Whether you have a PopIn account or not, RSVPing is a one-tap step.
If you have an account
| Where you see the invite | What to do |
|---|---|
| The bell icon in the nav | Tap the notification → the event page opens with the RSVP card |
| The event page directly | The RSVP card is at the top of the page |
| Email or SMS link | Tap the link, it opens the event page |
Tap Going, Maybe, Interested, or Can't make it. That's it.
If you don't have an account
Just tap the link from your email or text. The event page opens, pick a response (guests see Going, Maybe, and Can't make it), enter your name, done. No sign-up. See RSVPing without a PopIn account for the full walkthrough.
What the options mean in practice
| RSVP | What hosts read it as |
|---|---|
| Going | "I'm planning to come, count me in the headcount." Hosts plan capacity off this number. |
| Maybe | "Probably not but I want to keep the door open." Most hosts read Maybe as the polite no. |
| Interested | "Keep me posted." You're not in the headcount, but the event stays on your radar and you'll see updates. Account holders only. |
| Can't make it | Clean decline. Reminders stop, host doesn't chase. |
If you want to actually attend, RSVP Going - hosts plan around real numbers, not wishful headcount. Maybe is a polite no.
Plus-ones
If the host allows them, you'll see a +1 option near the RSVP buttons. Add up to the limit the host set. Plus-ones don't need their own accounts.
If you don't recognise the event
If you got the invite by mistake, tap Can't make it to clear the pending status and stop reminder emails. You don't need to explain.
Changed your mind?
See Changing your RSVP. Updates are accepted right up until the event ends; after that the RSVP is locked.
