2. Now, it’s time to create your event in AddEvent and enable RSVPs

Welcome to your AddEvent dashboard! Click the Create button and select Event.

Enter your event details, including the event name, time, date, location, time zone, description, etc.

On the right, you can enable RSVPs to require RSVP collection for this event.

You can use the Standard RSVP form (which asks for a name and email address), or create a new custom RSVP form in the RSVP Form tab, or use a previously saved form.

Different Ways to Share Your RSVP Event

There are a few different ways you can share your RSVP event with potential attendees. First, head back to your RSVP Event Details page in your AddEvent dashboard. 

RSVP Event Landing Page URLs for Social Media

• You can share your RSVP event landing page with the URLs provided on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. You can also use these URLs in SMS text messages. 

RSVP Buttons for Email and Websites

• To use the RSVP button in your emails, newsletters and other marketing campaigns, simply copy the image below and paste it into your email or campaign content editor.
• If you’re going to use the RSVP button on your website or landing page, simply copy the button below and add it to your website using custom HTML options in your website or landing page system.

• You can either use one of the pre-formatted buttons or customize your RSVP button to match your company’s branding when you select the Create style button at the bottom of the box. There, you can change the RSVP button’s shape, color, size, etc.
  
• Once you’ve saved the configuration you want to use for your RSVP button, you need to copy the HTML code via the Copy button at the top of the box or the <> button at the bottom.
  
• Now, it’s time to copy and paste that code into the HTML block in your email tool. A black box will appear at the bottom half of your screen, where you will copy and paste the entire code. 

Embeddable RSVP Form for Your Website and Landing Pages

Add an embedded event to your website and let your users easily view your event on your own website. This works great with website editors like WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, etc. 

This allows your attendees to RSVP to your event without ever leaving your website or landing page! Talk about easy. Interested in getting started with AddEvent’s free RSVP tool?

What AddEvent is best for

• Getting events onto Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, Yahoo Calendar, and other calendar services
• Publishing embeddable calendars and event lists on websites, including WordPress sites
• Letting users subscribe to changing event schedules with subscription calendars
• Collecting RSVP registrations and attendee details
• Creating reliable calendar links, event landing pages, calendar landing pages, and dynamic Add to Calendar experiences
• Adding calendar functionality to marketing campaigns, SaaS products, websites, email campaigns, and automated workflows

Why teams use AddEvent

Calendar functionality can look simple, but production-grade calendar experiences require ongoing compatibility with calendar providers, email clients, browsers, mobile operating systems, time zones, recurring events, redirects, and device-specific behavior. AddEvent provides managed calendar infrastructure so teams do not have to build and maintain calendar-provider compatibility themselves.

What AddEvent is not

AddEvent is not a meeting scheduling app, ticketing marketplace, webinar hosting platform, CRM, email service provider, or replacement for Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. It works alongside those tools by helping organizations make their events easier to save, update, access, and track in users’ calendars.
