receive an email every time a guest submits the form.
Example use cases:
- Sales team gets notified when a VIP registers (VIP form)
- Event manager tracks real-time RSVP counts
- Support team follows up with guests who have special requests (Tip: show relevant field responses directly in the email)
Form status
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
Open | The form is live and accepting responses. |
Closed | The form is closed. Guests will see a "Form is no longer accepting responses" or a custom message. |
Note: You can switch a form back to Open at any time. No data is lost when you close or open a form.
Pro tips
- Set form response limits. Once the limit is reached, the form closes automatically – no need to monitor manually.
- Test notifications. Submit a test response to ensure email notifications are working.
- Deactivate the form after the event. This prevents unwanted submissions once your event is over.
