When you send out RSVPs with Magnetiq, you can set:

You can choose to limit the number of positive RSVPs to an event in two ways:

If guests click on the RSVP button beyond the maximum limit or the deadline, they will reach a page letting them know they're on the Waiting List.

Guests who have RSVP'd positively after the event is full will automatically be marked with the "Waiting list" invitations status.

They are identified by an orange circle icon (instead of the the green checkmark for an accepted RSVP) and you can filter by Waiting List to see just waiting guests.

In the Event Stats, you can check the size of your Waiting List, the date and time each guest was added and other important information about your campaign.

If a place opens up at your event - perhaps you've added extra seating or a guest has cancelled - you can then manually choose who you'd like to take the extra space.

Our recommended method is:

1/ Select the 'Waiting List' guest(s) you'd like to take the new place(s)

2/ Change their status to the 'Confirmed'

note we recommend using 'Confirmed' instead of 'To Be Confirmed' so that your event remains 'full' and not open to new RSVPs

3/ Contact each guest to inform them that they now have a seat, requesting that they inform you if they can no longer attend

When you create an email template with our editor, the RSVP block will remind you about the maximum attendance number and the deadline if you've chosen to set them.

If either the attendance limit or the time limit has been reached, a message will warn you when you're setting up the email and the RSVP button will be disabled, preventing you to send out requests that can not be fulfilled.

If the RSVP limits have been reached, and you try to duplicate an RSVP campaign, everything will be cloned except for the RSVP button.
